Perceived Stress as correlates to the Aggression Profile among Drug Dependents: Basis for Enhanced Behavioral Management Program
Journal Title: Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal - Year 2022, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
This study determined that perceived stress correlates to the aggression profile among drug dependents. Its result served as the basis for an enhanced behavioral management program. Perceived stress was the feeling or thought that an individual has about how much stress he is under at a given point in time or over a given time. Whereas, aggression is a behavior that involves a threat or action that potentially or actually causes pain, withdrawal, or loss of resources. The researcher used the descriptive-correlational method, as it was adopted to gather the data needed in determining the relationship between perceived stress and aggression among drug dependents. The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and Aggression Questionnaire (AQ) were used to measure the mentioned variables. Based on the gathered data, results showed that the severity of stress of the respondents falls under the moderate level; though the majority of the respondents have a high level of aggression. There is also a significant relationship between stress and the aggression profile of drug dependents. With these results, an enhanced behavioral management program was proposed.
