The research report showed a significance value of .000 (p < .005); with a t value of –10.054 indicating relational aggression had a significant negative impact on the students’ psychological well-being. The negative t-value indicates an inverse correlation between relational aggression the students’ psychological well-being; the higher the relational aggression the less psychological well-being students exhibited on the measure. The R Square value of 0.406 indicates that relational aggression accounted for 40.6% in the variance for psychological well-being.
