Abstract

This study aimed to identify the forms of aggressive behavior, the contributing factors, and the impacts of aggressive behavior among seventh-grade students at UPTD SMPN 10 Kupang in the 2025/2026 academic year. This study employed a qualitative approach using a case study design. The research subjects consisted of 10 students who exhibited aggressive behavior, one Guidance and Counseling teacher, one homeroom teacher, and one school principal, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis employed the Miles and Huberman model, which included data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Data validity was established through triangulation and member checking. The findings showed that the forms of aggressive behavior included physical aggression, verbal aggression, anger, and hostility, with verbal aggression being the most frequently exhibited form among the students.
