Abstract
Aggression is a pressing and pervasive concern that has detrimental effects on the individual and society at large. Aggression in children has an impact on their physical, socio-emotional, developmental well-being and academic performance. Behavioural issues, including aggression in children, have increased following the COVID-19 pandemic, which brought various distress for families and children. Also, the prolonged exposure to screens, violent video games, age-inappropriate content, distress in families, global circumstances, behaviour modelling and inadequate exposure to coping mechanisms are considered the major reasons for the same. The purpose of the current study is to investigate the gender variations in aggression levels between boys and girls aged 8-10 years during this post-pandemic period.
