There was a significant positive correlations that could be seen in stress (r=.436, p<.001), coping behaviors (r=.500, p<.001), as well as depression (r=.333, p<.001) in relation to aggression. The variables of aggression in school-age children were stress, coping behaviors, depression, satisfaction with school life and gender which explained 40.4% of the cases.
