Eighty physical education students were randomly selected from Lautoka Campus, Fiji National University (FNU), FIJI. All the physical education students voluntarily participated in this study. The participants’ age ranged from Ř0 to řŚ years. The Buss Perry Aggressiveness Questionnaire was used for the research purpose. It is a self- report scale consisting of 29 items answered on a 5-point Likert type scale. For the statistical analysis IBM SPSS Statistics 22 software was used. The paired two tails t-test was used at the 0.05 significance level. The result of the data indicates that females are more aggressive than males and Fijian are more aggressive than the I-Taukei physical education students. As a result, the variables that predict the physical education students’ aggressiveness have different analytical values. Therefore, it can be beneficial to take these values into account for the preventive measures and supporting services that can be carried out in the studies of psychological counselling and guidance.
