Abstract

The purpose of this study is to test the validity and reliability of aggressive behavior scale and is also to examine
aspects and indicators that can form variables of aggressive behavior. Aggressive behavior is measured by four
aspects, namely physical aggression, verbal aggression, anger, and hostility. The subjects in this study were all
X grade middle school students in Yogyakarta. The sample in this study was 60 students. The sampling
technique used was quota sampling technique. The data collection method was the scale of aggressive behavior.
Research data were analyzed with Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) through the SmartPLS 3.2.8 program.
Based on the results of data analysis, the aspects and indicators that make up the aggressive behavior variable
are declared valid and reliable. The most dominant aspect that reflects aggressive behavior is physical
aggression that has a loading factor value of 0.903. Meanwhile, the weakest aspect that reflects aggressive
behavior is hostility which has a loading factor value of 0.727. This shows that all aspects and indicators are
able to reflect and form aggressive behavior variables. Thus, the measurement model can be accepted because
the theory which describes the aggressive behavior variable fit with empirical data obtained from the subject.
