The present study examined the gender differences in relational aggression and
psychosocial problems in romantic relationships among youths. Romantic
relational aggression and romantic relational victimization scales were used to
assess the relational aggression and psychosocial problems were assessed
using the scales of social anxiety, loneliness, depression and alcohol use. The
sample was comprised of 183 university students. Inconsistent with the past
researches, males and females reported significant gender differences in
romantic relational aggression. Males reported more relational aggression in
romantic relationship, which has not been found in any previous research. Due
to lack of responses on alcohol use, it was not included in the analysis.
