Keywords:

The present study examines the relationship between relational aggression and self-esteem. Participants of this study were 281 active student of University X aged 18-25 years. Data collection was done by employing online questionnaires. The questionnaires included three measuring instruments that have been adapted to the Indonesian language, which were Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, Self-Report of Aggression and Social Behavior Measure, and the Marlowe-Crowne Social desirability Scale Form C. The results showed that there is no significant correlation between relational aggression and self-esteem. Other findings related to the research variables are also discussed in the present study.
