Abstract

This study aimed to identify self-regulation and its relationship to aggressive behavior among students with learning disabilities in Amman. A random sample of 100 students was selected from resource classrooms in schools during the 2018/2019 academic year. The researcher developed two scales to measure the levels of self-regulation and aggressive behavior, both of which were verified. The results revealed that the level of self-regulation among students with learning disabilities was low, while the level of aggressive behavior was moderate. Additionally, the results indicated that there was no correlation between self-regulation and aggressive behavior. The researcher recommended conducting more studies on other specialized educational groups.
