In order to study the Purpose in Life related to the Aggressive Behavior, we applied the translated version of “Life Purpose Test” by Crumbaugh and Maholich and the Violent Behavior Scale (CA) by Little on 771 subjects, of which 354 were men and 409 were women, with ages between 11 and 17 years, all of them students schools belonging to the province of Valencia. The results are congruent with the initial hypothesis; The Purpose in Life is negatively correlated to the subject´s Aggressive Behavior, so that people having a high level of Sense of Life will less involved in aggressive behavior.
