Abstract: This study investigated the influence of personality types on peer victimization and aggression among students in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers State. The independent variables were Type A and Type B personalities, while the dependent variables were peer victimization and aggression. The study adopted an analytical survey research design. The sample comprised 600 secondary school students, selected through a combination of simple random sampling and stratified random sampling techniques. Two instruments were used for data collection: the Personality Type Assessment Scale (PTAS) and the Peer Victimization and Aggression Assessment Scale (PVAAS), with reliability coefficients of 0.67 and 0.70, respectively. The data were analyzed using multiple regression analysis. The results indicated that the joint and independent influence of Type A and Type B personalities on peer victimization and aggression were statistically significant. Based on the findings, it was recommended that classroom teachers should intensify efforts to properly address aggressive behaviors among their students. Additionally, a referral service should be made available to the school guidance counselor for counseling services. The study also identified counseling implications for conflict resolution, such as helping students develop emotional awareness to enhance their understanding of themselves and others, and counseling them to pay attention and accurately read people's nonverbal signals.
