Abstract
The inclination to terrorism may find its root in the personality variable of aggression. Area boys mean many things to many people, but usually, they invoke negative emotions. Observation of the
activities of area boys indicates a manifestation of physical and verbal aggression against the general public. This present study therefore examined the independent relationships between four
dimensions of aggression and terrorism inclination among area boys of Lagos metropolis. A survey design was adopted for the study utilising two valid instruments for measuring the study variables among 214 area boys. The location of the study consists of Yaba, Ojota, Agege and Ogba bus stops. The results obtained revealed significant positive independent relationships between anger, physical aggression, hostility and verbal aggression; and terrorism inclination. Recommendations are proffered on the critical role of concerned agencies.
