Hi,

I recommend you carefully read the Science Buddies Project Guide, particularly the first five major headings. I think you need to carefully think about what you mean by aggressive and how you could measure it. Here is a link to the project guide:

The first step is to formulate your question. What do you want to find out or know?
Your hypothesis is your guess about what the answer will be.

If you still can’t figure this out, I recommend looking at the Science Buddies Project Idea Guide, and look for another project.

Particularly the projects on Human Behavior:

And sociology:

I think you might be particularly interested in these project ideas:

This project may be directly applicable to your idea:

I hope this helps. Good luck on the project!
