Abstract	Relational aggression involves behaviors intended to harm others' social relationships, reputation or status, and feelings of belonging. Examples of the adverse correlates of relational aggression include peer rejection, anxiety and depression, poor psychological adjustment, problematic alcohol use, and dysfunctional anger. University housing offices receive complaints about relationally aggressive living situations, resident assistants are asked to settle disputes involving relationally aggressive students, and counseling center staff encounter students experiencing emotional distress due to relational victimization. By improving the understanding of relational aggression, administrators will be better equipped to mitigate its impact on campus. This study investigated the relationship of the Five-Factor Model (FFM; Goldberg, 1990) of personality and social anxiety to peer relational aggression among college students. The authors explored the relationships among the broad domains of personality represented by the FFM, social anxiety, and relational aggression in a college student sample. It was expected that emotional stability, agreeableness, and conscientiousness would be inversely related to relational aggression while extraversion would be positively related to relational aggression. In addition, it was expected that social anxiety would be positively related to relational aggression, explaining additional variance over and above gender and the full FFM. This study advances the knowledge of relational aggression among college students by identifying which aspects of personality are likely to be most salient and highlighting the relevance of social anxiety.
