Abstract

This study analyzes the relationship between trait anger and social media usage intensity on verbal aggression among Generation Z in Surabaya. The prevalence of hate speech, hostile comments, and online conflict highlights the need for psychological investigation of aggressive digital behaviors. The quantitative correlational study involved 200 participants aged 18–25 years who actively used social media for at least three hours per day. Instruments included the Trait Anger Scale (α = 0.87), Social Media Usage Intensity Scale (α = 0.82), and Verbal Aggression Scale (α = 0.89). Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation and multiple regression. Results revealed a significant positive relationship between trait anger and verbal aggression (r = .52; p < .001), and between social media usage intensity and verbal aggression (r = .38; p < .001). Collectively, both variables explained 41% of the variance in verbal aggression (R² = .41; p < .001). Findings indicate that verbal aggression is influenced by the interaction between dispositional and digital environmental factors.
