School aggression, particularly at the secondary level, is a persistent problem worldwide. This study evaluates the effects of a cognitive-behavioral program on aggressive behaviors in high school students. A quantitative design was used with a sample of 194 students and the Buss and Perry (1992) Aggression Questionnaire, which includes 29 items distributed in four dimensions: physical aggression, verbal aggression, anger and hostility. The results revealed that no significant differences (p>0.05) were observed between pretest and posttest in the control group for any of the dimensions evaluated. In contrast, in the experimental group, significant differences (p<0.05) were found in all dimensions of aggression, indicating that the program had a considerable impact on the reduction of aggressive behaviors. In conclusion, the cognitive-behavioral program proves to be effective in improving the emotional management of high school students.
