Aim and Background: It is essential to design a scale for the evaluation of aggressive attitudes and behaviors, and to investigate its outcomes and factors effective on. The aim of this research was the evaluation of reliability and validity of affective styles scale and the relation of its components with aggressive attitudes. Method and Materials: The validation and correlative research methods were used. A sample of 350 Bachelor&rsquo;s students was selected from students of Ferdowsi University of Mashhad and Mashhad University of Medical Sciences. Sampling method used was quota sampling. The affective styles scale (ASQ) of Hofmann and Kashdan, and aggressive attitudes scale of Izenk- Wilson were completed by participants. The validity and reliability of affective styles scale were verified by Cronbach&rsquo;s alpha, content and construct validity, CFA, and PCA. &nbsp; Findings: Results showed that the dominant affective style in students is emotional adjustment. Furthermore, results show that there was a statistically significant negative relation between concealment and aggression (r = -0.11, P < 0.05), and emotional adjustment and aggressive attitudes (r = -0.27, P < 0.05). However, there was no significant relation between aggressive attitudes and emotional tolerance. Multiple regression analysis results showed that emotional self-regulating components can predict aggressive attitudes) P < 0.01). Conclusions: Emotional self-regulating scale is valid and reliable for Iranian students. In addition, we can say that one of the factors related to aggressive attitudes is emotional style.&nbsp;&nbsp;
