The literature shows that aggression in adulthood is associated with adverse childhood experiences and genetics. This research aims to study the phenomenon of aggression in adulthood and analyse its relationship with genetics (dopamine and serotonin polymorphisms) and adverse childhood experiences. The sample was collected as part of the research project “Aggression and Genetics in a University Context” and consists of 93 individuals, 81 women, and 12 men. Participants completed a protocol consisting of a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Reactive–Proactive Aggression Questionnaire (RPQ), the Short Form of the Buss–Perry Aggression Questionnaire (BPAQ-SF), and the Childhood History Questionnaire (ACE). The most important results indicate that adverse childhood experiences are correlated with aggression in adulthood.
