Guilt as a component of moral consciousness, which continues to develop intensively in early adolescence, is a relevant field of research, since a better understanding of this phenomenon will help prevent possible destructive consequences of its manifestation: increased anxiety, social maladjustment, etc. The aim of the article is to show the results of an empirical study of students’ guilt feeling as aggression in relation to its types and forms. The study involved 32 students of the Institute of Pedagogy and Psychology of the Federal State Budgetary Educational Institution of Higher Education "Petrozavodsk State University" (aged 19 to 21, 15 boys and 17 girls). As a result, statistically significant correlations were revealed between guilt as a form of aggression, and the relationships between guilt as aggression and its forms and types were found.
