Abstract	The purpose of the study is to discover the relationship between big 5 personality traits and aggression, as well as their impact on young and middle-aged people, specifically those aged 20 to 50. There were 50 young adults aged 20 to 34 years, and 50 middle-aged adults aged 35 to 50 years. There were more males than females in young adults. Over the last ten years, several research have been conducted employing the big five traits and aggression. As a result, there is a substantial variation in aggressiveness ratings across both age groups, and there is a correlation between big 5 personality traits and aggression. The finding suggested that young adults have higher level of aggression compared to middle adults and all Null Hypothesis was rejected, that mean that there is a significant difference in aggression of the age group and there is a correlation between each big 5 trait and aggression due to internal and external factors.
