One of the explainer theories of aggression is frustration – aggression theory. One of the sources of frustration in students is academic frustration.  Studies revealed that the high intelligence and academic self efficacy can make academic success and predict the academic frustration. The aim of present investigation was study of the relationship between types of aggression, intelligence and academic self-efficacy. 210 female and male high school students at grade 10 from BandarAbbas (Iran) were selected by the available sampling. Buss and Perry Aggression Questionnaire, Raven’s Progressive Matrix and self-efficacy questionnaire for children were administered on the students. Findings indicated that general aggression; physical aggression, angry and hostility negatively correlate to academic self-efficacy, Also general aggression, physical aggression and angry negatively correlate to intelligence. In the regression analysis both academic self-efficacy and intelligence could predict the aggression. It seems that consideration to probable affect of deficit in both intelligence and self-efficacy on academic frustration and probable affect of this frustration on aggression; it can be explain the predictability of aggression by intelligence and self-efficacy. This investigation also has showed that there are not any gender differences in the variables of present study. It seems that the beliefs and evidences of superiority of males in aggression were not much generalizable to all statistical populations.
