The main study aims to identify relationships between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), self-esteem and aggression in the general population. There are 92 participants (42 male, 50 female) and the instruments used were: Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire (BPAQ), Rosenberg's Self Esteem Scale (RSE), Adverse Childhood Experiences International Questionnaire (ACE-IQ). The results indicate a negative correlation between ACE and self-esteem, and between self-esteem and aggression. The study also found a positive correlation between ACE and aggression. There were no gender differences in aggressiveness. The present paper brings an important addition to the literature for a clearer understanding of these concepts in the psycho-social field, being carried out on a general sample of the Romanian population, with no particularities other than the geographical area and the national culture. Investigating the relationship between self-esteem, aggression, and ACEs helps in the development and implementation of psychosocial interventions for prevention and early intervention. Considering the possible causal relationship between the concepts, future studies could investigate the mechanism that explains these relationships.
