This study aims to map the tendency of antisocial behavior among university students using a descriptive quantitative approach. A total of 110 students participated by completing a 24–item antisocial behavior scale encompassing aggression, interpersonal manipulation, norm violation, and impulsivity. Descriptive analysis indicated that most students exhibited low to moderate levels of antisocial tendencies, with higher scores emerging primarily in internalized forms such as mild impulsivity and procrastination rather than overt antisocial behaviors. The instrument demonstrated moderate internal consistency (α = .55), reflecting the multidimensional nature of antisocial behavior. These findings suggest that severe antisocial tendencies are uncommon in this population, while self–regulation challenges remain relatively prevalent. Practical implications highlight the need for self–regulation training, preventive interventions, and accessible counseling services within higher education institutions. Future research is recommended to explore predictive factors, examine the dimensionality of the construct through factor analysis, and replicate the study across diverse educational contexts.
