Abstract: Social Information Processing (S.I.P.) explains how the cognitive stages in individuals when judging a situation they are facing, thus this theory can be used to understand the thinking process of an individual when showing aggression. In order to elevate the ability of S.I.P., cognitive behaviour therapy can be performed in order to reduce the act of violence, anger, impulsiveness, focus and to enhance the ability in problem solving. On the teenager, group intervention is considered highly successful because they are in the stage of confirming an occuring problem into a problem that requires solution by all involved. The purpose of this research is to find out the roles of cognitive behaviour group therapy in order to elevate the ability of S.I.P. in teenage students behaving aggresively. Research use the experiment method with the one group pretest-posttest design. Result of research show an increase of S.I.P. ability on all the participants.
