A new aggression questionnaire identified four distinct scales: Physical Aggression, Verbal Aggression, Anger, and Hostility. Anger acts as a key link between aggression types and hostility, with validated internal consistency and stability.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Social Psychology
  • Personality Psychology

Background:

  • Aggression is a complex human behavior with various manifestations.
  • Existing measures may not adequately differentiate between distinct aggressive components.
  • Understanding the structure of aggression is crucial for psychological assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a new questionnaire to measure different facets of aggression.
  • To examine the interrelationships between distinct aggression scales.
  • To investigate the relationship between aggression components and demographic/personality factors.

Main Methods:

  • Construction of a novel aggression questionnaire.
  • Application of replicated factor analyses to identify underlying scales.

  • Correlational analyses to explore relationships between scales, personality traits, and peer nominations.
  • Assessment of internal consistency and temporal stability of the scales.

    • Main Results:

    • Factor analysis identified four reliable scales: Physical Aggression, Verbal Aggression, Anger, and Hostility.
    • Anger emerged as a mediating factor connecting physical/verbal aggression with hostility.
    • Men exhibited higher scores in Physical Aggression, Verbal Aggression, and Hostility, but not Anger.
    • Scales demonstrated good internal consistency and stability, and correlated significantly with personality traits and peer assessments.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed questionnaire effectively differentiates between various components of aggression.
    • Anger plays a pivotal role in the expression and relationship between different aggressive behaviors.
    • The findings underscore the importance of assessing specific aggression types rather than a global measure.
    • The study provides a validated tool for researchers and clinicians studying aggression.
