  • To discuss the ambiguity in defining aggressive behavior and its impact on research and practice.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review synthesizing existing research on aggressive behavior in intellectual disability.
  • Analysis of prevalence rates across different typologies of aggressive behavior.
  • Exploration of definitional challenges and their implications.

Main Results:

  • Aggressive behavior is a common concern in individuals with intellectual disability, varying in type and severity.
  • Prevalence data for specific typologies of aggressive behavior are presented, highlighting common patterns.
  • The review identifies significant ambiguity in the definition and classification of aggressive behaviors.

Conclusions:

  • Accurate classification and understanding of aggressive behavior typologies are essential for tailored interventions.
  • Further research is needed to address definitional inconsistencies and improve the accurate measurement of aggressive behaviors.
  • Improved service provision requires a focus on person-centered strategies informed by the prevalence and types of aggressive behaviors observed.
