    Summary

    Clinical referrals exhibit more adverse behaviors and temperaments than school-identified aggressive children. School-identified aggressive children show intermediate scores, differing in degree, not type, from controls.

    Area of Science:

    • Child Psychology
    • Behavioral Science

    Background:

    • Aggressive behavior in children is a significant concern in clinical and educational settings.
    • Understanding the behavioral and temperamental profiles of different aggressive groups is crucial for targeted interventions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the behavioral and temperamental characteristics of clinically referred aggressive children with those identified through school-based criteria.
    • To investigate potential qualitative differences in temperament among various aggression typologies.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized questionnaire techniques to assess behavior and temperament in four groups of aggressive children and one control group.
    • Compared clinical referrals, a combined 'any school criterion' group (teacher and peer reports), and controls.
    • Employed principal components analysis to explore temperamental differences.

    Main Results:

    • The clinical referral group displayed the most adverse behavioral scores, particularly in antisocial behavior.
    • School-identified aggressive children showed higher antisocial behavior scores than controls, with scores intermediate to the clinical group.
    • The clinical group had significantly more adverse temperament scores across all dimensions compared to both controls and the school-identified group.

    Conclusions:

    • Clinical referrals represent a more severe manifestation of aggression and adverse temperament.
    • School-identified aggression appears to be a difference in degree rather than type compared to controls.
    • No specific temperamental type was uniquely associated with the studied forms of aggression.
