“…In relation to the management of persistent violence, however, the contribution of other atypical antipsychotics remains uncertain [52]. Future research also is urgently needed to clarify whether antipsychotics reduce violence only in those individuals whose aggressive behaviour is driven by their psychotic symptomatology, or whether they lead to neurobiological changes that reduce violence independently of decreased psychotic symptoms [50]. Additionally, we found evidence that nonadherence with medication increased violence risk.…”

“…23,24 Conversely, in agreement with the general view, scientific evidence suggests that individuals who undergo adequate treatment are less likely to commit violent acts. 25 Among the variables evaluated, labeling the vignette as "mental illness" and attributing "biological causes" showed statistical association with perceived dangerousness.…”

Objective: To assess public stigma in relation to people with schizophrenia and possible factors associated with this phenomenon. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted with a probabilistic sample of 500 individuals who live in the city of São Paulo, Brazil, and are aged between 18 and 65 years. A structured questionnaire was used, and it was applied in person. Questionnaire began with the presentation of a vignette describing an individual with schizophrenia (according to DSM-IV and ICD-10 criteria). This was followed by questions that assessed perceived negative reactions and discrimination, perceived dangerousness and emotional reactions in relation to the case presented in the vignette. Results: People with schizophrenia were perceived as potentially dangerous by 74.2% of interviewees. In addition, 59.0% of the sample perceived them as capable of arousing negative reactions, and 57.2% as capable of arousing discrimination in society. However, emotional reactions reported by the interviewees themselves were mainly pro-social in nature. The most important factors associated with these responses were: attribution of "biological" causes and perceived dangerousness. Conclusion: This study indicated that beliefs related to public stigma towards people with schizophrenia are commonly held in São Paulo city. An important focus for future studies is to investigate the scope and impact of public stigma on the everyday experiences of people with schizophrenia in the Brazilian context. Descriptors

“…Fung et al (2009) It is crucial to understand aggressive behavior in children and adolescents to know the different forms of aggressive behavior in order to demonstrate effective approaches for prevention and intervention, and to provide specific approaches to different forms of aggression (Raine et al, 2006). Indeed, clinical research indicates that different intervention programs are effective with different forms of aggression (Antonius et al, 2013;Swanson et al, 2008;. Anger management and social cognitive reconstruction especially with regard to self-attribution biases can be used in studies with reactive aggression.…”

The aim of this study was to adapt the Reactive-Proactive Aggression Questionnaire (RPQ), developed to measure two dimensions of aggression which are reactive and proactive, to Turkish and test the validity and reliability of the Turkish form. The study group consisted of 278 students in four junior high schools in Adana, Turkey, and 485 students in four high schools in Hatay, Turkey. One-factor and twofactor models were compared in the study of Confirmatory Factor Analysis conducted to examine the construct validity of the scale and the two-factor model was found to have better fit values for both junior high school and high school students, as well as the general study group as a whole. It was found that reactive and proactive aggressions have significant relations with attitude towards violence, trait anger, delinquency, deviant peers, anxiety, depression and hostility. Furthermore, it was determined that the scale has high internal consistency and item-total correlation. The results obtained in this study are consistent with the results of the original form of the scale. Findings of the study demonstrate that the Turkish version of RPQ has adequate reliability and validity values.

Comparison of antipsychotic medication effects on reducing violence in people with schizophrenia

Abstract: Newer antipsychotics did not reduce violence more than perphenazine. Effective antipsychotics are needed, but may not reduce violence unrelated to acute psychopathology.
