“…The self-report questionnaire is divided in eight sub-factors: assault (10 items), irritability (11 items), indirect hostility (nine items), resentment (eight items), negativism (five items), guilt (nine items), suspicion (10 items), and verbal hostility (13 items). In addition to subscale scores, the factors can be summed to provide a total score 21. The Buss-Durkee Hostility Inventory has demonstrated good internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha between 0.72 and 0.79), test-retest reliability (stability coefficients between .64 and .82), and convergent validity (correlation coefficients between 0.40 and 0.70 for measurements of aggression/hostility/anger) 21…”

Objective:To investigate the clinical differences between intermittent explosive disorder (IED) (disorder of aggression primarily directed towards others) and nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) (disorder of aggression predominantly directed towards the self) in order to better understand the different clinical subtypes of aggression.Methods:We used treatment-seeking samples to compare demographic and clinical correlates between 82 participants with IED and 55 participants with NSSI.Results:The IED group was older, more likely to be male, in a relationship, and employed than the NSSI group. With respect to clinical variables, the NSSI group had more severe depressive symptoms and more social adjustment difficulties. Regarding psychiatric co-morbidities, the IED group had higher rates of generalized anxiety disorder. On the other hand, the NSSI group had higher rates of major depressive disorder, agoraphobia, substance use disorder, and bulimia nervosa.Conclusions:Individuals with NSSI may benefit from better management of psychiatric comorbidities, specifically depressive symptoms and social adjustment difficulties. Conversely, the treatment of individuals with IED may be improved by targeting comorbid generalized anxiety disorder. Our results provide important insight for the development of tailored interventions for specific subtypes of aggression.

“…In the clinical context, a number of newer instruments also draw attention to a variety of facets of anger experience and expression that are not captured by the STAXI (cf. review by Fernandez et al, 2015). The Anger Disorders Scale, for example, permits a number of dysfunctional anger profiles to be identified, but is rarely used in evaluation research.…”

“…This measure although widely used, was not fully supported by factor analytic studies and has also been criticized regarding their used practice and theoretical clarity. In addition, it received criticism regarding the response scale employed, which was the true-false, that are known only results and what motivated the construction of the Hostility-Guilt Inventory of Buss and Durkee (Fernandez & Gregory, 2014).…”

Psychometric parameters of the subscale of hostility from the Symptom Checklist 90 (SCL-90)

The present study aimed to know the psychometric parameters of the SCL-90 hostility scale. For this, two studies were traced; In Study 1, 209 students, mean age 16 years (SD = 1.29), who responded to the Scale of Hostility and a sociodemographic questionnaire. The exploratory factorial analysis indicated a unidimensional structure, whose Cronbach’s alpha was.71. In Study 2, we sought to find additional evidence of validity and reliability counting with 212 students with a mean age of 16 years (SD = 1.19). The confirmatory factorial analysis tested the unifactorial structure and pointed to good adjustment indexes; good internal consistency and composite reliability were also observed. In general, the Scale of Hostility provided evidence of satisfactory validity and reliability.
