Measuring aggression: Self‐reports, partner reports, and responses to provoking scenarios

Abstract: This paper describes three studies. The first is concerned with the relationship between the Aggression Questionnaire (AQ) and a peer-report version of the AQ (AQ-P). The results (from a sample of 77 men aged 19 to 55 years) showed agreement between the two versions, thus providing evidence for the congruent validity of the AQ-P, and good internal consistency was shown for the subscales of the AQ and AQ-P. The second study involved the development, piloting, and validation of a vignettebased assessment of aggr… Show more

“…Specifically, we suggest that as people age they tend to maximize pleasure, to have more rewarding and pleasant experiences, to use better adaptive strategies, including milder and more sophisticated kinds of aggression, and, at the same time, to decrease cognitive impulsiveness and the more disruptive forms of extreme violence. This is to be considered in the light of some recent reports on human aggression: An inverse association between self-reported aggression and age, with lower values at older ages among adults (see Archer, 2000;O'Connor et al, 2001). Explanations for the apparent contradiction may range from Quetelet's (1833) emphasis on declining physical strength (both strength and intermale homicides peak between 25 and 30 years of age) and "passion", to Daly and Wilson's view (1988) that young men's aggression represents reproductive competition arising from sexual selection.…”

“…Although the link between anger and revenge has been well documented (Aquino and Douglas, 2003;Berkowitz, 1990;Glomb, 2002), victims may not always act on their anger by seeking revenge. Rather, the tendency to overtly express aggression is often suppressed and replaced by more socially adapted reactions (Kuppens, Van Mechelen, & Meulders, 2004), such as avoidance (Georgakopoulos, 2004;O'Conner et al, 2001), or even reconciliation (McCullough et al, 1997;McCullough et al, 1998) and efforts to 'tend-and-befriend" (Taylor et al, 2000).…”

“…En effet, dans une méta-analyse sur le sujet, Bushman et al (1991) Les quelques études qui se sont par la suite intéressées à la structure factorielle de l'instrument ont mené à des résultats similaires mais non identiques. En effet, ces études rapportent une structure à deux facteurs de l'instrument où les dimensions Physique et Verbale de l'agression sont combinées pour former un seul facteur alors que le second facteur Hostilité consiste en une combinaison des dimensions Ressentiment, Soupçon, et Irritabilité (Bending, 1962;Edmunds & Kendrick, 1980 (Bushman, 1995;Bushman et al, 1991;Harris, 1996;Lovas, & Trenkova, 1996;O'Connor, Archer, & Wu, 2001;Meesters, Mûris, Bosma, Schouten, & Beuving, 1996;Williams, Boyd, Cascardi, & Poythress 1996). C'est donc dans le but de fournir un instrument de mesure rencontrant les standards psychométriques actuels que Buss et Perry (1992) Suite à l'étude de Buss et Perry (1992), différents chercheurs se sont intéressés à la structure factorielle du AQ.…”

“…Les résultats de ces recherches révèlent l'existence d'une structure factorielle relativement constante à travers les cultures. En effet, les résultats obtenus aux analyses factorielles exploratoires (Bernstein & Gesn, 1997;Garcia-Leon et al, 2002;Nakano, 2001) de même qu'aux analyses factorielles confirmatoires (Archer et al, 1995;Fossati et al, 2003;Harris, 1995;Meesters et al, 1996) Par ailleurs, certaines études tendent à démontrer un meilleur ajustement du modèle après l'abandon de certains items (Hams, 1995;Meesters et al, 1996;Nakano, 2001 Dans le même sens, les résultats de l'étude de Meesters et al (1996) portant sur la validation de la version néerlandaise du AQ rapporte un ajustement pauvre du modèle à quatre facteurs de l'étude originale ( Jusqu'à présent, il semble que la validation de la structure factorielle du AQ ait été limitée aux populations étudiantes à l'exception de l'étude de Williams et al (1996) (Archer et al, 1995;Harris, 1995;Harris, 1997;O'Connor et al, 2001 (Lovas & Trenkova, 1996) et de 0,53 à 0,85 pour la version italienne (Fossati et al, 2003) du AQ. L'étude de la validation de la version néerlandaise (Meesters et al, 1996) Aussi, les résultats de certaines études corroborent la fidélité de l'instrument (Garcia-Leon et al, 2002;Harris, 1997;Meesters et al, 1996).…”
