“…Reactive aggression is defensive and retaliatory in nature and describes the form of aggression as a response to hostile behaviors or behaviors perceived as intentionally provocative. On the other hand, proactive aggression is a relaxed, deliberate, self-serving and goal-oriented form of aggression (Hubbard et al, 2010). Marsee and Frick (2007) emphasize that reactive and proactive aggression forms have different structures, which are cognitive and emotional.…”

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.

Objective: To evaluate the psychometric properties of the Brazilian version of the Peer Aggressive and Reactive Behaviors Questionnaire (PARB-Q), a self-report instrument comprising two independent scales that assess aggressive behavior and reactions to peer aggression. Method: A total of 727 elementary schoolchildren aged 8-13 years (52% boys) were included. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were used to evaluate the factor structure. Results: The Brazilian version of the PARB-Q was consistent with the original version. The results of the exploratory factor analyses (EFA) indicated a one-factor solution for the first scale (Peer Aggression Scale) and a three-factor solution (Reactive Aggression, Seeking Teacher Support, and Internalizing Reaction) for the Reaction to Peer Aggression Scale. The confirmatory analyses for both scales yielded good fit indices. Conclusion:The results of the statistical analyses suggested adequate psychometric properties and satisfactory validity and reliability of the Brazilian version of the PARB-Q, making it a useful tool for assessing aggressive behavior as well as children's reactions to aggression by their peers.

“…Este resultado, no esperado tampoco por los investigadores, puede ser relevante al estar también en consonancia con el encontrado por Barratt et al (1999), quienes en una muestra de estudiantes universitarios adultos, hallaron que la impulsividad no planificadora estaba relacionada con la agresión proactiva premeditada. Esto parece sugerir que la impulsividad estaría presente en los agresores proactivos a nivel de una mayor improvisación, ausencia de planificación e infravaloración de las consecuencias de sus actos, lo que podría también tener un marcado valor de cara al desarrollo específico de programas de intervención centrados en este tipo de adolescentes agresivos (Calvete y Orue, 2010;Hubbard et al, 2010).…”

“…Es por eso por lo que algunos estudios, debido precisamente al nivel de coocurrencia que manifiestan ambas tipologías de agresión, sugieren un tercer perfil reactivo-proactivo o mixto; quedando englobados los tres patrones de respuesta en un continuo dimensional (Hubbard, McAuliffe, Morrow y Romano, 2010). Diversos estudios realizados en los últimos años han mostrado que un importante número de jóvenes y adolescentes manifiestan conductas agresivas reactivas o proactivas, al tiempo que otros manifiestan conjuntamente ambos patrones de agresión (López-Romero, Romero y González-Iglesias, 2011;Muñoz, Frick, Kimonis y Aucoin, 2008).…”

Resumen: El presente artículo profundiza en el estudio de la impulsividad en una muestra de adolescentes agresivos. El objetivo principal de la investigación fue comprobar si diferentes dimensiones de la impulsividad varían en distintos grupos de adolescentes agresivos (reactivos, proactivos y mixtos) y no agresivos. Se aplicaron dos técnicas de auto-informe, el Cuestionario de Agresión Reactiva y Proactiva (RPAQ) y la Escala de Impulsividad de Barratt (BIS-11), en una muestra de 400 adolescentes de la Comunidad de Madrid con edades comprendidas entre los 12 y los 18 años de edad (edad media = 14.8 y DT = 1.8). Los resultados permitieron observar que los diferentes grupos de adolescentes agresivos presentaron mayores niveles de impulsividad general que los adolescentes no agresivos. Específi-camente, en relación con las distintas dimensiones de la impulsividad, no se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas en relación con las dimensiones cognitiva y no planificadora. Sin embargo, la impulsividad conductual fue significativamente superior en los tres grupos de adolescentes reactivos, proactivos y mixtos en comparación con los no agresivos. Se discuten estos resultados señalando la importancia de esta dimensión de la impulsividad como variable discriminativa entre grupos de adolescentes agresivos y no agresivos, en especial, de cara a la intervención psicológica con este tipo de población en entornos escolares. Palabras clave: Adolescentes agresivos reactivos, proactivos y mixtos; impulsividad cognitiva, conductual y no-planificadora. Title:Cognitive, motor and non-planner impulsiveness in reactive, proactive and mixed aggressive adolescents. Abstract: This paper focuses on the study of impulsiveness in a sample of adolescents with different types of aggression. The main research objective was to analyze whether impulsiveness varies between different aggressive adolescents (reactive, proactive and mixed) and non-aggressive ones. Two self-report measures, the Reactive and Proactive Aggression Questionnaire (RPAQ) and the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS-11) were administrated in a sample recollected in Madrid and composed by 400 adolescents between 12 and 18 years of age (mean = 14.8 and SD = 1.8). The results showed that reactive, proactive and mixed aggressive groups presented higher levels of general impulsiveness than nonaggressive adolescents. No significant differences in relation to cognitive and non-planner dimensions of impulsiveness were found. Nevertheless, motor impulsiveness was higher in reactive, proactive and mixed aggressive adolescents in comparison with non-aggressive ones. These results are discussed pointing out the relevance of motor impulsiveness as a discriminative factor of aggression, particularly in the context of psychological intervention with adolescents in scholar settings. Key words: Proactive, reactive and mixed aggressive adolescents; cognitive, motor and non-planner impulsiveness.
