“…Different results regarding the correlation between age and aggression forms can be seen in the literature. No significant correlation was determined between age and both aggression forms in many studies for instance Fite et al (2008); Little et al (2003); Scarpa et al (2010). However, giving the study conducted by Fung et al (2009), both reactive and proactive aggression correlates to age.…”

“…Li and Fung (2015) opined that there is higher proactive aggression in males and no differentiation in reactive aggression in the study of Chinese adolescents as Andreu et al (2009) found in the study of Spanish adolescents. There are studies such as Salmivalli and Nieminen (2002); Uz- Baş and Yurdabakan (2012) indicating that males have higher reactive and proactive aggression than females, yet some studies are of the opinion that there is no significant differentiation by gender in both aggression forms (Fite et al, 2008;. These differences can be explained by cultural factors.…”

“…For instance, Vitaro et al, (1998), in the middle adolescent period, and Scarpa et al (2010), in childhood period, determined that while delinquent behaviors predict proactive aggression, it cannot predict reactive aggression. However, some studies (Little et al, 2003;Fite et al, 2008) indicate that while there is a relation between delinquency and reactive aggression, there is no relation with proactive aggression. However, Card and Little (2006) reported that delinquency is related to both reactive and proactive aggression in their meta-analytic study.…”

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.

“…However, not all aggressive youth experience these problems later in life. Ecodevelopmental models that are based on the interaction of risk and protective factors over time between an individual and his or her environment (Richman & Fraser, 2001;Rutter, 2001) suggest multiple pathways to problem behavior (Fite et al, 2008). As risk accumulates, the likelihood of problem behavior also increases.…”

“…Because aggression is a multidimensional construct (Fite et al, 2008;, testing separate regression models offers greater distinction between the subtypes of aggression by disentangling the forms and functions, thus enabling us to examine a unique set of correlates for each subtype (Fite et al, 2008). Consistent with ecological systems theory, individual factors were entered first in each model, followed by family factors, and then peer and school factors.…”

Research on both the forms and functions of aggression has yet to include the experiences of lowincome minority adolescent girls, particularly Latinas. The present study addresses this limitation by applying ecological systems theory to identify risk and protective factors across multiple domains that increase and mitigate aggressive behavior among a sample of 212 low-income minority adolescent girls, primarily Latinas. Using hierarchical regression, 4 models are presented that capture significant risk and protective factors for instrumental overt aggression, instrumental relational aggression, reactive overt aggression, and reactive relational aggression. Results reveal several interesting patterns of risk and protection for each subtype of aggressive behavior. Relationships with parents and peers are key predictors for this sample, representing both risk and protection that might relate to important cultural factors. The study findings offer further considerations of culturally relevant, gender-specific risk and protective factors. Implications for social work research in terms of refining current prevention and intervention strategies are discussed.

In the past two decades, there has been significant interest among developmental psychopathologists in the study of relational forms of aggression, including gossip, social exclusion, and rumor spreading. This chapter reviews recent advances in research regarding the development of relational aggression in males and females. We focus on conceptual challenges in defining relational aggression, normative and atypical developmental trajectories, and theoretical and empirical work regarding gender differences in such conduct. We also examine potential mechanisms involved in the development of relational aggression, including biobehavioral, cognitive‐emotional, and social risk factors. Next, we discuss both positive and negative developmental outcomes associated with involvement in relational aggression. Implications for both cross‐cultural research and interventions are discussed. Finally, developmental psychopathology perspectives and directions for future research are highlighted.
