“…Psychopathological studies have reported that anger rumination constitutes a risk factor for trait and mood anger according to longitudinal follow-ups (Takebe, Takahashi, & Sato, 2016), also, it is associated with proactive and reactive aggressive behavior mediated by moral dissociation (Wang et al, 2018), an intentional control as low self-regulation (White & Turner, 2014), and allows predicting the tendency to aggression from emotional dysregulation (Martino et al, 2015), since it is considered a mediator between emotional intelligence and physical, verbal and indirect aggression (García-Sancho, Salguero, & Fernández-Berrocal, 2016). Secondary psychopathy and the relationship with reactive and proactive aggression have also been reported to be high in young adults (Guerra & White, 2017).…”

La rumiación ira es pensamiento perseverativo sobre un evento personalmente significativo ocurrido a la persona o las demás que conlleva a la ira y se constituye como factor de riesgo para la agresión. El objetivo fue realizar un análisis factorial confirmatorio e invarianza por sexo y edades de la Anger Rumination Scale [ARS]. Se conformó una muestra no probabilística de 640 personas con entre 18 y 63 años (M = 31.07, SD = 11.27), agrupadas por sexos (252 hombres, 378 mujeres) y edades (278 menores de 25 años, 352 mayores de 25 años). Los instrumentos fueron el ARS y el cuestionario de agresión reactiva y proactiva RPQ. Se encontró que el ARS presenta un ajuste favorable en un modelo de cuatro factores correlacionados con covarianzas residuales. A su vez, resultó invariante entre sexos y edades luego de imponer restricciones progresivas en el modelo confirmado, y presentó correlaciones significativas con la agresión reactiva y proactiva como evidencias de la validez de criterio predictivo. Se concluyó que el ARS presenta indicadores adecuados de fiabilidad y validez para ser usado en el contexto colombiano. Anger rumination is perseverative thinking about a personally significant event that occurred to the person or others that leads to anger and constitutes a risk factor for aggression. The aim was to perform a confirmatory factor analysis and invariance by sex and age of the Anger Rumination Scale [ARS]. A non-probabilistic sample of 640 people between 18 and 63 years old (M = 31.07, SD = 11.27), grouped by sex (252 men, 378 women) and ages (278 under 25 years old, 352 over 25 years old) was formed. The instruments were the ARS and the RPQ reactive and proactive aggression questionnaire. It was found that the ARS presents a favorable fit in a four-factor model correlated with residual covariances. In turn, it was invariant between sexes and ages after imposing progressive restrictions on the confirmed model and presented significant correlations with reactive and proactive aggression as evidence of the validity of predictive criteria. It was concluded that the ARS presents adequate indicators of reliability and validity to be used in the Colombian context.

“…The moderate and significant correlation of AQ-SF scores with trait anger and social problem-solving scores in adolescent and adult applications confirmed the construct validity of AQ-SF. A significant and moderate correlation between AQ scores and trait anger level was reported by Wang et al (2018). Similarly, Kuzucu (2016) reported a significant correlation between AQ-SF scores and social problem-solving scores.…”

The aim of the present study was to test the psychometric properties of the Aggression Questionnaire Short Form for adolescents and adults in Turkish. The adaptation study was conducted with 778 adolescents aged between 15-18 and 1067 adults aged between 19 and 44. The construct validity of the questionnaire was tested via Parallel Analysis, Exploratory Factor Analysis and Confirmatory Factor Analysis. Furthermore, item-total correlations, test-retest score correlation, and internal consistency (Cronbach Alpha and McDonald's Omega) were calculated as reliability analyses. The Measurement Invariance test and Differential Item Functioning in male and female, adolescent and adult samples were also conducted. The results yielded that the Turkish version of the Aggression Questionnaire Short Form is a reliable questionnaire with four-factors, and without sex and age differences, it can be used to measure aggression among Turkish adolescents and adults.

“…Regarding other limbic structures, the hippocampus and the anterior insula maintain anger expression facilitation projections with the supramarginal and angular gyrus, the superior and middle frontal gyrus, the ventral striatum, and the ACC. In this regard, the middle frontal gyrus plays an important role in hostile cognitive bias and angry rumination (or how often an individual tends to re-experience negative feelings) [54,55]. We also hypothesized that the heightened connectivity between the left/right orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) in violent inmates [49] may play a role in angry rumination.…”

Introduction: There is growing scientific interest in understanding the biological mechanisms affecting and/or underlying violent behaviors in order to develop effective treatment and prevention programs. In recent years, neuroscientific research has tried to demonstrate whether the intrinsic activity within the brain at rest in the absence of any external stimulation (resting-state functional connectivity; RSFC) could be employed as a reliable marker for several cognitive abilities and personality traits that are important in behavior regulation, particularly, proneness to violence. Aims: This review aims to highlight the association between the RSFC among specific brain structures and the predisposition to experiencing anger and/or responding to stressful and distressing situations with anger in several populations. Methods: The scientific literature was reviewed following the PRISMA quality criteria for reviews, using the following digital databases: PubMed, PsycINFO, Psicodoc, and Dialnet. Results: The identification of 181 abstracts and retrieval of 34 full texts led to the inclusion of 17 papers. The results described in our study offer a better understanding of the brain networks that might explain the tendency to experience anger. The majority of the studies highlighted that diminished RSFC between the prefrontal cortex and the amygdala might make people prone to reactive violence, but that it is also necessary to contemplate additional cortical (i.e., insula, gyrus [angular, supramarginal, temporal, fusiform, superior, and middle frontal], anterior and posterior cingulated cortex) and subcortical brain structures (i.e., hippocampus, cerebellum, ventral striatum, and nucleus centralis superior) in order to explain a phenomenon as complex as violence. Moreover, we also described the neural pathways that might underlie proactive violence and feelings of revenge, highlighting the RSFC between the OFC, ventral striatal, angular gyrus, mid-occipital cortex, and cerebellum. Conclusions. The results from this synthesis and critical analysis of RSFC findings in several populations offer guidelines for future research and for developing a more accurate model of proneness to violence, in order to create effective treatment and prevention programs.
