“…Bryant and Smith (2001) decided to change the original 5-point scale to a 6-point scale to eliminate the scale's mid-point and force respondents to decide whether each statement was characteristic of them, but in the present study, we used the original 5-point scale (range of possible values 0-48). The Portuguese form of the BPAQ-SF was used (Pechorro, Barroso, Poiares, Oliveira, & Torrealday, 2016) in this study. The internal consistency for the present study, estimated by Cronbach's alpha, was as .77.…”

The aim of the present study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Reactive-Proactive Aggression Questionnaire (RPQ) among a forensic sample of incarcerated male juvenile offenders ( N = 221). The Portuguese version of the RPQ demonstrated promising psychometric properties, namely, in terms of factor structure, internal consistency, convergent validity, discriminant validity, and concurrent validity that generally justifies its use among this population. Statistically significant associations were found with conduct disorder, age of criminal onset, age of first problem with the law, crime seriousness, physical violence use in committing crimes, alcohol use, cannabis use, cocaine/heroin use, and having unprotected sex. The findings provide additional support for the extension of the RPQ across different cultures, ethnic groups, and samples.

“…De acuerdo con Buss (1961), la agresividad se puede definir como la respuesta que efectúa un ser vivo para dañar a otro. Por ende, a pesar de ser una parte de la naturaleza humana, es posible que se convierta en un factor de riesgo para el desarrollo de conductas antisociales sumamente perjudiciales, como la delincuencia y la violencia de pareja (Pechorro et al, 2015;Redondo et al, 2017). En consecuencia, evaluarla de forma correcta y precoz es esencial para un abordaje adecuado a nivel terapéutico, pudiendo así prevenir muchos problemas y consecuencias graves.…”

“…Aunque la agresividad es inherente al comportamiento humano, constituye un factor de riesgo para diferentes formas de conducta antisocial, como la delincuencia o la violencia de pareja (Pechorro et al, 2015;Redondo et al, 2017). Debido a las enormes consecuencias que tienen las conductas agresivas, la Organización Mundial de la Salud declaró a los problemas asociados a la agresividad y la violencia como uno de los principales problemas de salud pública en todo el mundo (OMS, 2003).…”

en Argentina existe un crecimiento sostenido de delitos y problemas asociados a la agresividad. Además, se observa un aumento en la cantidad de mujeres que fueron víctimas de violencia durante el último año. A pesar de esta problemática, no se cuenta con instrumentos psicométricos debidamente adaptados a la población de adultos. Para validar el Cuestionario de Agresividad (AQ) se contó con la participación de 799 adultos (65,8% eran mujeres). Estudios previos proponen estructuras factoriales que varían entre los dos y cuatro factores, por lo que se comparó el ajuste de los diferentes modelos. El modelo de tres factores (hostilidad, violencia verbal y violencia física) presentó un mejor ajuste. Los niveles de consistencia interna resultaron óptimos (valores α comprendidos entre .88 y .79). Asimismo, se obtuvieron evidencias favorables de validez al correlacionar las puntuaciones del AQ con medidas de Intolerancia a la Frustración.

“…The current study uses a modified version of the BPAQ-SF, in that responses are made along a 5-point, rather than 6-point scale (as in Bryant and Smith's version) to maintain consistency with the original format of the AQ. The Portuguese validation of the BPAQ-SF (Pechorro, Barroso, Poiares, Oliveira, & Torrealday, 2016) was used in this study. The mean score (and SD) of the BPAQ-SF for the current study was 26.57 (8.35).…”

Aggression can be considered a multidimensional construct that influences various forms of antisocial behavior, including juvenile delinquency and conduct problems. The aim of the present study was to assess the psychometric properties of the Brief Peer Conflict Scale-20 item version (PCS-20) among a Portuguese forensic sample (N = 192) of incarcerated male juvenile offenders ( M = 16.62 years; SD = 1.52 years; age range = 13-18 years). The PCS-20 demonstrated good psychometric properties in terms of its four-factor structure, internal consistency, convergent validity, and discriminant validity that generally justify its use among incarcerated male youth. The findings provide additional support for the extension of the PCS-20 across different cultures, ethnic groups, and samples.
