| Summary: |
Delimiting adolescent aggression: A differential study of patterns of reactive and
proactive aggression. Aggressive behaviour is a complex phenomenon that covers,
under the same label, different behaviours which will differ in many ways. This
diversity has led to propose a number of classification models among which it must be
underlined the differentiation between reactive aggression, considered a defensive
reaction to a particular event, and proactive aggression, defined by its instrumental,
deliberate and offensive nature. In order to analyse the correlates of reactive and
proactive aggression, this study has examined their relationship with a set of variables
analysed in a sample of 138 participants (aged 12 to 17). The results showed a pattern of
differential correlations, and allowed to delimit the phenomenon of adolescent
aggressive behaviour. These results justify the distinction between reactive aggression,
related to impulsivity, internalizing problems and lower social competence level, and
proactive aggression, characterized by lower levels of anxiety or neuroticism, and
greater presence of psychopathic traits. |
