“…The Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire ( Buss and Perry, 1992 ) conceptualizes human aggression as a 4-factor model, including physical aggression, verbal aggression, anger, and hostility. The 29-item Aggression Questionnaire has been validated in aggressive populations ( Gallagher and Ashford, 2016 ).…”

BackgroundThe influence of genetic variation on resting-state neural networks represents a burgeoning line of inquiry in psychiatric research. Monoamine oxidase A, an X-linked gene, is one example of a molecular target linked to brain activity in psychiatric illness. Monoamine oxidase A genetic variants, including the high and low variable nucleotide tandem repeat polymorphisms, have been shown to differentially affect brain functional connectivity in healthy humans. However, it is currently unknown whether these same polymorphisms influence resting-state brain activity in clinical conditions. Given its high burden on society and strong connection to violent behavior, antisocial personality disorder is a logical condition to study, since in vivo markers of monoamine oxidase A brain enzyme are reduced in key affect-modulating regions, and striatal levels of monoamine oxidase A show a relation with the functional connectivity of this same region.MethodsWe utilized monoamine oxidase A genotyping and seed-to-voxel-based functional connectivity to investigate the relationship between genotype and corticostriatal connectivity in 21 male participants with severe antisocial personality disorder and 19 male healthy controls.ResultsDorsal striatal connectivity to the frontal pole and anterior cingulate gyrus differentiated antisocial personality disorder subjects and healthy controls by monoamine oxidase A genotype. Furthermore, the linear relationship of proactive aggression to superior ventral striatal-angular gyrus functional connectivity differed by monoamine oxidase A genotype in the antisocial personality disorder groups.ConclusionsThese results suggest that monoamine oxidase A genotype may affect corticostriatal connectivity in antisocial personality disorder and that these functional connections may also underlie use of proactive aggression in a genotype-specific manner.

ObjectiveSeveral dimensions have received attention for their potential role in explaining shared variance in transdiagnostic symptoms of psychopathology. We hypothesized emotion‐related impulsivity, the trait‐like tendency toward difficulty restraining responses to emotion, would relate to symptoms of psychopathology, with two separable dimensions of emotion‐related impulsivity relating distinctly to internalizing and externalizing symptoms.MethodAcross two studies, we tested hypotheses using structural equation models of emotion‐related impulsivity and multiple indicators of internalizing, externalizing, and thought symptoms.ResultsIn Study 1 (658 undergraduates), emotion‐related impulsivity was highly correlated with the general psychopathology (p) factor. In study 2 (421 Mechanical Turk participants), models did not support a general p factor; however, we replicated the hypothesized associations of emotion‐related impulsivity dimensions with internalizing and externalizing factors. Across both studies, forms of emotion‐related impulsivity uniquely and differentially related to internalizing and externalizing symptoms.ConclusionsFindings indicate emotion‐related impulsivity may help explain transdiagnostic dimensions of psychopathology, such as the p factor.

“…This scale was subsequently administered to undergraduate student participants, yielding a four factor structure via factor analysis. Dozens of other studies have adopted this measure, often replicating the questionnaire's psychometric properties in clinical, forensic, and cross-cultural samples (e.g., Ando et al, 1999;Diamond et al, 2005;Gallagher & Ashford, 2016;García-León et al, 2002;Gerevich et al, 2007). As evidenced by the fact that the seminal paper has been cited over 9,500 times (Google Scholar; as of March 31, 2023), the Buss-Perry model has risen to dominate the field of trait aggression.…”

Objective: Measures and models of trait aggression have multiplied to the point of incoherence. We sought to factor analyze a broad array of aggression measures to identify a comprehensive, coherent factor structure for this construct.Method: In Study 1, a diverse sample of 922 undergraduates completed a battery of items acquired from 42 self-report aggression questionnaires. In Study 2, we administered a curated item pool to another diverse sample of 1,447 undergraduates, alongside criterion measures.Results: We curated an initial item pool of 734 items down to 289 items that exhibited sufficient variability, were not redundant with other items, and possessed strong loadings onto a central ‘trait aggression’ factor. These remaining items were best characterized by a six factor structure, which captured Relational, Angry, Violent, Retaliatory, Intimate Partner, and Alcohol forms of aggression. We estimated their hierarchical structure, correlations with parent scales, Five Factor Model trait dimensions, impulsivity facets, and found them to be robust to gender composition and the inclusion of alcohol-naive and intimate-partner-naive participants.Conclusions: This factor structure mostly supported widely-accepted models of aggressive personality that focus on its overt and relational forms and reactive functions, though proactive aggression only loosely emerged as a distinct entity. We retained the final items as the Comprehensive Aggression Scale (CAS).
