“…First, we hypothesized that the two-factor model (reactive-proactive) would indicate a better fit than the one-factor model (general aggression) did in other cultures (Cima et al, 2013;Fossati et al, 2009;Fung et al, 2009;Seah and Ang, 2008;Pechorro et al, 2015;Raine et al, 2006). Second we hypothesized that while reactive aggression is positively associated with trait anger, anxiety, depression and hostility, proactive aggression is not as consistent with earlier studies (Card and Little, 2006;Raine et al, 2006;Fite et al, 2009;Vitaro et al, 2002).…”

“…However, gender differences in the reactive and proactive aggression are not clear enough. In some studies, it was determined that proactive aggression scores of males are higher than scores of girls, yet no significant gender difference was observed in reactive aggression (Andreu et al, 2009;Fung et al, 2009;Li and Fung, 2015). In other studies, it was determined that both proactive and reactive aggression scores of male are higher than scores of girls (Salmivalli and Nieminen, 2002;Uz Baş and Yurdabakan, 2012).…”

“…There are studies in favor of two-factor model comparing one-factor model of RPQ in many cultures (Cima et al, 2013;Fossati et al, 2009;Fung et al, 2009;Seah and Ang, 2008;Pechorro et al, 2015;Raine et al, 2006). Although, there are studies supporting cross-cultural generalizability of RPQ, there is limited available evidence for the validity of RPQ for the Turkish sample.…”

“…Fourth, we hypothesized that males would score higher than females, both in the reactive and proactive forms of aggression (Salmivalli and Nieminen, 2002). Last, we hypothesized that reactive and proactive aggression are greater in higher age adolescents when compared to children and early adolescents (Fung et al, 2009). …”

“…Similar situation is also seen in findings concerning the relationship of reactive and proactive aggression with age. Fung et al (2009) It is crucial to understand aggressive behavior in children and adolescents to know the different forms of aggressive behavior in order to demonstrate effective approaches for prevention and intervention, and to provide specific approaches to different forms of aggression (Raine et al, 2006). Indeed, clinical research indicates that different intervention programs are effective with different forms of aggression (Antonius et al, 2013;Swanson et al, 2008;.…”

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.

This study reports reliability and validity of the Dutch Reactive-Proactive Aggression Questionnaire (RPQ). In total, 845 participants completed the RPQ along with other measures of aggression. Groups consisted of non-offender participants, criminal offenders, youngsters (age 6-18), and adults (age above 18). Test-retest stability in a subsample of 324 childhood arrestees was good (all ICC's > 0.41). A confirmatory factor analysis supported the same two-factor structure as in the original RPQ. Convergent validity was adequate (all r's > 0.16). Moreover, results demonstrated that the proactive and reactive subscales were differentially related to measurements of callousness and impulsiveness, respectively. Criterion validity was shown in that non-offender subjects demonstrated significantly lower RPQ scores than offender samples. Finally, construct validity was demonstrated in that violent offenders showed higher aggression scores than non-violent offenders. Proactive aggression showed different developmental trajectories within non-offender versus criminal samples, indicating that this form of aggression may be more pathological.

Although low resting heart rate has been viewed as a well-replicated biological correlate of child and adolescent antisocial behavior, little is known about how it interacts with psychosocial adversity in predisposing to both reactive-proactive aggression and psychopathy, and whether this relationship generalizes to an East Asian population. This study tests the hypothesis that low resting heart rate will be associated with aggression and psychopathic traits, and that heart rate will interact with adversity in predisposing to these antisocial traits. Resting heart rate was assessed in 334 Hong Kong male and female schoolchildren aged 11-17 years. A social adversity index was calculated from a psychosocial interview of the parent, while parents assessed their children on the Reactive-Proactive Aggression Questionnaire and the Antisocial Personality Screening Device. Low resting heart rate was significantly associated with higher proactive aggression, impulsive features of psychopathy, and total child psychopathy. Low resting heart rate interacted with high psychosocial adversity in explaining higher reactive (but not proactive) aggression, as well as impulsive psychopathy. These findings provide support for a biosocial perspective of reactive aggression and impulsive psychopathy, and document low resting heart rate as a robust correlate of both childhood impulsive psychopathic behavior and proactive aggression. To our knowledge, this study is the first to document low resting heart rate as a correlate of child psychopathy and the second to establish low heart rate as a risk factor of antisocial behavior in an East Asian population. The findings provide further evidence for both low resting heart rate as a potential biomarker for childhood psychopathic and aggressive behavior, and also a biosocial perspective on childhood antisocial behavior.
