“…Aggression Scale (AS, Orpinas và Frankowski, 2001) [42]: The AS comprises 11 items that assess aggressive general overt aggressive behaviours physically and verbally (e.g., 'I pushed or shoved other students, or 'I called other students bad names'), and anger (e.g., 'I got angry very easily with someone') in the last seven days, using a seven-point rating scale ranging from 0 (0 times) to 6 (6 or more times). The AS has been culturally adapted in Vietnamese children with sufficient reliability [43]. In this study, the AS showed good internal consistencies (α = .79), M = 11.95; SD = 9.96.…”

“…The Vietnamese Aggression Scale (VAS) was used to assess general aggressive behaviors regarding physical aggression (4 items, such as “I slapped or kicked someone” or “I threatened to hurt or to hit someone”), verbal aggression (5 items, such as “I said things about other kids to make other students laugh”, or “I encouraged other students to fight”) and anger (2 items, such as ‘I got angry very easily with someone,’ or ‘I was angry most of the day’ in the last seven days. 71 The physical aggression subscale includes items related to physical violence, while the verbal aggression subscale includes items related to verbal aggression, such as insulting and threatening behavior. The questionnaire was scored on a seven-point Likert scale ranging from 0 (0 times) to 6 (6 or more times).…”

Purpose This study aims to reveal the relationship between personality characteristics and verbal or physical aggression in Vietnamese adolescents. Patients and Methods We recruited 3003 participants [1498 boys (49.9%) and 1505 girls (50.1%); mean age ± SD = 13.50 ± 0.936] who we tested with the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire - Brief version (EPQ-BV), and Vietnamese Aggression Scale (VAS). A multivariate analysis of variance test, Pearson Correlation, and analyzing mediating variable interaction is used to analyze data. Results The findings suggested a significant interaction between personality traits, specifically extraversion and neuroticism, and physical aggression, verbal aggression, and anger. Students with higher levels of personality had higher levels of verbal aggression, and students with higher levels of physical aggression and anger had stronger personality traits than others and lower levels of physical aggression and anger. Personality traits, specifically extraversion, and neuroticism, differed significantly by gender and school years in adolescence. Mediation analysis revealed a positive and statistically significant indirect correlation between personality traits and physically aggressive behavior, with anger as a mediator. Similarly, a positive and statistically significant indirect correlation between personality traits and verbally aggressive behavior through anger was found. The relationship between personality traits and physical aggression was also significant via verbal aggression and anger. Conclusion This study improved our understanding of personality traits and verbal or physical aggression. Most crucially, physical and verbal aggression mediate personality traits and aggressive conduct. In secondary school, gender and school year affected extraversion and neuroticism. This discovery illuminates personality-based aggressiveness intervention.

“…A sample item is “I slapped or kicked someone.” Mean scores (range = 0-6) were calculated, with high scores indicating high level of overt aggressive behavior. The AS was translated into Vietnamese and validated in a Vietnamese adolescent sample (Vu, Petry, & Bosmans, 2019). According to Vu, Petry, and Bosmans (2019), the Vietnamese version of the AS can be used as a single scale measure, with a total score reflecting the occurrence of overt aggressive behavior in Vietnamese adolescents.…”

“…Factor analyses supported the use of only two of the subscales of the ABRA, which were the Aggression Legitimate (eight items) and the Aggression Pays (five items). The two subscales’ validity has been established in Vietnamese adolescents (Vu, Petry, et al, 2019). Items of both scales are presented on a 4-point rating scale, ranging from 1 ( don’t agree at all ) to 4 ( completely agree ).…”

In Vietnam, school violence is a serious problem; yet, little is known about the factors explaining this phenomenon. The current study looked at the role of normative beliefs approving aggression in the development of overt aggressive behavior. Using a short-term longitudinal design with three waves (4-month interval), this study examined the associations between normative beliefs approving aggression and overt aggressive behavior in a sample of Vietnamese adolescents. The sample included 632 participants at Wave 1 (51.4% boys, [Formula: see text] age = 13.00 years, SD = 0.85 years), 567 participants at Wave 2 (50.8% boys, [Formula: see text] age = 13.36 years, SD = 0.90 years), and 530 participants at Wave 3 (49.8% boys, [Formula: see text] age = 13.62 years, SD = 0.87 years). All variables were measured using a self-report questionnaire. Within waves, normative beliefs approving aggression were positively related to overt aggressive behavior. More importantly, cross-lagged panel analysis revealed that the normative beliefs predicted increases in overt aggressive behavior over time.
