The purpose of our investigation was to study gender differences in proactive and reactive aggression in a sample of 323 clinically referred children and adolescents (68 females and 255 males). Proactive aggression and reactive aggression were assessed using the Proactive/Reactive Aggression Scale. Demographic, historical, family, diagnostic, and treatment variables were entered into stepwise regression analyses to determine correlates of proactive and reactive aggression in males and females. Results reveal high rates of aggression in both males and females in the sample. Self reported drug use, expressed hostility, and experiences of maladaptive parenting were correlated with proactive aggression for both genders. Hyperactive/impulsive behaviors were correlated with male reactive aggression. An early age of traumatic stress and a low verbal IQ were correlated with female proactive aggression. Gender differences in correlates of proactive and reactive aggression may provide possible targets for research, prevention, and treatment efforts focused on reducing maladaptive aggression in clinically referred youth.
我们调查的目的是在323名临床转诊的儿童和青少年样本（68名女性和255名男性）中研究主动攻击和反应性攻击中的性别差异。使用主动/反应性攻击量表评估主动攻击和反应性攻击。将人口统计学、病史、家庭、诊断和治疗变量纳入逐步回归分析，以确定男性和女性主动攻击和反应性攻击的相关因素。结果显示样本中男性和女性的攻击率都很高。自我报告的药物使用、表达的敌意和适应不良养育经历与两性的主动攻击都相关。多动/冲动行为与男性的反应性攻击相关。创伤应激的早期年龄和低语言智商与女性的主动攻击相关。主动攻击和反应性攻击相关因素中的性别差异可能为旨在减少临床转诊青少年适应不良攻击行为的研究、预防和治疗努力提供可能的目标。
