This study examined relations between proactive and reactive aggression and indicators of antisocial behavior (callous/unemotional traits and behavioral consequences) and negative affect (depression and suicidal behavior) in a sample of 105 children admitted to an acute child psychiatric inpatient unit. The majority of the children were male (69%) and ranged from 6 to 12 years of age (M = 9.61, SD = 1.83). Multiple regression analyses revealed that proactive aggression was a unique predictor of antisocial behavior but was not significantly related to negative affect. In contrast, reactive aggression was uniquely positively related to negative affect but unrelated to indicators of antisocial behavior. Findings support unique correlates for proactive and reactive aggression.
本研究在一个由105名入住急性儿童精神科住院部的儿童组成的样本中，考察了主动性攻击和反应性攻击与反社会行为指标（冷酷/无情特质和行为后果）以及消极情绪（抑郁和自杀行为）之间的关系。大多数儿童为男性（69%），年龄在6至12岁之间（M = 9.61，SD = 1.83）。多元回归分析显示，主动性攻击是反社会行为的一个独特预测因素，但与消极情绪无显著关联。相比之下，反应性攻击与消极情绪呈独特的正相关，但与反社会行为指标无关。研究结果支持主动性攻击和反应性攻击存在独特的相关因素。
