This study investigated the role of executive function in relation to aggression in a sample of children (N = 93) aged 9 to 15 years. Based on parent ratings of aggression, the sample was divided into low- (n = 66) and high- (n = 27) aggression groups. Although the groups did not differ significantly on laboratory measures of executive function, significant differences emerged on behavioral regulation and metacognition ratings by parents. Notably, a high level of behavioral dysregulation was predictive of placement in the high-aggression group; both good metacognitive skills and behavior regulation served as significant predictors of prosocial and adaptive skills.
本研究调查了9至15岁儿童样本（N = 93）中执行功能与攻击行为之间的关系。根据家长对攻击行为的评分，样本被分为低攻击组（n = 66）和高攻击组（n = 27）。尽管两组在执行功能的实验室测量上没有显著差异，但在家长对行为调节和元认知的评分上出现了显著差异。值得注意的是，高水平的行为失调可预测其被归入高攻击组；良好的元认知技能和行为调节都是亲社会和适应技能的重要预测因素。
