This study explored the relationships and differences among two measures of indirect aggression [Bjorkqvist et al., 1994; Richardson and Green, 1997] and one of relational aggression [Crick and Grotpeter, 1995]. Over 300 students (mean age 22.8 years; 61.5% female) from two colleges in the Southeastern United States completed measures of indirect and relational aggression and related constructs (e.g., empathy, anger expression, direct aggression). Although there were subtle differences among the three measures with regard to their relationships with associated variables, overall the patterns of relationships were similar as well as distinct from the pattern for direct aggression. Factor analysis of scores for measures of aggression revealed that the indirect and relational measures composed a single factor of nondirect aggression, separate from direct aggression. Further factor analysis of all unique items from the nondirect scales found the overall construct of nondirect aggression to comprise six distinct factors. Implications for applications and further research are discussed.
本研究探讨了两种间接攻击测量方法[Bjorkqvist 等人，1994 年；Richardson 和 Green，1997 年]和一种关系攻击测量方法[Crick 和 Grotpeter，1995 年]之间的关系和差异。来自美国东南部两所学院的 300 多名学生（平均年龄 22.8 岁；女性占 61.5%）完成了间接和关系攻击以及相关结构的测量（例如，同理心、愤怒表达、直接攻击）。尽管这三种测量方法在与相关变量的关系上存在细微差异，但总体关系模式与直接攻击的模式相似且不同。对攻击性测量得分的因子分析表明，间接和关系测量构成了非直接攻击性的单一因子，与直接攻击性分开。对非直接量表中所有独特项目的进一步因子分析发现，非直接攻击性的整体结构由六个不同的因素组成。讨论了应用和进一步研究的意义。
