This study examined the structure of a self-report measure of the forms and functions of aggression in 855 adolescents (582 boys, 266 girls) aged 12 to 19 years recruited from high school, detained, and residential settings. The Peer Conflict Scale (PCS) is a 40-item measure that was developed to improve upon existing measures and provide an efficient, reliable, and valid assessment of four dimensions of aggression (i.e., reactive overt, reactive relational, proactive overt, and proactive relational) in youths. Confirmatory factor analyses showed that a 4-factor model represented a satisfactory solution for the data. The factor structure fit well for both boys and girls and across high school, detained, and residential samples. Internal consistency estimates were good for the 4 factors, and they showed expected associations with externalizing variables (i.e., arrest history, callous-unemotional traits, and delinquency). Reactive and proactive subtypes showed unique associations consistent with previous literature. Implications for the use of the PCS to assess aggression and inform intervention decisions in diverse samples of youths are discussed.
本研究考察了一种自我报告的青少年攻击形式和功能量表在 855 名 12 至 19 岁青少年（582 名男孩，266 名女孩）中的结构，这些青少年来自高中、拘留所和寄宿机构。同伴冲突量表（PCS）是一种 40 项的测量工具，旨在改进现有的测量工具，并为青少年的四种攻击维度（即反应性攻击、反应性关系攻击、主动性攻击和主动性关系攻击）提供高效、可靠和有效的评估。验证性因素分析表明，四因素模型是数据的一个满意解。该因素结构在男孩和女孩以及高中、拘留所和寄宿样本中都表现良好。四个因素的内部一致性估计值较好，并且与外化变量（即被捕历史、冷酷无情特质和 delinquency）存在预期关联。反应性和主动性亚型表现出与先前文献一致的独特关联。讨论了使用 PCS 评估攻击行为并为不同样本的青少年提供干预决策的意义。
