Reactive aggression is characterized by high emotional activation, impulsivity, and hostility, while proactive aggression presents a cold, instrumental, and planned strategy. The aim was to perform a psychometric analysis of the Reactive-Proactive Aggression Questionnaire [RPQ]. A non-probability sample of 502 people between 18 and 40 years old was formed, grouped by sex (=297, 59.2% women and =205, 40.8% men) and age ( = 224, 44.62% under 25 years old and =278, 55.38% over 25 years old). The instruments were the RPQ, the Anger Rumination Scale (ARS), and an affective scale (PANAS) in printed format. In this instrumental psychometric study, we found that the RPQ fits better in a model of two factors interrelated with residual covariances (CFI = .928, RMSEA = .044), presenting significant correlations with negative affect and anger rumination, as evidence of validity of concurrent criterion, especially with reactive aggression (anger rumination = .542, and negative affect = .359). Also, the test was not invariant between sexes and ages, given that the best fit was in the male sex and those under 25 years of age (∆CFI < 0.01, ∆RMSEA < 0.015). We concluded that women and adults over the age of 25 have a different aggressive response profile. These findings represent new directions of research around the measurement of aggressive behavior and the development of gender differentiated interventions for adolescents and young adults.
反应性攻击行为的特征是情绪高度激活、冲动性和敌意，而主动性攻击行为则表现为一种冷酷、工具性和计划性的策略。目的是对反应性-主动性攻击问卷[RPQ]进行心理测量分析。选取了502名年龄在18至40岁之间的非概率样本，按性别分组（女性=297人，占59.2%；男性=205人，占40.8%）和年龄分组（25岁以下=224人，占44.62%；25岁以上=278人，占55.38%）。使用的工具包括RPQ、愤怒沉思量表（ARS）和一个印刷版的情感量表（PANAS）。在这项工具性心理测量研究中，我们发现RPQ在一个与残差协方差相关的双因素模型中拟合得更好（CFI = 0.928，RMSEA = 0.044），与消极情绪和愤怒沉思存在显著相关性，作为同时效度标准的证据，特别是与反应性攻击行为相关（愤怒沉思 = 0.542，消极情绪 = 0.359）。此外，该测试在性别和年龄之间并非不变，因为最佳拟合出现在男性和25岁以下的人群中（∆CFI < 0.01，∆RMSEA < 0.015）。我们得出结论，25岁以上的女性和成年人具有不同的攻击反应模式。这些发现代表了围绕攻击行为测量以及针对青少年和年轻人的性别差异化干预措施发展的新研究方向。
