Aggressive behavior is a growing problem across many contexts. Thus, searching for its predictors is important. The aim of the current study was to analyze the moderator effect of mentalization in the relationship between impulsiveness and both verbal and physical aggressive behavior, using a sample of 583 participants gathered from the general Spanish population (M = 34.60, SD = 12.99). In our sample, 182 were male and 401 were female. The results showed significant bivariate relationships among aggression, impulsiveness, and mentalization. Moderation structural equation modeling (MSEM) showed a significant moderation effect, so whereas the value of mentalization is not relevant in cases of people with low impulsiveness, high mentalization abilities allow those people with high impulsiveness to behave less aggressively than people with high impulsiveness and low mentalization abilities. Practical implications and limitations of the study are discussed.
攻击性行为在许多情境中都是一个日益严重的问题。因此，寻找其预测因素很重要。本研究的目的是，以从西班牙普通人群中收集的583名参与者为样本（M = 34.60，SD = 12.99），分析心理化在冲动性与言语和身体攻击性行为之间关系中的调节作用。在我们的样本中，182名是男性，401名是女性。结果显示攻击、冲动和心理化之间存在显著的双变量关系。调节结构方程模型（MSEM）显示出显著的调节作用，因此，对于冲动性较低的人来说，心理化的价值并不相关，而高心理化能力使那些高冲动性的人比高冲动性和低心理化能力的人表现出更少的攻击性。本文讨论了该研究的实际意义和局限性。
