More research is needed to improve measurement selection and to better understand informant differences in reports of reactive and proactive aggression.
Toward this goal, the current study evaluated the psychometrics (i.e., reliability, factor structure, and validity) and correlates of two measures of reactive and proactive aggression (i.e., Dodge & Coie, in J Pers Soc Psychol 53:1146, 1987; Raine et al. in Aggress Behav 32:15-171, 2006) across three informants (i.e., parent, teacher, and youth).
Parent, teacher and youth reports of measures were collected in a community recruited sample of 9-12 year-old youth ( = 10.44; 56% male).
Both measures demonstrated adequate to good internal consistency by parent- and teacher-report, and borderline to adequate internal consistency by youth-report. Additionally, aggression subscales were correlated within and across measures and informants, and an appropriate 2-factor structure was identified for both measures across informants. Consistent with prior research, reactive aggression was more robustly associated with depression symptoms and effortful control than proactive aggression across measures, but there were some links with proactive aggression.
Overall findings suggest that both measures are psychometrically appropriate to use with parents, teachers, and youth. However, there were distinctions between the two measures, and relying solely on youth reports in this age group is not recommended. Further, there are unique associations evident with various informants, supporting the need for multiple informants when assessing functions of aggression in youth.
需要更多研究来改进测量方法的选择，并更好地理解在反应性攻击和主动性攻击报告中信息提供者之间的差异。
为了实现这一目标，本研究评估了两种反应性和主动性攻击测量方法（即Dodge和Coie，发表于《人格与社会心理学杂志》，1987年，第53卷，第1146页；Raine等人，发表于《攻击行为》，2006年，第32卷，第15 - 171页）在三位信息提供者（即父母、教师和青少年）中的心理测量学特性（即信度、因子结构和效度）及其相关因素。
在一个从社区招募的9至12岁青少年样本（平均年龄 = 10.44岁；56%为男性）中收集了父母、教师和青少年对这些测量方法的报告。
两种测量方法在父母和教师报告中显示出足够到良好的内部一致性，在青少年报告中显示出临界到足够的内部一致性。此外，攻击性子量表在测量方法之间、信息提供者之间以及跨测量方法和信息提供者之间都存在相关性，并且为两种测量方法在所有信息提供者中确定了合适的双因子结构。与先前的研究一致，在所有测量方法中，反应性攻击比主动性攻击与抑郁症状和努力控制的关联更强，但主动性攻击也存在一些联系。
总体研究结果表明，这两种测量方法在心理测量学上适用于父母、教师和青少年。然而，这两种测量方法之间存在差异，不建议仅依赖该年龄组青少年的报告。此外，不同信息提供者之间存在明显的独特关联，这支持在评估青少年攻击功能时需要多个信息提供者。
