Extraversion, neuroticism and different aspects of self-reported aggression.

Sixty-two male, and 57 female university students were administered tests of extraversion, neuroticism and aggression. Different forms of aggression were found to have different personality correlates, and the correlation matrices of the male and female samples were largely dissimilar. The direction of sex differences in subtest scores seemed to depend on the type of aggression measured. Socioeconomic class was not significantly related to any of the aggression scales.
