Verbally aggressive messages attack an individual's self-concept to inflict psychological pain. Infante and Wigley developed a trait measure of Verbal aggressiveness; however, the psychometric qualities and validity of the Verbal Aggressiveness scale were not fully explored. In Study I, 119 targets (Mage = 46.2, SDage = 14.1) and 238 observers (Mage = 42.9, SD age = 14.4) participated. In Study II, 112 targets (Mage = 39.9, SDage = 12.9) and 236 observers (Mage = 37.7 SDage = 11.1) participated. In Study III, 153 college students participated (Mage = 25.9, SDage = 4.6). In these studies, temporal stability over two months, criterion-related validity (target-observer agreement), discriminant validity (employing structural equation models), and construct validity (correlations with the facet and domain scales of the NEO-Personality Inventory-R) were investigated. The results justify considering Verbal Aggressiveness as a personality trait and the Verbal Aggressiveness scale as a valid measure.
言语攻击性信息会攻击个体的自我概念以造成心理痛苦。英方特和威格利编制了一份言语攻击性的特质量表；然而，言语攻击性量表的心理测量学特性和效度并未得到充分探究。在研究一中，有119名目标对象（年龄均值=46.2，年龄标准差=14.1）和238名观察者（年龄均值=42.9，年龄标准差=14.4）参与。在研究二中，有112名目标对象（年龄均值=39.9，年龄标准差=12.9）和236名观察者（年龄均值=37.7，年龄标准差=11.1）参与。在研究三中，有153名大学生参与（年龄均值=25.9，年龄标准差=4.6）。在这些研究中，对两个月内的时间稳定性、效标关联效度（目标对象与观察者的一致性）、区分效度（采用结构方程模型）以及结构效度（与大五人格量表的层面和领域量表的相关性）进行了调查。研究结果证明将言语攻击性视为一种人格特质以及将言语攻击性量表视为一种有效测量工具是合理的。
