| Abstract: | The current study investigated the patterns of aggressive behavior displayed in a sample of 282 students in the 4th through
7th grades (M age = 11.28; SD = 1.82). Using cluster analyses, two distinct patterns of physical aggression emerged for both
boys and girls with one aggressive cluster showing mild levels of reactive aggression and one group showing high levels of
both reactive and proactive aggression. Both aggressive clusters showed problems with anger dysregulation, impulsivity, thrill
and adventure seeking, positive outcome expectancies for aggression, and higher rates of bullying. However, the combined cluster
was most severe on all of these variables and only the combined aggressive group differed from non-aggressive students on
their level of callous-unemotional traits. Similar patterns of findings emerged for relational aggression but only for girls. |
