A personalidade agressiva nos pré-adolescentes: um estudo empírico

Abstract

Discusses situational and personality variables as determinants of aggressive behavior and presents an empirical, correlational study of the personality components of aggressive behavior in adolescent boys of 10-12 years old. The results show that aggressive boys differ from non-aggressive ones in three from the fourteen factors of Cattell’s Children Personality Questionnaire: the exhibit more over behavior, take more risks, are less empathetic and socially more dominant than non-aggressive ones.
