Resumo
A adolescência é um período de transição do desenvolvimento marcado por alterações potencialmente causadoras de dificuldades, podendo em alguns casos desencadear comportamentos agressivos. Algumas investigações têm frequentemente distinguido duas formas de agressão: reativa e proactiva. O objetivo do presente estudo foi confirmar as propriedades psicométricas do Questionário de Agressividade Reativa e Proactiva (Reactive: Proactive Agression Questionnaire – RPQ; Raine et al., 2006). A amostra foi constituída por 3448 adolescentes de ambos os sexos (51,8% do sexo feminino e 48,2% do sexo masculino), recolhida em diversas escolas do território nacional. Os sujeitos possuíam idades entre os 14 e 17 anos (M=15,03 anos, DP=1,71). Foi feita a Análise Fatorial Exploratória, que indicou a existência de dois fatores dentro do RPQ, contudo os resultados da Análise Fatorial Confirmatória não foram satisfatórios. Concluímos que, com exceção do qui-quadrado (χ²/g.l. = 21.771), provavelmente devido à grande dimensão da amostra, e da proporção da variância extraída na validade convergente referente à dimensão reativa tanto para a amostra total (0,330) como para o sexo masculino (0,353) e feminino (0,310), todos os valores surgem como aceitáveis.
Adolescence is a period of developmental transition marked by changes that are potentially causing difficulties, and in some cases may trigger aggressive behaviors. Some investigations have often distinguished two forms of aggression: reactive and proactive. The aim of the present study was to confirm the psychometric properties of the Reactive: Proactive Agression Questionnaire (RPQ; Raine et al., 2006). The sample consisted of 3448 adolescents of both sexes (51.8% female and 48.2% male), collected in several schools of the national territory. The subjects were between 14 and 17 years old (M = 15.03 years, SD = 1.71). Exploratory Factor Analysis was performed, which indicated the existence of two factors within the RPQ, however the results of the Confirmatory Factor Analysis were not satisfactory. We conclude that, with the exception of chi-square (χ² / gl = 21,771), probably due to the large sample size, and the proportion of the extracted variance in convergent validity regarding the reactive dimension for both the total sample (0.330) and gender. male (0.353) and female (0.310), all values appear to be acceptable.
