TY - JOUR PY - 2010// TI - Aggressive responses to troubled situations in a sample of adolescents: a three-mode approach JO - Spanish journal of psychology A1 - Lorenzo-Seva, Urbano A1 - Morales-Vives, Fabia A1 - Vigil-Colet, Andreu SP - 178 EP - 189 VL - 13 IS - 1 N2 - We developed a questionnaire for measuring aggressive behaviors, which was administered to a sample of 318 adolescents. The questionnaire consisted of six situations (three related to unknown people and three related to relatives) and seven possible behaviors (related to physical and verbal aggression and to anger). The corresponding person x situation x response data were analyzed using a three-mode component analysis. Furthermore, 127 participants also completed standard questionnaires related to aggressive behavior and impulsivity. Results showed the expected two latent dimensions for situations and three latent dimensions for responses were appropriate. In addition we found five latent dimensions for persons. The relationships between these five dimensions and standard questionnaires of aggression and impulsivity are discussed.
