N2  - The psychometric properties of an Arabic version of the Aggression Questionnaire-Short Form (AQ-SF) were examined in 2 samples of Egyptian and Omani adolescents. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) revealed that the 4-factor model had adequate fit to the data of both samples, whereas the unidimensional and hierarchical models did not. Multigroup CFAs revealed culture invariance for the AQ-SF 4-factor model when the 2 samples were compared for each gender. The analysis also revealed gender invariance for the AQ-SF 4-factor model within the Omani sample. However, the analysis showed partial gender invariance for the AQ-SF 4-factor model within the Egyptian sample. A latent mean analysis showed consistent gender differences on Physical Aggression in the male direction when males and females were compared across and within both samples. The AQ-SF correlated positively and significantly with peer nominations but did not correlate with a measure of social desirability.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
