Abstract

In recent decades, aggression has been divided into two subtypes as reactive and proactive. The purpose of the study was to examine the social cognitions and emotions that differentiate reactive and proactive aggression. Another pur- pose of the study was to examine whether the adolescents’ reactive and proactive aggression levels was related with anger and narcissism. Two hundred and seventy female and 236 male students filled out Reactive–Proactive Aggres- sion Questionnaire, Narcissistic Personality Questionnaire for Children, and The State-Trait Anger and Anger Ex- pression Scale. Also, to measure typical characteristics of reactive and proactive aggression four different vignettes were utilized. Results indicated that hostile attribution of intent and anger were related with reactive aggression. Perceived self-efficacy for aggression, positive outcome expectations for aggression, and feeling good after enact- ing aggression were associated with proactive aggression. Regression analysis examining the relationships between anger, narcissism and reactive-proactive aggression revealed that trait anger and anger out predicted reactive aggres- sion. It was also found that proactive aggression was positively associated with the exploitativeness dimension of the narcissism and negatively associated with the superiority.

Özet

Son yıllarda saldırganlık konusunda yapılan çalışmalar saldırganlığı reaktif ve proaktif olmak üzere ikak incelemektedir. Bu çalışmanın amaçlarından biri reaktif ve proaktif saldırganlığın ayırt edici bilişbileşenlerini test etmek, diğeri ise ergenlerin reaktif ve proaktif saldırganlık düzeylerinin, öfke vlişkili olup olmadığını incelemektir. Bu amaçla 270 kız, 236 erkek öğrenciye Reaktif-Proaktif SaldıÇocuklar için Narsisistik Kişilik Ölçeği ve Sürekli Öfke ve Öfke İfade Tarzı Ölçeği uygulanmıştır. Aproaktif saldırganlığın tipik özelliklerini incelemek için dört farklı senaryo kullanılmıştır. Bulgular dyükleme ve öfkenin reaktif saldırganlık ile, saldırgan davranma konusunda kendini yeterli görme, sonolacağını düşünme ve iyi hissetmenin ise proaktif saldırganlık ile ilişkili olduğunu göstermiştir. Öfkeeaktif ve proaktif saldırganlık ile ilişkisini incelemek amacı ile yapılan regresyon analizleri sürekyönelik öfkenin reaktif saldırganlığı yordadığını göstermiştir. Proaktif saldırganlık ise narsisizmin le pozitif yönde ilişkili iken üstünlük boyutu ile negatif yönde ilişkili bulunmuştur.
