Hi there! I’m interested in learning more about the practical usage of Raine et al.’s Reactive-Proactive Aggression Questionnaire scale. Could you kindly provide me with additional information?

You’re welcome.

I appreciate the provided information. Thank you for sharing it.

It is a straightforward process. Youths are asked to rate the frequency of various aggressive behaviors using 3-point scales (ranging from 0 = never to 2 = often). These ratings are then averaged to create two subscales - proactive aggression (e.g., "Engaging in fights to assert dominance") and reactive aggression (e.g., "Feeling angry when threatened by others") - as well as a total score. It should be noted that the reactive and proactive subscales often show a strong correlation, leading to questions about the distinction between these two types of aggression. Additionally, it is important to assess the correlations and internal consistency of the subscales and total scale.
