    This study explored the relationships and differences among two measures of indirect aggression [Bjorkqvist et al., 1994; Richardson and Green, 1997] and one of relational aggression [Crick and Grotpeter, 1995]. Over 300 students (mean age 22.8 years; 61.5% female) from two colleges in the Southeastern United States completed measures of indirect and relational aggression and related constructs (e.g., empathy, anger expression, direct aggression)…

    Open AccessJuliette Richetin, Deborah South Richardson et al.ARTICLEAggressive Behavior2011Cited by: 1References: 50

    The central aim of this article is to investigate the relationship between prevolitional processes and aggressive behavior.

A model of attitude, the Extended Model of Goal-directed Behavior, was tested with structural equation models to analyze the process that leads to the verbally aggressive behavior of calling someone names. Results showed that Goal Desire was…

  • Predictive Validity of IAT Aggressiveness in the Context of Provocation

    Juliette Richetin, Deborah South Richardson et al.ARTICLESocial Psychology2010Cited by: 3References: 41

    This study examines the extent to which implicit measures of aggressiveness predict actual aggressive behavior in response to provocation. Participants (n = 77) completed implicit measures of aggressiveness, were or were not exposed to insult from an experimenter, evaluated the performance of the experimenter (i.e., opportunity for aggressive behavior), and completed explicit measures of aggressiveness. Results showed that the implicit measure of…

  • Measuring Direct and Indirect Aggression: Is There a Response Bias

    Open AccessMat Gregoski, Wendi Malone et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports2005

    Critics of self-report methods suggest that participants are likely to underreport their own negative behaviors given concerns about social desirability. The current study examined the problem of self-report bias by comparing individuals' estimates of their own and others' aggressive behavior. Undergraduate students (95 women, 50 men) completed the Richardson Conflict Response Questionnaire with regard to either their own behavior or that of anot…

  • The Myth of Female Passivity: Thirty Years of Revelations about Female Aggression

    Open AccessDeborah South RichardsonARTICLEPsychology of Women Quarterly2005Cited by: 13References: 6

    This article reviews an extensive program of research that has examined gender differences in aggressive behavior. Early research in the aggression laboratory that was designed to explain why females were nonaggressive actually revealed that females did respond to provocation and that they could not accurately be depicted as passive individuals. Subsequent studies that examined both indirect and direct aggression revealed that women were at least…

  • Agreeableness as a predictor of aggression in adolescence

    Open AccessKatie A Gleason, Lauri A Jensen‐campbell et al.ARTICLEAggressive Behavior2004Cited by: 10References: 51

    This multi‐method research linked the Big Five personality dimensions to aggression in early adolescence. Agreeableness was the personality dimension of focus because this dimension is associated with motives to maintain positive interpersonal relations. In two studies, middle school children were assessed on the Big Five domains of personality. Study 1 showed that agreeableness was associated with both indirect and direct aggression. In addition…

A series of multilevel random coefficient analyses found that life satisfaction scores were positively related to how enjoyable interactions were, how self‐assured people felt when int…
