我们的目标是开发一种适合年龄的早期侵略表现的措施。我们设计了一份关于规范性发展里程碑的问卷，其中包括一组测量婴儿对人使用身体力量和表达愤怒的项目。这些项目包括卡迪夫婴儿知足量表（CICS）。CICS的可靠性和有效性的证据提供了一个样本的分析N=310英国婴儿，评估平均年龄为6个月的一部分，一个更大的纵向研究的发展侵略。被调查者的CICS评分显示出合理的内部一致性和评分者之间的一致性。通过观察婴儿对汽车座椅约束的痛苦反应来验证告密者的评级。纵向分析显示，随着时间的推移，争吵是稳定的，在6个月的争吵预测婴儿以后使用武力与同龄人。当与其他方法一起使用时，简单的四项CICS量表可以作为人类婴儿攻击性早期表现的有用筛选。Agr.行为举止。36：351-357，2010.

Our aim was to develop an age-appropriate measure of early manifestations of aggression. We constructed a questionnaire about normative developmental milestones into which a set of items measuring infants' use of physical force against people and expressed anger were included. These items comprise the Cardiff Infant Contentiousness Scale (CICS). Evidence for the reliability and validity of the CICS is provided from analyses of a sample of N=310 British infants, assessed at a mean age of 6 months as part of a larger longitudinal study of the development of aggression. The informants' CICS ratings demonstrated reasonable levels of internal consistency and interrater agreement. Informants' ratings were validated by observations of infants' distress in response to restraint in a car seat. Longitudinal analyses revealed that contentiousness was stable over time and that contentiousness at 6 months predicted infants' later use of force with peers. When used in the company of other methods, the simple four-item CICS scale could serve as a useful screen for early manifestations of aggressiveness in human infants. Aggr. Behav. 36:351-357, 2010.
