儿童时期的攻击行为长期以来被分为主动的攻击行为和被动的攻击行为。我们报告了对现有经验文献的元分析综述，这些文献考察了每种类型的攻击与心理社会适应的六个指数之间的关系：内在化问题、情绪失调和ADHD类型症状、犯罪行为、亲社会行为、社交地位和同伴受害。尽管在大多数单独的研究中没有发现，但元分析组合显示，反应性攻击与大多数适应指数的相关性比主动性攻击更强。然而，这种差异很小，我们认为，检测差异相关性的困难是由于攻击功能之间的高度相关性，这似乎是传统测量程序的一种人工制品。建议今后的研究使用对这些功能提供不同评估的措施，以便更清楚地区分主动性攻击和反应性攻击的相关性。
Aggressive behavior in childhood has long been separated into that which is proactively motivated and that which is reactive. We report a meta-analytic review of the existing empirical literature that examines the associations of each type of aggression with six indices of psychosocial adjustment: internalizing problems, emotional dysregulation and ADHD-type symptoms, delinquent behaviors, prosocial behavior, sociometric status, and peer victimization. Even though not detectable in most single studies, meta-analytic combination revealed that reactive aggression was more strongly related to most of the indices of adjustment than was proactive aggression. This difference was small, however, and we argue that the difficulty in detecting differential correlates is due to the high intercorrelation between the functions of aggression, which appears to be an artifact of traditional measurement procedures. It is recommended that future research use measures that provide distinct assessment of the functions in order to more clearly distinguish the correlates of proactive and reactive aggression.
