本研究检验了主动性攻击和反应性攻击是否对以后的外化问题有不同的预测作用，如犯罪和DSM相关的破坏性行为(即对立违抗和品行障碍)。它还测试了这两种类型的攻击行为在预测外化问题时是否存在交互作用。低社会经济地位男孩的社区样本参与了这项研究。在男孩12岁时，老师对主动性和反应性攻击性进行了评分。青少年犯罪、对立障碍和品行障碍在青春期中期被评估。主动性攻击而不是反应性攻击预示着犯罪和破坏性行为。此外，高水平的反应性攻击性削弱了主动性攻击性和犯罪之间的联系。然而，反应性攻击并没有缓和主动攻击和破坏性行为之间的联系。我们认为，反应性攻击和主动性攻击是两种不同类型的攻击行为，具有不同的预测能力。我们还对目前的发现做出了尝试性的解释。
This study tested whether proactive and reactive aggression were differently predictive of later externalizing problems such as delinquency and DSM-related disruptive behaviors (i.e. oppositional defiant and conduct disorders). It also tested whether these two subtypes of aggressive behaviors interacted in predicting externalizing problems. A community sample of low SES boys participated in the study. Proactive and reactive aggression were rated by teachers when boys were 12 years old. Delinquency, oppositional disorders, and conduct disorders were assessed during mid-adolescence. Proactive but not reactive aggression predicted delinquency and disruptive behaviors. Moreover, high levels of reactive aggression weakened the link between proactive aggression and delinquency. Reactive aggression, however, did not moderate the link between proactive aggression and disruptive behaviors. We conclude that reactive and proactive aggression are two distinct types of aggressive behaviors with different predictive abilities. We also offer tentative explanations to account for the present findings.
