我们考察了攻击性研究的测量系统的有效性，该系统区分了攻击行为的四个主要维度：公开和关系型攻击(即“什么”)和工具性和反应性攻击(即“为什么”)。样本包括来自德国柏林的1723名青少年(5至10年级)。测量系统的内部效度得到了强有力的支持，揭示了攻击性的四个离散维度：两种压倒一切的形式(显性和关系性)和两种潜在功能(工具性和反应性)。标准相关效度的差异和独特模式有力地支持了不同结构之间的差异。我们讨论了在理解攻击性行为的发展过程中，解开这些维度的重要性。
We examined the validity of a measurement system for the study of aggression that distinguishes among four principle dimensions of aggressive behaviour: overt and relational aggression (i.e., the "whats") and instrumental and reactive aggression (i.e., the "whys"). The sample comprised 1723 adolescents (Grades 5 through 10) from Berlin, Germany. The internal validity of the measurement system was strongly supported, revealing four discrete dimensions of aggression: two overriding forms (overt and relational) and two underlying functions (instrumental and reactive). The differential and unique patterns of criterion-related validity strongly supported the distinctions among the constructs. The importance of disentangling these dimensions in understanding the development of aggressive behaviour is discussed.
