Article Synopsis
- - Researchers are looking for short surveys that are still accurate for measuring aggression in various study contexts.
- - The 12-item Brief Aggression Questionnaire (BAQ) consists of four subscales: Physical Aggression, Verbal Aggression, Anger, and Hostility, and has been tested for reliability and validity across three studies involving 1,279 participants.
- - Findings indicate that the BAQ is reliable over time, effectively captures differences in aggressive behaviors, and aligns with other established measures of anger and aggression, showcasing its potential usefulness in research.
A key problem facing aggression research is how to measure individual differences in aggression accurately and efficiently without sacrificing reliability or validity. Researchers are increasingly demanding brief measures of aggression for use in applied settings, field studies, pretest screening, longitudinal, and daily diary studies. The authors selected the three highest loading items from each of the Aggression Questionnaire's (Buss & Perry, 1992) four subscales--Physical Aggression, Verbal Aggression, anger, and hostility--and developed an efficient 12-item measure of aggression--the Brief Aggression Questionnaire (BAQ).
