| description | The Forms and Functions of Aggression Questionnaire (Little, Jones, Henrich, & Hawley, 2003)
is widely used to measure the aggressive behavior in the peer context by many researchers. It
measures both overt and relational aggression, as well as two functions of aggressive behavior:
reactive and instrumental. However, it focuses on the aggressive behavior in the peer setting, but
not in the sibling context. The aim of this study was to adapt this scale in the sibling context.
Respondents were 384 primary school students aged 10 to 12 years old who agreed to
participate and met the inclusion criteria completed both measurements (The Forms and
Functions of Aggression Questionnaire, and Sibling Inventory of Differential Experience).
Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed a second-order model with three subdomains (pure
relational aggression, reactive-relational aggression, and instrumental-relational aggression).
Moderate and significant predictive validity was found. In sum, the Forms and Functions of
Aggression Questionnaire is considered a suitable measure to be used in the sibling context with
acceptable validity and reliability indices. |
