    Las propiedades psicométricas de la versión española del cuestionario de agresión de Buss y Perry adaptado a jóvenes se han publicado recientemente (Personality and Individual Differences, 42, 1453-1465). La estructura tetra-dimensional del cuestionario fue confirmada tanto con la muestra de preadolescentes como con la de adolescentes, aunque se observaron algunas diferencias entre ambos grupos de edad en las magnitudes de las inter-correlaciones entre los 4 factores. En este trabajo se aportan nuevas evidencias de la validez factorial de este cuestionario con la muestra conjunta de jóvenes, adolescentes y preadolescentes. También se muestran las correlaciones positivas encontradas entre las mediciones obtenidas con el AQ-PA y las obtenidas con otros cuestionarios y escalas que miden agresión e ira (DIAS, STAXI y EXPAGG), así como con las obtenidas administrando la escala de impulsividad de Barratt (BIS-11), proporcionándose mas evidencias de su validez convergente. También se incluye el texto completo de la versión en español del cuestionario, adaptado a preadolescentes y adolescentes.

    We have already published the psychometric properties of our Spanish version of the Buss and Perry's Aggression Questionnaire adapted to young subjects (Personality and Individual Differences, 42, 1453-1465). The four-dimensional structure of the questionnaire was confirmed in each pre-adolescent and adolescent sample, although differences in the inter-correlations among factors between both groups of age were then observed. We publish now new evidences about its factorial validity in the whole group of pre-adolescent and adolescent children. We also report the positive correlations found between measurements obtained with this questionnaire (AQ-PA) and other aggression and anger scales (DIAS, STAXI and EXPAGG) and the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS-11), which provide more evidences about its convergent validity. The text of the Spanish version of this questionnaire adapted to pre-adolescent and adolescent subjects is also reported.
