    En el presente estudio desarrollamos un cuestionario para evaluar las conductas agresivas que fue administrado a una muestra de 318 adolescentes. El cuestionario estaba formado por seis situaciones (tres relacionadas con desconocidos y tres con familiares) y siete posibles comportamientos (relacionados con agresividad física, verbal o ira). Los datos así obtenidos fueron analizados utilizando análisis de componentes principales de tres vías. 127 participantes además completaron cuestionarios tradicionales relacionados con agresividad e impulsividad. Los resultados mostraron las dos dimensiones esperadas de situación y las tres de respuesta. Finalmente se obtuvieron cinco dimensiones latentes de individuo que fueron relacionadas con los cuestionarios tradicionales de agresividad e impulsividad.

    We developed a questionnaire for measuring aggressive behavios, which was administered to a sample of 318 adolescents. The questionnaire consisted of six situations (three related to unknown people and three related to relatives) and seven possible behaviors (related to physical and verbal aggression and to anger). The corresponding person × situation × response data were analyzed using a three-mode component analysis. Furthermore, 127 participants also completed standard questionnaires related to aggressive behavior and impulsivity. Results showed the expected two latent dimensions for situations and three latent dimensions for responses were appropriate. In addition we found five latent dimensions for persons. The relationships between these five dimensions and standard questionnaires of aggression and impulsivity are discussed.
