TY - JOUR PY - 1996// TI - Psychometric evaluation of the Dutch version of the Aggression Questionnaire JO - Behaviour research and therapy A1 - Meesters, C. A1 - Muris, P. A1 - Bosma, H. A1 - Schouten, E. A1 - Beuving, S. SP - 839 EP - 843 VL - 34 IS - 10 N2 - Confirmatory factor analyses were done in an attempt to replicate the factor structure of the Aggression Questionnaire constructed by Buss and Perry (1992) [Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 63, 452-459] in a Dutch sample. The findings indicated that the Buss and Perry 4-factor model provided a poor fit to the full 29-item questionnaire. Although generally confirming the 4-factor structure, subsequent analyses revealed that a better fit was obtained by omitting 3 items (1 Verbal Aggression and 2 Hostility items). In general, the present findings are rather similar to previous research and emphasize the importance of assessing not only overall aggression but also its separate components.
