TY - JOUR PY - 2006// TI - Study on the relations between temperament, aggression, and anger in children JO - Aggressive behavior A1 - Ortiz, Miguel A. ́ngel Carrasco A1 - Gandara, VD SP - 207 EP - 215 VL - 32 IS - 3 N2 - The present work analyzes the relationships between the dimensions of temperament and the exteriorized emotions of aggression and anger. Temperament was assessed by mothers using the Dimensions of Temperament Survey-Revised, while aggression and anger were self-reported by the children using the Scale of physical and Verbal Aggression and the State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory for Children. The sample studied was made up of 293 children (49.83% boys; 50.17% girls) with a mean age of 11.13 years. The results showed that temperamental difficulties give rise to exteriorized emotions, especially anger. Predictive values of temperament on aggression and anger ranged from 1% to 7% of explained variance.
