TYPES OF AGGRESSION IN ADOLESCENTS WITH HIGH AND LOW CALLOUS UNEMOTIONAL TRAITS
TYPES OF AGGRESSION IN ADOLESCENTS WITH HIGH AND LOW CALLOUS UNEMOTIONAL TRAITS

Summary/Abstract: This study investigates the relationship between the four types of aggression and callous-unemotional traits in a sample of non-reffered adolescents aged 14-18 in Romania. Result have shown that adolescents with a high level of callous-unemotional traits (callousness, uncaring and unemotional) show higher rates of proactive overt and relational aggression compared to adolescent low on callous-unemotional traits. In what concerns the overt and relational reactive type of aggression, we found no significant differences according to the presence of callous-unemotional traits, which is consistent with the the fact that there were no significant differences in the levels of impulsivity between adolescents high and low in callous-unemotional traits.
