Summary/Abstract: The paper presents the development of Bulgarian version of the Aggression Questionnaire (Buss & Perry, 1992). The sample includes 943 subjects from two age groups: (a) adolescents (705 6th-12th grade students; 35,7% males, 61,5% females, 2,8% missing); (b) undergraduate students (238 subjects; 19,3% males, 78,6% females, 2,1% missing). The exploratory factor analysis (PCA/Oblimin rotation) replicates the original 4-factor structure of the Questionnaire (Buss & Perry, 1992): Physical Aggression (number of items 9, Cronbach's 6=0,81); Verbal Aggression (N=5, 6=0,60); Anger (N=8, 6=0,77) and Hostility (N=7, 6 =65). The development trends of the components and the sex differences are also examined. Data supporting the construct-validity of the Questionnaire are gathered by several self-descriptions scales: The Dissipation-Rumination scale (Caprara, 1986); the Peer Victimization and Aggression Scale (Kalchev, 2003)\ the Socialization Scale (Gough, 1994) and short version of the Coolidge Axis II Inventory (Coolidge, 1993; Kalchev 1997). Finally, a "typology" of the aggressors, based on the pattern of the components extracted, is briefly discussed.
