| Sumario: | Aggression is an important problem of adolescents, the understanding of this phenomenon is crucial. The purpose of this study is to analyze the structural validity and invariance of the Reactive/Proactive Aggression Questionnaire (RPQ) in institutionalized and non-institutionalized adolescents from Lima. 344 male adolescents were selected, among 15 and 17 years old (Mage = 16.055, SDage = .674), 51.16% were institutionalized in a youth center for diagnosis and social rehabilitation due to conflicts with criminal law. The results show that the two-dimensional model of the RPQ presents relatively acceptable fit indices (SB-χ2 = 461.463(229), CFI = .914, RMSEA = .054 [.047-.062]). Additionally, the configurational, metric, scalar and strict invariance was established in both groups. Adequate omega coefficients are reported for reactive aggression (ω = .797) and proactive aggression (ω = .837). It is concluded that the RPQ is a two-dimensional, parsimonious, and interpretable measure that determines reactive and proactive aggression in the aforementioned adolescents. |
