Development of a social emotional information processing assessment for adults (SEIP‐Q)
An expanded self‐report, vignette‐based, questionnaire was developed to assess five components in a social emotional information processing model (SEIP: attribution, emotional response, response valuation, outcome expectancy, response efficacy, and response enactment), first in a population‐based sample (n = 250) and, second in healthy control participants (n = 50) and in those with DSM‐5 Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED: n = 50). SEIP‐Q vignettes depict, separately, both overtly aggressive and relationally aggressive as well as socially ambivalent scenarios. This expanded SEIP‐Q assessment demo...

Disentangling functions of online aggression: The Cyber ‐Aggression Typology Questionnaire (CATQ)
Aggression in online contexts has received much attention over the last decade, yet there is a need for measures identifying the proximal psychological drivers of cyber‐aggressive behavior. The purpose of this study was to present data on the newly developed Cyber‐Aggression Typology Questionnaire (CATQ) designed to distinguish between four distinct types of cyber‐aggression on dimensions of motivational valence and self‐control. A sample 314 undergraduate students participated in the study. The results confirmed the predicted four‐factor structure providing evidence for distinct and independent impulsive‐avers...

Measuring individual differences in responses to date ‐rape vignettes using latent variable models
Vignette methodology can be a flexible and powerful way to examine individual differences in response to dangerous real‐life scenarios. However, most studies underutilize the usefulness of such methodology by analyzing only one outcome, which limits the ability to track event‐related changes (e.g., vacillation in risk perception). The current study was designed to illustrate the dynamic influence of risk perception on exit point from a date‐rape vignette. Our primary goal was to provide an illustrative example of how to use latent variable models for vignette methodology, including latent growth curve modeling with p...

The relationship between physical aggression, foreign policy and moral choices: Phenotypic and genetic findings
Previous work has demonstrated that both leaders and other individuals vary in dispositional levels of physical aggression, which are genetically influenced. Yet the importance of individual differences in aggression for attitudes toward foreign policy or context‐laden moral choices, such as sacrificing the lives of some for the greater good of many, has yet to be fully explored. Given the global importance of such decisions, we undertook this exploration in a sample of 586 Australians, including 250 complete twin pairs. We found that individuals who scored higher on Buss–Perry's physical aggression scale were more lik...

How do different dimensions of adolescent narcissism impact the relation between callous ‐unemotional traits and self‐reported aggression?
The current study examined the moderating influence that different aspects of narcissism have on the relation between callous‐unemotional (CU) traits and aggression in a sample of 720 adolescents (500 males), ages 16–19 enrolled in a 22‐week residential program. Findings from the two studies revealed that psychopathy‐linked narcissism as assessed by the Antisocial Process Screening Device (APSD; Frick & Hare, 2001; Antisocial process screening device. Toronto: Multi‐Health Systems.) and vulnerable narcissism as assessed using the Pathological Narcissism Inventory (PNI; Pincus et al., 2009; Initial constructio...

Are target ‐shooters more aggressive than the general population?
Although psychological research shows that guns are aggressive cues, proponents of liberal gun control argue that people rather than guns are to blame for gun‐related violence. For instance, athletic target‐shooters might classify guns as athletic rather than aggressive stimuli and thus should not be more aggressive than the general population. The present work investigated aggression and emotion‐regulation in target‐shooters. A longitudinal study found that initial self‐reported aggression in target‐shooters was higher than in the general population and further increased over 1 year. Additionally, the sample e...

Psychological and relational correlates of intimate partner violence profiles among pregnant adolescent couples
We sought to identify relationship and individual psychological factors that related to four profiles of intimate partner violence (IPV) among pregnant adolescent couples: no IPV, male IPV victim only, female IPV victim only, mutual IPV, and how associations differ by sex. Using data from a longitudinal study of pregnant adolescents and partners (n = 291 couples), we used a multivariate profile analysis using multivariate analysis of covariance with between and within‐subjects effects to compare IPV groups and sex on relationship and psychological factors. Analyses were conducted at the couple level, with IPV groups ...

Violent media and hostile appraisals: A meta ‐analytic review
Hostile people tend to view the world as a hostile place. Although there are individual differences in hostile world‐views, situational factors can also play a role. For example, scenes of violence in the mass media might influence people to view the world as a hostile place. This meta‐analysis aggregates, for the first time, all studies that have investigated the link between exposure to violent media and hostile appraisals (e.g., perceiving the ambiguous actions by others as aggressive actions). This meta‐analysis included 37 independent studies involving 10,410 participants. The results showed a “small” to “...
