Resultados: En sentido general, la dimensión cognitiva fue evaluada de mal, pues de los cuatro indicadores que la componen, tres recibieron la misma denominación. La dimensión instrumental obtuvo una calificación de mal, dado que los dos indicadores que la conforman alcanzaron iguales resultados. La dimensión actitudinal recibió regular y si bien se demostró que no poseían dominio de la estrategia, reflejaron interés en aprovechar las diferentes materias para tales fines. Discusión: Los resultados de este diagnóstico inicial de los orientadores educativos en el tema que ocupa, demostró las serias dificultades que poseen, además del escaso dominio y conocimiento para enfrentar esta problemática y se corroboró su correspondencia con los constatados por investigadores del tema.

Introduction: In the Dominican Republic, special education represents a necessary educational transformation. The new approach to social inclusion and attention to diversity offer opportunities to all learners. In this sense, educators must direct the process of professional development. Therefore, the objective of this text is to evaluate the results of the initial diagnosis in a research on the professional improvement of the educational counselor in the prevention of aggressive behavior alterations. Methods: A descriptive observational study was carried out on educational counselors in the first cycle of the secondary level belonging to the Educational District 18-02 of the municipality of Tamayo, Bahoruco province, Dominican Republic. The research was carried out during the months of January to June 2023. From a universe of 42 educational counselors, a sample of 13 was intentionally selected, who met the eligibility criteria. For this purpose, an evaluative instrument was applied consisting of a cognitive dimension, and instrumental dimension and an attitudinal dimension, with their respective indicators and dimensions. Results: In general sense, the cognitive dimension was evaluated poorly, since of the four indicators that comprise it, three received the same name. The instrumental dimension obtained a rating of poor, given that the two indicators that make it up achieved equal results. The attitudinal dimension was fair, and although it was demonstrated that they did not have mastery of strategy, they reflected interest in taking advantage of different subjects for such purposes. Discussion: The results of this initial diagnosis of the educational counselors on the subject at hand, demonstrated the serious difficulties they have, in addition to the poor mastery and knowledge to face this problem, and their correspondence with those found by researchers on the subject was corroborated.

Psychometric validation of the audio-guided rBVQ instrument for bullying evaluation among students / Validação psicométrica do instrumento áudio-guiado rBVQ para avaliação de bullying / Validación psicométrica del instrumento audio guiado rBVQ para la evaluación del bullying

The revised Olweus Bully/Victim Questionnaire (rBVQ) is an internationally used instrument to identify bullying, but due to Brazilian students' low proficiency in reading and writing, it had to be adapted for audio-guided use through smartphones. We investigated construct validity, using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), under a two-correlated factor solution. Participated 1,742 fifth graders and 2,316 seventh graders from 30 public schools in the city of São Paulo. We found excellent fit indices models for both grades (fifth grade: CFI=0.985, RMSEA=0.020; seventh grade: CFI=0.990, RMSEA=0.015), as well as factor loading higher than 0.4 for all items, indicating their relevance to the construct. The rBVQ demonstrated excellent psychometric properties and may help future studies that aim to investigate bullying in populations with similar profiles. In addition, this study innovates by evaluating an audio-guided instrument and using mobile technology. (AU)

The mediating role of alexithymia in the relationship between trait anger and aggressive behavior among male prisoners / 中华行为医学与脑科学杂志

Objective:To explore the mediating role of alexithymia in the relationship between trait anger and aggressive behavior among male violent prisoners.Methods:A sample of 268 male violent prisoners completed self-report measures of the trait anger scale (TAS), Toronto alexithymia scale-20 (TAS-20) and the Chinese college students' version of Buss-Perry aggression questionnaire. SPSS 23.0 software and Mplus 8.0 software were used to test the mediating effect.Results:The total scores of trait anger, aggressive behavior and alexithymia were (17.75±4.93), (52.15±10.61)and (70.90±19.40), respectively. Pearson correlation analysis showed that trait anger was both significantly positively correlated with aggressive behavior ( r=0.67, P<0.01) and alexithymia ( r=0.40, P<0.01), and there was also a significantly positive correlation between alexithymia and aggressive behavior ( r=0.55, P<0.01). Multivariate hierarchical regression analysis showed that trait anger directly predicted aggressive behavior ( β=0.67, P<0.01) after controlling the influence of alcohol addiction. Emotional recognition disorder played a partially mediating role in the relationship between trait anger and aggressive behavior ( β=0.18, 95% CI=0.11-0.27). Conclusion:Trait anger not only directly affects male violent prisoners aggressive behavior, but also indirectly affects male violent prisoners aggressive behavior through emotional recognition disorder.

Caracterización de la conducta agresiva y de variables psicosociales en una muestra de adolescentes de la ciudad de Bucaramanga y su área metropolitana / Characterization of aggressive behaviour and psychosocial variables in a sample of adolescents from the city of Bucaramanga and its metropolitan área

Resumen Introducción: La agresividad es una variable que se ha venido asociando a problemas sociales y clínicos; a su vez, se ha estimado un incremento de la misma denotando un riesgo mayor en población infanto-juvenil. Objetivo: Describir las características de la conducta agresiva y variables psicosociales asociadas (tipo de relaciones familiares y antecedentes personales), en una muestra de 351 adolescentes ente 12 y 17 años de edad de la ciudad de Bucaramanga y su área metropolitana. Método: Es una investigación cuantitativa de alcance descriptivo transversal. Se empleó un Cuestionario "Ad hoc" y el Cuestionario de Agresividad Premeditada e Impulsiva en Adolescentes (Andreu, 2010), los cuales se aplicaron de forma autoadministrada desde un muestreo no probabilístico. Los resultados se obtuvieron a través del programa estadístico SPSS, realizando un análisis estadístico de medidas de tendencia central y Chi cuadrado. Resultados: Se identificó que la agresividad es frecuente en los adolescentes, especialmente de tipo impulsiva (33 %), y predominando en las mujeres (premeditada= 25,4 %; impulsiva= 37,3 %). Los adolescentes con agresividad impulsiva alta se caracterizaban por menor edad (12 años= 7,7 %) y menor nivel académico (séptimo grado o menos= 14,8 %). De forma genérica, quienes tenían agresividad alta, tenían relación distante desde lo afectivo y físico con el padre, y antecedentes de haber tenido problemas con otros por ejercer la agresión. Conclusión: Los hallazgos comprueban la frecuencia de la agresividad en la adolescencia, y llevan a reflexionar sobre posibles cambios en los roles sociales sobre la expresión de las emociones. Es fundamental estudiar la relación de la agresividad con la impulsividad, la edad, la dinámica relacional con los padres, con el fin de brindar mayores aportes en el desarrollo de estrategias de prevención de la conducta disfuncional asociada a la agresividad.

Abstract Introduction: Aggression is a variable that has been associated with social and clinical problems; at the same time, an increase in it has been estimated, denoting a higher risk in the child-adolescent population. Objective: To describe the characteristics of aggressive behavior and associated psychosocial variables (type of family relationships and personal history), in a sample of 351 adolescents between 12 and 17 years of age from the city of Bucaramanga and its metropolitan area. Method: It is a quantitative investigation of transversal descriptive scope. An "Ad hoc" Questionnaire and the Premeditated and Impulsive Aggression Questionnaire in Adolescents (Andreu, 2010) were used, which were self-administered from a non-probabilistic sampling. The results were obtained through the SPSS statistical program, performing a statistical analysis of measures of central tendency and Chi square. Results: It was identified that aggressiveness is frequent in adolescents, especially of the impulsive type (33 %), and predominantly in women (premeditated = 25,4 %; impulsive = 37,3 %). Adolescents with high impulsive aggressiveness were characterized by younger age (12 years = 7,7 %) and lower academic level (seventh grade or less = 14,8 %). In a generic way, those who had high aggressiveness, had a distant emotional and physical relationship with the father, and a history of having had problems with others for exerting aggression. Conclusion: The findings verify the frequency of aggressiveness in adolescence, and lead to reflect on possible changes in social roles on the expression of emotions. It is essential to study the relationship of aggressiveness with impulsivity, age, and relationship dynamics with parents, in order to provide greater contributions in the development of strategies for the prevention of dysfunctional behavior associated with aggressiveness

A chain mediating model of emotion dysregulation and trait anger in the relationship between childhood abuse and aggressive behavior within the undergraduate students / 中华行为医学与脑科学杂志

Objective:To explore the chain mediating effect of emotion dysregulation and trait anger between childhood trauma and aggressive behavior in adolescents.Methods:A sample of 1 333 undergraduates were recruited to complete the questionnaires about childhood trauma, aggressive behavior, emotion dysregulation, trait anger.The SPSS 23. 0 and Mplus 8.3 software were used to analysis data and test intermediate effect.Results:The scores of childhood trauma, aggressive behavior, difficulties in emotion regulation and trait anger were (33.624±8.211), (53.995±12.307), (91.781±17.518), (23.352±5.477), respectively. Correlation analysis showed that childhood trauma, aggressive behavior, emotion dysregulation and trait anger were positively correlated with each other( r=0.209-0.614; all P<0.01). Mediation modeling analysis showed that childhood trauma had a significant direct effect on aggressive behavior. The direct effect value was 0.121, accounting for 35.8% of the total effect. The total indirect effect of childhood trauma on aggressive behavior was 0.217, accounting for 64.2% of the total effect. The mediating effect of emotion dysregulation as mediator between childhood trauma and aggressive behavior was 0.035, accounting for 10.4% of the total effect. The mediating effect of trait anger as mediator between childhood trauma and aggressive behavior was 0.108, accounting for 31.9% of the total effect. The chain mediating effect of emotion dysregulation and trait anger was 0.074, accounting for 21.9% of the total effect. Conclusion:Emotion dysregulation and trait anger exert a multiple mediating effect on the relationship between childhood trauma and aggressive behavior.

Relationship between aggressive behavior in patients with bipolar disorder and DRD4 gene polymorphism and personality characteristics / 上海交通大学学报（医学版）

Objective: To explore the relationship between aggressive behavior, dopamine receptor D4 (DRD4) exon III 48 bp variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) and personality characteristics in patients with bipolar disorder. Methods: From January 2015 to December 2018, 173 patients with bipolar disorder were selected from Shanghai Changning Mental Health Center, Shanghai Jing'an Mental Health Center, Shanghai Xuhui Mental Health Center, and Shanghai Jiading Central Hospital. According to the score of Modified Overt Aggression scale (MOAS), 173 patients were divided into aggressive behavior group (research group) and non-aggressive behavior group (control group). General survey and the temperament and personality questionnaire (Temperature and Character Inventory, TCI) were carried out, respectively. The polymorphism of DRD4 gene were genotyped by the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method. Genetic equilibrium test of genotype Hardy-Weinberg and the difference of genotype frequency between the two groups were analyzed by using SHEsis software. The relationship between aggression behavior and DRD4 gene polymorphism and personality traits in bipolar disorder patients was analyzed by χ2 test and t test. Results: There was no significant difference in the general data between research group and control group (P>0.05). Six alleles and nine genotypes of DRD4 exon III 48 bp VNTR were detected. The most common alleles in the two groups were four repeat alleles. There were statistical differences in the frequency distribution of genotypes and alleles of DRD4 exon III 48 bp VNTR between the two groups (P=0.040, P=0.018). The scores of novelty seeking and harm avoidance in the research group were higher than those in the control group (P=0.026, P=0.000), while the scores of cooperativeness and self-directedness were lower than those in the control group (both P=0.000). Patients with long repeat alleles had significantly higher scores in novelty seeking and harm avoidance, and lower scores in cooperativeness, compared with patients with short repeat alleles (P=0.000, P=0.006, P=0.038). Conclusion: Aggressive behavior in patients with bipolar disorder may be associated with DRD4 exon III 48 bp VNTR. In bipolar disorder, patients with aggressive behavior have unique personality characteristics in impulsiving, novelty-seeking, exploring, being afraid of uncertainty, revengeful, behaving himself and so on. Patients with long repeat alleles have more significant personality abnormalities.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the mediating effect of coping styles on aggressive behavior against bus drivers and their mental health status. METHODS: A total of 447 bus drivers were selected as the research objects using the method of judgment sampling. The aggressive behavior, mental health status and coping style of bus drivers were investigated using the Questionnaire of Aggressive Behaviors Against Bus Drivers, Symptom-Checklist 90 and Questionnaire of Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire. RESULTS: The median scores of aggressive behavior against bus drivers, positive coping style, negative coping style and mental health status were 50.0, 22.0, 10.0 and 125.0, respectively. Aggressive behavior against bus drivers and negative coping style were positively correlated with mental health status [Spearman correlation coefficient(r_S) were 0.27 and 0.42, respectively, P<0.01]. Positive coping style was not correlated with mental health status(r_S=-0.08, P>0.05). The total effect of aggressive behavior against bus drivers on their mental health status was 0.30. The mediating role of negative coping styles on aggressive behavior against bus drivers and their mental health status was 0.10, accounting for 33.1% of the total effect. CONCLUSION: Negative coping styles play a partial mediating role on the impact of aggressive behavior against bus drivers′ mental health status.

Sleep pattern, aggressive behavior and substance use among school students of Manipur: A cross-sectional study

Background: Adolescence is a vulnerable period of growth and development. This is the time when habits are inculcated which will carry forward to adult life. Sleeping patterns among adolescents have an impact on their overall health. Early substance use initiation is a serious concern because it is associated with significantly increased risks for developing substance use disorders. In general, aggressive behaviors progress from less to more severe over the course of adolescent development. Objectives: The objectives of this study are to determine the lifestyle behaviors of young adolescents focusing on sleep pattern, aggressive behavior, and substance use. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 739 students of Class VII and VIII in both government and private schools in Imphal West and Kangpokpi districts of Manipur between August 27 and September 25, 2017. A pretested, structured questionnaire was used, which included the modified version of Buss and Perry Aggression Questionnaire. The data were analyzed using the IBM SPSS software (IBM SPSS for Windows, Version 21.0. Armonk, NY, USA). Results: Only 56.2% of the students had adequate sleep. The proportion of adolescents using alcohol, tobacco, cigarettes, and Ganja was 4.6%, 9.5%, 5.7%, and 1.6%, respectively. Aggressive behavior was shown by 35.3%. Male students were getting more sleep (60.7%), were more aggressive (38.8%), and were using tobacco and cigarettes (82.4%) more than female students. Conclusions: Around two-fifth of the adolescents were not getting enough sleep. The association between aggressive behavior and substance use was found but needs further investigation for its temporal relationship.

Resumen El objetivo de esta investigación fue construir una escala de agresividad confiable y culturalmente relevante para adultos mexicanos. Se elaboraron 96 reactivos en escala Likert a partir de indicadores obtenidos en un estudio preliminar y de planteamientos teóricos. Participaron voluntarios de la Ciudad de México. Se obtuvieron cinco factores que agrupan 25 reactivos que explican el 61.59 % de la varianza, 0=0.92. En otro estudio, se realizó un análisis factorial confirmatorio que mostró índices de ajuste adecuados. Posteriormente, se obtuvieron correlaciones entre la personalidad y la agresividad. Los resultados muestran que los factores extroversión, afabilidad, responsabilidad y apertura se asocian negativamente a la agresividad; mientras que el neuroticismo se asocia positivamente. Respecto a las diferencias por sexo, los resultados indican que los hombres muestran niveles más elevados de reactividad y las mujeres de frustración. Se concluye que la escala es un instrumento válido y confiable que permite reconocer diferencias entre los cinco grandes factores de personalidad, así como en hombres y mujeres.

Abstract The objective of this research project was to construct a reliable and culturally relevant scale to measure aggressiveness in Mexican adults. A 96-item Likert scale was designed, on the basis of indicators drawn from a preliminary study and of theoretical formulations. Participants were volunteers from Mexico City. Five factors were obtained that group together 25 items explaining 61.59 % of the variance, 0=0.92. In another study, a confirmatory factor analysis was performed, which showed adequate indexes of adjustment. Subsequently, correlations between personality and aggressiveness were obtained. Results show that the extroversion, affability, responsibility, and openness factors are negatively associated with aggressiveness, while neuroticism is positively associated. With respect to differences by sex, findings indicate that men show higher reactivity levels and women, higher frustration levels. The conclusion is that the scale is a valid and reliable instrument that makes it possible to identify differences among the five big personality traits, as well as between men and women.

Aggressive behavior is common in childhood, which requires the use of appropriate instruments to measure them. The aim of this study was to test the measurement invariance of the Peer Aggressive Behavior Scale (PAB-S) and to investigate evidence of validity based on the association with other external variables. Participants were 237 caregivers (M=38.5; SD=7.02, 70.6% mothers) and 1,370 children, aged 7 to 13 years (M=9.87, SD=1.28, 53.1% girls), students from elementary schools in three Brazilian states. The Multigroup Confirmatory Factor Analysis demonstrated configural, scalar and metric invariance of the PAB-S. The Structural Equation Modeling indicated adequate evidence of concurrent and convergent validity. The results demonstrate adequate psychometric properties of the PAB-S, suggesting its adequacy for use in the Brazilian context. Further studies should be conducted to further evidence the validity and reliability of the PAB-S.

Los comportamientos agresivos son comunes en la infancia, lo cual exige el uso de instrumentos adecuados para evaluarlos. El objetivo de este estudio fue testar la invariancia de medida de la Peer Aggressive Behavior Scale (PAB-S) e investigar evidencias de validez baseada en la relación con otras variables externas. Participaron 237 cuidadores (M =38,5; DP=7,02; 70,6% mamás) y 1370 niños, con edades entre 7 y 13 años (M=9,87; DP=1,28; 53,1% niñas), estudiantes de colegios de primaria de tres estados brasileños. El Análisis Factorial Confirmatório Multigrupo demonstró la invariancia configural escalar y métrica de la PAB-S. Ya el Modelaje de Ecuaciones Estructurales indicó evidencias adecuadas de validez concurrente y convergente. Los resultados señalas que las propiedades psicométricas de la PAB-S son adecuadas, lo cual sugiere que esta escala es pertinente para el uso en el contexto brasileño. Nuevos estudios deberían ser conduzidos para agregar otras evidencias de validez y confiabilidad de la PAB-S.

Tumor odontogénico queratoquístico en seno maxilar: reporte de un caso clínico / Keratocystic odontogenic tumor in the maxillary sinus: report of a clinical case

El tumor odontogénico queratoquístico, es una patología que se encuentra asociada a la retención de un órgano dentario, en especial al tercer molar, es reconocido por su potencial destructivo y extenso, erosionando placas corticales que envuelven mucosa y tejidos blandos, la etiología del tumor odontogénico queratoquístico está probablemente relacionada con el desarrollo de la lámina dental (o restos de Serres) y con una mayor recidiva dentro de los tumores odontogénicos, siendo motivo de su reclasificación en el 2005 por la OMS. Se presenta casoclínico de un tumor odontogénico queratoquístico en el seno maxilarderecho, se exponen los métodos utilizados para la exploración clínica,radiológica y el tratamiento quirúrgico elegido.

The keratocystic odontogenic tumor is a condition associated withtooth retention, particularly of the third molar. It is recognized as beingpotentially highly destructive, by eroding cortical plates overlying theoral mucosa and soft tissues. The etiology of keratocystic odontogenictumor is probably related to the development of the dental lamina (orremains of Serres) and the recurrence rate is high compared to that ofother odontogenic tumors, the reason for their reclassifi cation by theWHO in 2005. We present a clinical case of a keratocystic odontogenictumor in the right maxillary sinus, including an explanation of themethods used for clinical and radiological examination, and the chosensurgical treatment.

Effect of serotonin 1A receptor agonist on pathological aggressive behaviors and brain-derived and glial cell-derived neurotrophic factors in prefrontal cortex and hippocampus of puberty rats / 第二军医大学学报

Objective To explore the effect of serotonin 1A (5-HT1A) receptor agonist 8-OH-DPAT on pathological aggressive behavior, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) in prefrontal cortex and hippocampus in pubertal rats. Methods Forty-two 21-day-old male SD rats were randomly divided into 6 groups:model group, normal group, model+8-OH-DPAT group, model+normal saline (NS) group, normal+8-OH-DPAT group and normal+NS group, with 7 rats in each group. The rats in the model, model+8-OH-DPAT and model+NS groups were given a series of early chronic stresses to establish the pathological aggressive animal model, and the other 3 groups were fed normally. Then the rats in the model+8-OH-DPAT and normal+8-OH-DPAT groups were injected intraperitoneally with 8-OH-DPAT (0.5 mg/kg), while the rats in the model+NS and normal groups were administered with 2 mL of NS. We determined the aggressive behaviors of the rats through resident-intruder test and detected the protein expressions of BDNF and GDNF in prefrontal cortex and hippocampus by Western blotting. Results (1) Compared with the normal group, the latency in the first attack in the model group was significantly shorter (P0.05). (2) The protein expressions of BDNF and GDNF in the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus in the model group were significantly lower than those in the normal group (P<0.01), but they were significantly decreased in the model+NS group compared with the normal+NS group (P<0.05, P<0.01) and were significantly increased in the model+8-OH-DPAT group compared with the model+NS group (P<0.05, P<0.01). Conclusion The expressions of BDNF and GDNF in the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus may be related to the pathological aggressive behaviors induced by early chronic stress in puberty rats. 5-HT1A receptor agonist can reduce the pathological aggressive behaviors induced by early chronic stress and increase the expressions of BDNF and GDNF in prefrontal cortex and hippocampus in puberty rats.

Comparison of gene frequencies of short tandem repeats loci on Y Chromosome between offenders with initiative-aggressive behavior and impulsive-aggressive behavior / 中华行为医学与脑科学杂志

Objective To explore the distributional differences of the gene frequencies of 22 short tandem repeats loci on Y Chromosome(Y?STRs) between offenders with Initiative?aggressive behavior and impulsive?aggressive behavior,and to probe into the genetic factors of initiative?aggressive behavior and im?pulsive?aggressive behavior. Methods Biological samples of 271 offenders with initiative?aggressive behav?ior and 271 offenders with impulsive?aggressive behavior were collected and PCR compound amplification was carried out with the aid of PowerPlex Y23 System. Then the PCR products were subjected to electrophoresis and gene detection with AB3500xL gene analysis system so as to calculate and compare the alleles and haplo?types of 22 Y?STRs gene frequency in the two groups. Results The distribution of allele frequency were sig?nificantly difference in locus DYS437(P=0.022) between two groups,not in the other 21 Y?STRs loci( all P>0.05) . Univarite analysis showed significant differences at allelle 14 in locus DYS437 between both groups ( initiative?aggressive behavior group:69. 37%;impulsive?aggressive behavior group:58. 67%; P=0. 009 ) . Conclusion Loci DYS437 may be associated with aggressive behavior. In the group of aggressive behavior, allelle 14 on locus DYS437 may be the susceptible factor of initiative?aggressive behavior and the resistant factor of impulsive?aggressive.

The relevancebetween genetic polymorphismof NR3C1andaggressive behavior in Yunnan Han population / 中国法医学杂志

Objective To study the correlation between the polymorphisms of NR3C1 gene and aggressive behavior in Yunnan Han population.Methods Five SNPs of the NR3C1 gene (rs6190,rs6191,rs6198,rs41423247 and rs56149945) were genotyped in 194 unrelated prisoners who committed violent-crimes and 301 healthy controls using improved Multiplex-ligase-detection reaction(iMLDR) method,and the data were statistically analyzed with the SPSS19.0soflware and PHASE2.1platform.Results Single locus analysis showed that the allelic distribution of rs6191and rs41423247did not show significant differencesbetween the control groupand the aggressive-behavior group as well as the robbery sub-group and intentional injury sub-group.However,significant difference was foundin the rs41423247 genotype distribution betweencontrol groupand robbery sub-group (p=0.048).In addition,there were no significant differences for the four haplotypes between the control group,the attack group,the robbery subgroup and the intentional injury subgroup.Conclusion These findings indicate that rs41423247 polymorphism of the NR3C1gene might play a role in susceptibility to aggressive behavior and rs6191 polymorphismmay not be correlated withaggressive behavior.
