  • Title: Reactive and proactive aggression: attachment and social competence predictors.
    Author: Marcus RF, Kramer C.
    Journal: J Genet Psychol; 2001 Sep; 162(3):260-75. PubMed ID: 11678363.
    Abstract:
    In this study, 107 boys and girls aged 3 to 8 years were rated by their mothers on 6 factors: Reactive and Proactive Aggression, Secure and Insecure Attachment, and Prosocial Orientation and Social Initiative (i.e., social competence). Both secure attachment and prosocial orientation predicted proactive and reactive aggression, but prosocial orientation mediated the attachment-aggression relation in the case of reactive but not proactive aggression.
