Prediction of adolescent aggression by childhood personality measures: a comparison of projective procedures, self-report tests, and behavior ratings

Article Abstract:

A study to find the best assessment type for predicting aggressive behavior in adolescents shows that projective procedures for children are as effective as the behavioral procedures and possibly more effective than self-report measures. The follow-up study compares projective techniques, self reports, and aggression behavior ratings by teachers six years after the administration of samples. The samples include adolescents in grades 7-12.
