Buss–Perry Aggression Questionnaire
The Buss–Perry Aggression Questionnaire was designed by Arnold H. Buss and Mark Perry, professors from the University of Texas at Austin in a 1992 article for the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.
It is a 29-item questionnaire in which participants rank certain statements along a 5-point continuum from "extremely uncharacteristic of me" to "extremely characteristic of me". The scores are normalized on a scale of 0 to 1, with 1 being the highest level of aggression.
The questionnaire returns scores for four dimensions of aggression:
- Physical aggression
- Verbal aggression
- Anger
- Hostility
