Background

More research is needed to improve measurement selection and to better understand informant differences in reports of reactive and proactive aggression.

Objective

Toward this goal, the current study evaluated the psychometrics (i.e., reliability, factor structure, and validity) and correlates of two measures of reactive and proactive aggression (i.e., Dodge & Coie, in J Pers Soc Psychol 53:1146, 1987; Raine et al. in Aggress Behav 32:15–171, 2006) across three informants (i.e., parent, teacher, and youth).

Method

Parent, teacher and youth reports of measures were collected in a community recruited sample of 9–12 year-old youth (M = 10.44; 56% male).

Results

Both measures demonstrated adequate to good internal consistency by parent- and teacher-report, and borderline to adequate internal consistency by youth-report. Additionally, aggression subscales were correlated within and across measures and informants, and an appropriate 2-factor structure was identified for both measures across informants. Consistent with prior research, reactive aggression was more robustly associated with depression symptoms and effortful control than proactive aggression across measures, but there were some links with proactive aggression.

Conclusions

Overall findings suggest that both measures are psychometrically appropriate to use with parents, teachers, and youth. However, there were distinctions between the two measures, and relying solely on youth reports in this age group is not recommended. Further, there are unique associations evident with various informants, supporting the need for multiple informants when assessing functions of aggression in youth.

背景:需要更多的研究来改进测量方法的选择，并更好地理解被调查者在反应性攻击和主动攻击报告中的差异。目的为了达到这一目的，本研究评估了反应性攻击和主动性攻击两种测量方法(Dodge &[J] .中华精神病学杂志，2003;Raine et al.在Aggress Behav 32:15-171, 2006)中对三个线人(即家长、老师和青少年)进行了研究。方法收集社区9-12岁青少年家长、教师和青少年对措施的报告(M = 10.44;56%的男性)。结果两项指标均表现出良好的内部一致性(家长报告和教师报告)和良好的内部一致性(青少年报告)。此外，攻击分量表在被测者和被测者之间以及在被测者之间存在相关性，并确定了一个合适的两因素结构。与先前的研究一致，反应性攻击与抑郁症状和努力控制的关系比主动攻击更强，但与主动攻击有一定的联系。结论总体结果表明，这两种测量方法在心理测量学上适用于家长、教师和青少年。然而，两种测量方法之间存在差异，不建议仅依赖该年龄组的青少年报告。此外，在评估青少年攻击功能时，不同的信息者之间存在明显的独特关联，这支持了对多个信息者的需求。

Background

Extensive research into wilderness therapy has not explored who benefits the most and who does not thrive in these programs.

Objective

The present study examined demographic, clinical, and familial characteristics that distinguished adolescents who improve most in wilderness therapy programs from those who deteriorate.

Method

Using data collected by the National Association of Therapeutic Schools and Programs Practice Research Network, the study sample consisted of 5639 adolescents attending wilderness therapy programs which collected and contributed data to the Practice Research Network between 2017 and 2022. Measures included the Youth Outcome Questionnaire-Self Report and the McMaster Family Assessment Device, as well as demographic, familial, and clinical data collected by program staff.

Results

Using binary and univariate logistic regression, the study found individual and familial factors that predicted membership in the top 10% of adolescent participants in terms of mental health improvement from pre-to-post wilderness therapy and those factors which predicted membership in the bottom 10% in terms of poorer mental health from pre-to-post program.

Conclusions

Considering the intensity, length, and financial resources associated with wilderness therapy program participation, these findings have important implications for wilderness therapy program staff professional development, communication of expectations to adolescents’ parents/caregivers, and program admission decisions.

对荒野疗法的广泛研究还没有探索谁在这些项目中受益最多，谁没有茁壮成长。目的:本研究考察了在野外治疗项目中青少年的人口统计学、临床和家族特征，这些特征区分了青少年在野外治疗项目中改善最多和恶化最多。方法使用全国治疗学校和项目实践研究网络协会收集的数据，研究样本包括5639名参加荒野治疗项目的青少年，该项目收集并向2017年至2022年的实践研究网络提供数据。测量方法包括青年结果问卷-自我报告和麦克马斯特家庭评估装置，以及项目工作人员收集的人口统计、家庭和临床数据。结果采用二元和单变量logistic回归分析，发现个体和家族因素能够预测前10%的青少年参与者在野外治疗前后的心理健康改善方面的成员资格，以及预测后10%的青少年参与者在野外治疗前后的心理健康较差方面的成员资格。考虑到荒野治疗项目参与的强度、时长和财政资源，这些发现对荒野治疗项目工作人员的专业发展、与青少年父母/照顾者的期望沟通以及项目录取决策具有重要意义。
