TORREGROSA, María S et al. Relationship between Aggessive Behavior and Academic Goals: Study with a Spanish Compulsory Secondary Education Sample of Students. Univ. Psychol. [online]. 2012, vol.11, n.4, pp.1303-1315. ISSN 1657-9267.

This study analyzed the relationship between aggressive behavior and academic goals in a sample of 2.022 Spanish students of Compulsory Secondary Education (CSE). Aggressive behavior was assessed with the Teenage Inventory of Social Skills (TISS), and academic goals were assessed with the Achievement Goal Tendencies Questionnaire (AGTQ). The results revealed that students with high aggressive behavior, in both sexes and for all academic grades of CSE, had significantly higher scores in social reinforcement goals than their peers with low aggressive behavior. Logistic regression analyses showed that high aggressive behavior was a positive and statistically significant predictor of high social reinforcement goals, in both sexes and for all academic grades of CSE.
