Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Answer is a) The four quadrants of aggressive behavior identified by Frick and colleagues are proactive aggression, reactive aggression, overt aggression, and relational aggression.

An example of proactive aggression is a child who bullies others to gain power or resources. Reactive aggression is exemplified by a child who responds aggressively to perceived threats or provocations. Overt aggression involves physical acts of aggression, such as hitting or kicking, while relational aggression involves behaviors aimed at damaging social relationships, such as spreading rumors or excluding others.

b) The quadrants of proactive and reactive aggression were found to be more closely aligned with Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), while the quadrants of overt and relational aggression were more closely aligned with Conduct Disorder (CD).
