Issues in the Assessment of Aggressive Behavior.
Wehby, Joseph H.
Preventing School Failure, v38 n3 p24-28 Spr 1994
This review describes four major hypotheses related to aggressive behavior and reviews current means for assessment. Hypotheses suggest that aggressive behavior is the result of a social skills deficit, positive or negative reinforcement, environmental deficits, or deficits in the cognitive processing of social stimuli. Changes in assessment strategies are proposed. (JDD)
