Abstract

Objective: Myriad psychological research evinces a negative association between self-control and aggression with some arguing for self-control failure as a cause of aggression. Recent literature suggests that the relationship between aggression and self-control is likely more complex and even positive in some cases. One source of such conflict in the literature could be the presence of unaccounted for random item slopes in commonly used measures of self-control which may inflate the likelihood of Type I errors. This study (N = 1386) tested the hypothesis that self-control would share random item slopes with the facets of trait aggression using random item slope regression.

Method: We measured trait aggression and self-control via two common self-reports: the Buss-Perry Questionnaire and the Brief Self-Control Scale.

Results: Our analyses revealed that the facets of trait aggression shared significant random item slopes with self-control and that many of these slopes were positive, rather than negative. We also found that Type I error inflation was evident in models that did not account for these random slopes.

Conclusions: These findings may in part explain some of the conflicting results in the literature and that researchers interested in studying self-control and aggression should test for random item slopes.

利用随机项目斜率回归法澄清特质攻击与自我控制之间的关系。
目的:大量心理学研究表明,自我控制与攻击行为之间存在负相关,有些人认为自我控制失效是攻击行为的原因之一。最近的文献表明,攻击性与自我控制之间的关系可能更为复杂,在某些情况下甚至是正相关的。文献中出现这种冲突的一个原因可能是,在常用的自我控制测量中存在未考虑的随机项目斜率,这可能会增加 I 类错误的可能性。本研究(N = 1386)使用随机项目斜率回归法检验了自我控制与特质攻击各面共享随机项目斜率的假设:我们通过两种常见的自我报告来测量特质攻击和自我控制:布斯-佩里问卷和简易自我控制量表:我们的分析表明,特质攻击性的各个侧面与自我控制有着显著的随机项目斜率,而且其中许多斜率是正的,而不是负的。我们还发现,在没有考虑到这些随机斜率的模型中,I 类错误膨胀非常明显:这些发现在一定程度上解释了文献中一些相互矛盾的结果,有兴趣研究自我控制和攻击行为的研究人员应该对随机项目斜率进行测试。
