AGG is one of the Externalizing Specific Problems scales linked conceptually and empirically to RC9. Empirical correlates of this scale include a history of violent behavior toward others, being abusive, and experiencing anger-related problems. AGGR is a PSY-5 scale designed to assess instrumentally aggressive (forcefully assertive) behavior. Empirical correlates of this scale include being overly assertive and socially dominant, believing one has leadership abilities, and being viewed by others as domineering.
