Sažetak
A multidimensional approach to studying aggressive behavior is based on a distinction between the various forms and various functions of aggression. Therefore, distinction is made between proactive open aggression, proactive relational aggression, reactive open aggression and reactive relational aggression. Biological factor which is often connected with mentioned types of aggression is reinforcement sensitivity. Namely, proneness to reward motivated behavior is related to proactive aggression while, disposition for anxiety and sensitivity to aversive stimuli is related to reactive aggression. Likewise, open aggression is related to low sensitivity to punishment while relational aggression is related to high sensitivity to punishment. Since gender differences in aforementioned types of aggression as well as in reinforcement sensitivity are not consistent, the goal of this research was to determine the role of gender in a relationship between reinforcement sensitivity and various types of aggression. The respondents were pupils of the third grade of secondary schools in the City of Zagreb (N=656). The data were collected through the method of self-completion questionnaire. The data were processed by using the following analyses to obtain statistics indicators: testing for significant differences, correlations, regression analysis, analysis of variance. Results have shown that relation between sensitivity to reward and proactive open aggression is higher among men while relation between sensitivity to punishment and reactive relational aggression is higher among women. The obtained results are explained within the reinforcement sensitivity theory and theory of social learning.
