Resumen
Reactive and proactive aggression are two of the main types of aggression identified in bullying. Some research suggests that self-control contributes to a decrease in proactive and reactive aggression. However, studies that have investigated the relationships of these variables with self-control in the Mexican context are scarce. The aim of this study was to explore the relationships between self-control with reactive and proactive aggression in Mexican adolescents. The sample was selected in a non-probabilistic way, the participants in this study were 300 adolescents with ages between 12 and 18 (M age = 14, SD = 1.55), 147 (49 %) were male, while 153 (51 %) were female. Self-control was measured with the subscale Values in Action Inventory of Strengths (VIA-Youth; Park & Peterson, 2006), for reactive and proactive aggression we use the Reactive and Proactive Aggression Questionnaire (QRP; Raine et al., 2006). Results indicate that self-control was negatively and significantly related to reactive and proactive aggression. This may indicate that adolescents with a higher level of self-control have a lower frequency of proactive aggression. this study contributes to understand the different types of aggression in school bullying in adolescents. In addition, the results suggest that self-control may decrease peer aggression. La agresión reactiva y proactiva son dos de los principales tipos de agresión que se identifican en el acoso escolar. Algunas investigaciones sugieren que el autocontrol contribuye a la disminución de la agresión proactiva y reactiva; sin embargo, son escasos los estudios que han indagado en las relaciones de estas variables con el autocontrol en el contexto mexicano.El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo explorar las relaciones entre el autocontrol con la agresión reactiva y proactiva en adolescentes mexicanos. La muestra se seleccionó de forma no probabilística, participaron 300 adolescentes con edades entre 12 y 18 años (M edad = 14 años, DE = 1.55), 147 (49 %) del sexo masculino y 153 (51 %) del femenino. El autocontrol se midió con la subescala del instrumento Values in Action Inventory of Strengths (VIA-Youth; Park & Peterson, 2006), para la agresión reactiva y proactiva se utilizó el Cuestionario de Agresión Reactiva y proactiva (QRP; Raine et al., 2006). Se encontró que el autocontrol se relacionó de manera negativa y significativa con la agresión reactiva y proactiva. Estos resultados podrían indicar que, los adolescentes que tienen un mayor nivel de autocontrol, presentan menor frecuencia de agresión proactiva. El presente contribuye a la compresión de los distintos tipos de agresión en el acoso escolar en adolescentes. Además, los resultados sugieren que el autocontrol pudiera disminuir la agresión entre pares
