Employing a multistage cluster sampling procedure, a group of highly, yet almost exclusively, relationally aggressive females were identified and matched on a number of variables to a group of nonaggressive females. Parents of the students in both groups completed the Coolidge Personality and Neuropsychological Inventory, a 200-item DSM-IV-TR aligned, parent-asrespondent, standardized measure of children’s psychological functioning. It was found that high levels of relational aggression, in the absence of physical and verbal aggression, were associated with symptoms of DSM-IV-TR Axis I oppositional defiant disorder and conduct disorder. The highly relationally aggressive group also exhibited a wide variety of personality traits associated with DSM-IV-TR Axis II paranoid, borderline, narcissistic, histrionic, schizotypal, and passive aggressive personality disorders that were not exhibited by the matched controls. Implications of these findings are discussed.  \nKeywords: Maladaptive personality, relational aggression, adolescent girls, personality disorder, psychopathology  \nMichael Savage is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Graduate and Undergraduate Studies in Education at Brock University.

This concern is reflected in the empirical research being conducted on the negative trajectories of females (e.g., Cote et al., 2001; Moffitt, Caspi, Rutter, & Silva, 2001) as well as in the media attention they have been receiving. The latter has largely been fueled by dramatic and tragic events that have involved adolescent girls, such as the brutal death of Reena Virk (Tafler, 1998) . Teachers, juvenile justice workers, and mental health professionals who work with these troubled girls argue that the risk factors, characteristics, and outcomes for disruptive behaviors may differ in males and females (Chamberlain & Reid, 1994) . Therefore a better understanding of the sex differences in antisocial behavior should be a priority, especially as they relate to their interpersonal relationships.  \nSome researchers, such as Crick and Grotpeter (1995), propose that the sex differences in the rates of antisocial behaviors may be explained by males’ propensity to use greater amounts of physical aggression and females' tendency to use relational aggression to express anger or inflict harm.

(1999) defined relational aggression as \"behaviors that harm others through damage (or the threat of damage) to re","cbCaiejxjhahSN7W","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiejxjhahSN7W","pdf",522441,18,"English","# Abstract\n## Study design and sampling\n## Measures and assessment\n## Key findings on DSM-IV-TR symptoms\n## Personality traits and clinical implications","[{\"question\":\"How were highly relationally aggressive adolescent girls identified in the study?\",\"answer\":\"The study used multistage cluster sampling to identify a group of highly, predominantly relationally aggressive girls and match them with controls on multiple variables.\"},{\"question\":\"What assessment tool was used to evaluate psychological functioning?\",\"answer\":\"Parents in both groups completed the Coolidge Personality and Neuropsychological Inventory, a 200-item measure aligned with DSM-IV-TR.\"},{\"question\":\"Which DSM-IV-TR conditions and personality disorder traits were linked to high relational aggression?\",\"answer\":\"High relational aggression was associated with Axis I oppositional defiant disorder and conduct disorder, and the aggressive group showed a wider range of Axis II traits such as paranoid, borderline, narcissistic, histrionic, schizotypal, and passive aggressive personality patterns.\"}]","Maladaptive Personality and Neuropsychological Features of Highly Relationally Aggressive Adolescent Girls | PDF",1792079638,45]
