![]() ![]() ![]() The findings support the 4-factor structure of the BAQ-Turkish Version, as originally reported (Buss and Perry 1992), and show that the BAQ-Turkish Version is a reliable and valid instrument for measuring aggression in the Turkish population. All BAQ-Turkish Version subscales were strongly inter-correlated. Only 1 significant gender difference was observed-males had significantly higher physical aggression scores than females. The scale was observed to have high internal consistency and appropriate stability over a 4-week period. CONCLUSION: The Tamil version of Buss Perry Aggression Questionnaire has been found to be reliable & discriminant validity has been established. The scale's criterion validity and gender differences were examined. To determine the scale's reliability internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha), test-retest, and split-half methods were used. To determine the test-retest reliability of the BAQ-Turkish Version the scale was administered twice (with a 4-week interval) to 53 of the participants. In order to determine the criterion validity of the BAQ-Turkish Version, its correlation with the Multidimensional Anger Scale anger-related behaviors subscale (Balkaya and Şahin 2003) was determined. The study included 220 students from 2 universities. The BAQ was translated from English to Turkish by a bilingual individual, and then independently translated back to English by another bilingual individual. The aim of the present study was to develop, and assess the validity and reliability of the Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire (BAQ)-Turkish Version. ![]()
