Abstract

The Displaced Aggression Questionnaire (DAQ) is an

instrument that assesses personality differences in the tendency to displace

aggression. This scale is composed of three factors: angry rumination

(as affective dimension), revenge planning (as cognitive dimension),

and general tendency to engage in displaced aggression (as a behavioral

dimension). The present study examined the validity and reliability of

the Spanish version of the DAQ. Method: The sample consisted of 429

student and non-student participants. Results: The results showed good

psychometric properties, and factor analyses revealed a clear three-factor

structure. Further, preliminary data about associations between DAQ

scores and indirect aggression and emotion regulation strategies are

shown. Conclusions: The scale presents adequate evidence for potential

use in a Spanish population. We discuss its utility for research on different

types of aggression (e.g., domestic abuse).
