q3 i? Confirmatory factor analysis with 728 high school students showed all fit indices were superior for the two-factor reactive–proactive model compared to the one-factor model, with a significant reactive–proactive correlation (r = .66). → Uz Baş 2016

q3 · i? · associational · r2

CFA (LISREL 8.51, maximum likelihood) on the Turkish RPQ administered to 728 high school students aged 15 to 19, comparing a one-factor and a two-factor model (Table 1). The correlation between reactive and proactive aggression was significant (r = .66, p < .001).

"The results showed that the two-factor model fit the data significantly better than the one-factor model. All fit indices were superior for the two-factor model compared to the one-factor model."
