Both forms of aggression are correlated with internalising problems (such as anxiety and depression symptoms), although there has been found more scientific evidence for reactive aggression. However, internalising problems are less visible to the outside eye in comparison to externalising problems such as aggression, and therefore more overlooked in this sample. Consequently, the current study examined the relation between both forms of aggression and internalising problems in a sample of 28 male adolescents with conduct disorder and callous-unemotional traits (ages 15 to 19). These youths self-reported on their aggression and internalising problems through the YSR and RPQ and the callous-unemotional traits were established through the ICU. Inconsistent with previous research, all forms of aggression were not significantly correlated with internalising problems. This suggests that both constructs should be treated separately in interventions. This research offers a different view to the current knowledge of aggression and internalising problems in youth with conduct disorder and callous-unemotional traits. Further research with a larger sample and perhaps different research design is necessary to provide more insight and to draw better conclusions.Show less
