| description | The goal of this study is to show the relationship between the 5-factor model of personality and aggression in 54 suspects of domestic violence, between 23 and 68 years old, assessed in the Victims Information and Assistance Office (GIAV) within the Public Prosecutor’s Office. The results show us a positive correlation between neuroticism and physical aggression, anger, hostility, and total aggression score; a negative correlation between extraversion and physical aggression; a negative correlation between agreeableness and physical aggression, anger, and total aggression score; and a negative correlation between conscientiousness and physical aggression, anger, and total aggression score. Our results show the importance of studying the relationship between personality and aggressive behavior and allow us to understand and find assessment strategies (e.g., personality and aggressive behavior assessment) and prevention strategies for domestic violence. Therefore, we reinforce the relevance of continuing the study of this topic, which could strengthen a closer relationship between forensic psychology and law. |
