초록

It had been proven extremely difficult in the past to estimate the prevalence of physical aggression for two main reasons: (a) a heterogeneous sampling of behaviors (i.e., mixed between physically aggressive and non-physically aggressive behaviors), and (b) the lack of a 'gold standard' to identify physically aggressive children. The goal of this study was to obtain unbiased estimates of age differences for the prevalence of physical aggression in the Canadian population of school-aged children, using cross-sectional data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth (NLSCY). The first wave of the NLSCY included a representative sample of 12,292 Canadian children aged 5 to 11 years old. We used Latent Class Analysis (LCA) to identify children whose propensity to manifest physically aggressive behaviors is much higher than that for other children of the same age and sex in the population. The prevalence of physical aggression was 3.7% in 5-11 year-old boys and ranged from 0.5% (11 year-old) to 2.3% (5 year-old) in girls. Hence, there was a decreasing trend in the prevalence of physical aggression with age for girls, but not for boys. These findings suggest the importance of considering the developmental pathways of physical aggression for boys and girls separately.

Abstract

It had been proven extremely difficult in the past to estimate the prevalence of physical aggression for two main reasons: (a) a heterogeneous sampling of behaviors (i.e., mixed between physically aggressive and non-physically aggressive behaviors), and (b) the lack of a 'gold standard' to identify physically aggressive children. The goal of this study was to obtain unbiased estimates of age differences for the prevalence of physical aggression in the Canadian population of school-aged children, using cross-sectional data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth (NLSCY). The first wave of the NLSCY included a representative sample of 12,292 Canadian children aged 5 to 11 years old. We used Latent Class Analysis (LCA) to identify children whose propensity to manifest physically aggressive behaviors is much higher than that for other children of the same age and sex in the population. The prevalence of physical aggression was 3.7% in 5-11 year-old boys and ranged from 0.5% (11 year-old) to 2.3% (5 year-old) in girls. Hence, there was a decreasing trend in the prevalence of physical aggression with age for girls, but not for boys. These findings suggest the importance of considering the developmental pathways of physical aggression for boys and girls separately.
