Buss and Perry Aggression Questionnaire (AQ) has been extensively used in literature for measuring aggression
in children and adolescents. The purpose of the present study was to translate and validate the Buss and Perry
29 items Aggression Questionnaire and to examine its measurement model with originally postulated factorial
structure given by Buss and Perry (1992). The scale was translated from English to Urdu through standardized
forward backward translation procedure. To determine the measurement model of the translated scale, the data
was subjected to confirmatory factor analysis to assess its factorial structure on Pakistani children. Construct
validity of the scale was determined through convergent and discriminant analysis. Moreover, internal
reliability and gender differences were also examined in the present study. The results of the measurement
model suggested through confirmatory factor analysis revealed four factor solution of AQ originally suggested
by Buss and Perry Aggression Questionnaire. The results of the reliability and validity analyses showed that the
scale is highly reliable and valid for screening aggression in children of Pakistan. Gender differences have also
been discussed in the light of the present research.
