This work reports a preliminary validation of the Peer Conflict Scale (PCS) for Portuguese young adults (ages 18–30 years). This instrument assesses aggression considering two of its forms (overt and relational aggression) and its two functions (reactive and proactive aggression). The initially proposed 4-factor model provided the best fit for our data and was partially invariant by sex. All subscales revealed good reliability based on internal consistency and test–retest indicators. Construct validity was obtained through the investigation of sex differences that align with previous findings on aggressive behavior and in relation to emotion regulation strategies. These initial results suggest that the PCS, originally designed for adolescents, is a promising tool to assess aggression in young adults, notwithstanding the need of additional psychometric studies to further establish the quality of this instrument.

Self-injurious thoughts and behaviors (SITB) increase dramatically across adolescence. Despite the prevalence and severity of these outcomes, remarkably little research has elucidated why adolescence represents a particularly high-risk period for the emergence of SITB. Recent theoretical models have posited that SITB may result from failures in biological stress regulation in the context of social stress. However, there is a lack of data examining these associations during the transition to adolescence, a sensitive period of development that is characterized by changes across socio-affective and psychophysiological domains that may interact to heighten risk for SITB. The present study used a prospective longitudinal design among 147 adolescents. We built on advantages offered by the RDoC framework to test the interaction of experiences of social conflict (i.e., parent and peer conflict) with cardiac arousal (i.e., resting heart rate) to predict adolescent non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) and suicidal ideation (SI) across one year. Longitudinal analyses revealed that while neither greater peer conflict nor higher cardiac arousal at baseline were associated with SITB outcomes at follow-up, adolescents experiencing the combination of greater peer conflict and higher cardiac arousal at baseline showed significant longitudinal increases in NSSI at follow-up. In addition, there were null effects for family conflict and SI outcomes. Findings indicate that youth with greater peer conflict and heightened arousal during the transition to adolescence may be at increased risk for NSSI. Future research should examine these processes at finer timescales in order to elucidate whether these factors are proximal predictors of within-day SITB.

El Peer Conflict Scale es una escala que nos permite la evaluación y cuantificación de la agresión de las diferentes formas de expresión, así como de los motivos que se esconden tras este tipo de conductas. Es por ello que, atendiendo a la necesidad de una evaluación conjunta de las diferentes formas en que se manifiesta la agresión entre adolescentes, así como al limitado número de instrumentos que atienden a este requerimiento, se lleva a cabo el presente trabajo, con el objetivo de validar la versión española del Peer Conflict Scale. Para ello, se utiliza una muestra de 822 alumnos de entre 13 y 18 años. Se analizan los 3 posibles modelos para la escala: el unidimensional, el que presenta 2 tipos de agresión (abierta y relacional), y el tercero, que presenta 4 tipos de agresión (agresión reactiva abierta, agresión reactiva relacional, agresión proactiva abierta y agresión proactiva relacional). Este último es el modelo que presenta el mejor nivel de ajuste y, por tanto, sería el modelo a aplicar en la población española de adolescentes.
