Abstract

Abstract: Aggressive traits and situational factors interact to influence the propensity for aggressive behavior. Individuals’ sensitivity to the situational factors' provocation and frustration are assessed by the Situational Triggers of Aggressive Responses (STAR) scale subscales sensitivity to provocation (SP) and sensitivity to frustration (SF). The aims of this paper were to (1) briefly summarize the basic theory supporting the STAR scale, (2) review previous cross-cultural findings for these STAR constructs, (3) discuss the Greek factorial structure and its cross-cultural validity, (4) describe the methodological-statistical and psychometric properties for a Greek normative sample ( N = 1,094), and (5) provide Greek norms and other application aspects regarding the STAR scale. The aforementioned are discussed in the context of both a broader methodological-statistical scope and an applied scope. Finally, and with respect to psychological intervention, a method that can be applied to any sample, independently of the existence of norms, is discussed, for multivariately identifying extreme SP and SF cases (outliers).
