It is used to identify and evaluate the risk of aggressive behavior, as well as to inform the design of interventions and treatments aimed at reducing such behavior. The Aggression Scale is a self-report instrument that asks individuals to assess the frequency and intensity of their aggressive actions.

Purpose

Scoring and Statistical Analysis

The TAS-11 Scale includes 11 items. It consists of five subscales: physical aggression, verbal aggression, indirect aggression, anger, and impulsive behavior. For each question, respondents indicate how many times they engaged in a behavior during the past 7 days. Frequency options: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6+. The scale is scored by summing all responses. The total possible score ranges from 0 to 66. Each point represents an aggressive behavior the student reported exhibiting in the week prior to the assessment. If four or more questions are missing, a score cannot be calculated. If three or fewer questions are missing, those values are replaced with the respondent’s average score.
