Antagonistic Behavior:
The goal of this assessment is to identify where a person is along a continuum
from being too soft, giving, and warm to aggressive, easily angered, and ultimately harassing or even
prone to violent behavior. Scales that only measure potential harassment
or violence (negative end) run a major risk since they are looking for overt
behavior that most people do not like to admit or claim. Therefore, if you can
get a feel for where a person is located along a scale from very meek to
physically aggressive, you have a better sense for the likelihood of socially
abusive or antagonistic behavior. Actually displaying antagonistic behavior is
multi-determined but it is realistic to assume that people with higher scores
are more likely to exhibit overt abusive behavior. Additionally, since claiming
or admitting abusive behavior is not socially desirable, an honesty scale is
included to pick up a bias where people may distort the way they really are but
claim the opposite.
NOTE: The first two scales tend to show meekness, the next two show a more
assertive/aggressive stance and the next two actually tap into the likelihood
(or actual claiming) of abusive behavior. |
