✦ Synopsis

The authors used structural modeling to predict institutional aggression among male mentally ill oenders using the predictors of anger, antisocial personality style, current violent oense, ethnicity, and impulsivity. Measures included the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale, the Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire, the Personality Assessment Inventory, age, ethnicity, current violent oense, victim injury from current oense, and institutional incidents of physical and verbal aggression. The model ®t the data, and accounted for 94% and 87% of the variance of physical and verbal aggression, respectively. Results indicated anger, antisocial personality style, and impulsivity are stronger predictors of institutional aggression than are ethnicity and current violent oense; anger was the best predictor. Results suggest dynamic variables such as anger can be targeted for clinical intervention to reduce institutional violence.
