Correlations between Childhood Aggression and Physical Health: Does the more Aggressive Child show a prevalence of Childhood Diseases?
Michael A. Adams II
This study will examine the level of aggression in males aged 5-10 from the IU-20 school district in Pennsylvania correlated against the prevalence of childhood diseases in their medical records. The teacher and parent will be given the Behavior Dimensions Rating Scale (BDRS) to test informant views of the child’s aggression. Finally a child’s medical history questionnaire will be administered to the parents. This study will focus on the more immediate effects of the aggressive lifestyle on children instead of the widespread traditional focuses on the child’s future. It is hypothesized that more aggressively rated a child is, the higher the prevalence of childhood diseases on the medical questionnaire.
