Michel, Pace, Edun, Sawhney, and Thomas’s (2014) original thirty-item scale was later shortened to a more parsimonious eight-item scale (ABA-SF). This study addresses the adaptation and validation of the brief Aggressive Beliefs and Attitudes Scale to Spanish adolescents. The sample comprised a group of Spanish adolescents (N = 771, M age = 14.01 years). A total of two studies were undertaken: (1) the scale was translated into Spanish and its internal consistency, factorial structure and convergent validity were established; and (2) factorial analysis was undertaken to confirm the questionnaire. The results yielded high scores for internal consistency, reliability (α = 0.82; Ω = 0.83) and convergent validity. The examination of the underlying nomological network revealed links with positive and negative feelings, anxiety and aggression. According to the Exploratory Factorial Analysis (EFA), the aggregate variance of the factors in the scale was 65.814%, indicating that they can explain variations in aggression levels in adolescents. For its part, the Factorial Confirmatory Analysis (FCA) confirmed the match between the translation and the model, leading to a sustainable model composed by the three factors identified and eight items: χ2 (17) = 30.693; p < 0.001; χ2/gL = 1.805; CFI = 0.968; NFI = 0.837; TLI = 0.944; RMSEA = 0.060, IC del 95% (0.048–0.072). The short scale is easy to understand and quick to complete and is thus considered a useful instrument to assess aggression levels in adolescents. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/S46-20R info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 0.828 2022 Health, Toxicology and Mutagenesis 2022 Q2 Public Health, Environmental and Occupational Health 2022 Q2 Pollution 2022 Q2 5.4 2022 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Usán, Pablo Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0003-3789-3781 Quílez-Robres, Alberto Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0001-8473-8114 4009 735 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
