A total of 663 participants aged 8 to 21 completed a self-report questionnaire designed to measure the justification of eight aggressive acts in six social situations. The results showed that adolescents justified both physical and verbal aggression more easily than children in a wide range of situations. As expected, boys justified physical aggression more easily than girls; however, no differences appeared in regard to verbal aggression. Unexpectedly, no statistically important differences were found in the justification of aggression related to the socioeconomic status of the participants. These findings are discussed in terms of previous studies from other cultures, in the hope of contributing to a deeper knowledge of the complex phenomenon of aggression. eng Justification of Physical and Verbal Aggression in Uruguayan Children, and Adolescents journal article URL https://docta.ucm.es/bitstreams/0fad5134-97ff-47e9-8447-ca2a49d4f233/download File MD5 a4d09e9f00eddb7a46edf7f0b72244a2 972934 application/pdf 392_TOPSYJ_Uruguay_CAMA.pdf URL https://docta.ucm.es/bitstreams/be63e2a3-54bd-46e6-9f18-dceef6081005/download File MD5 cdfe820dca62945fa45b966319c8e53e 58561 text/plain 392_TOPSYJ_Uruguay_CAMA.pdf.txt
