WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Bass-Perry Aggression Questionnaire, BPAQ-24 Test

Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire (BPAQ-24) Test - Symptoms and Signs

aggressiveness
anger
hostility

This self-report measure is used to assess aggression-related tendencies across multiple domains. The Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire (BPAQ-24) is commonly administered in clinical and research contexts to support screening and baseline characterization.

It consists of 24 items and typically takes about 5 minutes to complete. Items are designed to capture dimensions such as physical aggression, anger, and hostility, providing a brief profile of aggression-related affect, cognition, and behavioral readiness. Results are generally interpreted in conjunction with clinical interview data and other measures rather than as a standalone indicator.

The Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire (BPAQ-24) is attributed to Mark Perry and is intended to support efficient assessment when a focused appraisal of aggression-related characteristics is clinically relevant.
