First of all, we analyzed the correlation betweenratings from different sources (children or teachers). Cultural differences were also discussedwith regards to a sample of 50 children and adolescents, 25 Peruvians and 25 Spanish.Data showed non-significan! differences in Aggressiveness between children and teachers' ratings.Nevertheless, the correlation is higher between Peruvian children and teachers than betweenSpanish ones.
