Its measurement may, however, have profound implications for treatment planning. We need more knowledge about how different methods for assessing aggression relate to each other.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Aims<\/jats:title><jats:p>Our aims were to investigate, first, the convergence and concordance of two methods of assessing aggression: self\u2010report and clinical assessment and, second, to determine the degree to which aggression can be discriminated from neighbouring constructs, such as hostility, anger and criminal behaviour.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A nationally representative Swedish cohort of 269 18\u201325\u2010year\u2010old incarcerated violent offenders was recruited. Data were collected through structured self\u2010reports of aggression, anger and hostility traits (Aggression Questionnaire\u2010Revised Swedish Version) and clinical assessments of lifetime prevalence of aggressive and antisocial behaviours (Life History of Aggression). Criminal records were retrieved from the Swedish National Crime Register.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Self\u2010ratings and clinician\u2010ratings of aggression were highly convergent and concordant, especially regarding physical aggression. Violent offence records were weakly, if at all, correlated, while self\u2010reported hostility was weakly, or not at all, correlated with self\u2010reported or with clinician\u2010rated aggression. There was an inverse relationship between aggression and criminal records of sexual offences.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions and Implications<\/jats:title><jats:p>Even though a combination of self\u2010reports and clinician\u2010ratings may provide a better overview of an individual's aggressive behaviours, our results indicate that they yield such similar information that either alone would be sensitive enough. Our results do not, however, support using one of these methods as a proxy for the other since choice of measure and accepted concordance between them depend on the context within which the assessment is conducted. We reconfirmed that official records of violent offending are unlikely to be adequate measures of outcome after interventions to reduce aggressive behaviours.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/cbm.2201","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,24]],"date-time":"2021-05-24T12:19:57Z","timestamp":1621858797000},"page":"198-210","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Self\u2010report versus clinician\u2010ratings in the assessment of aggression in violent offenders"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"31","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5081-0058","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Johan","family":"Berlin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Sciences Lund Lund Clinical Research on Externalizing and Developmental Psychopathology (LU\u2010CRED) Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Lund University  Lund Sweden"},{"name":"Department of Psychiatry and Neurochemistry Centre of Ethics, Law and Mental Health (CELAM) Institute of Neuroscience and Physiology The Sahlgrenska Academy at University of Gothenburg  Gothenburg Sweden"},{"name":"Research Department Regional Forensic Psychiatric Clinic  V\u00e4xj\u00f6 Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7984-1985","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andr\u00e9","family":"T\u00e4rnh\u00e4ll","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Sciences Lund Lund Clinical Research on Externalizing and Developmental Psychopathology (LU\u2010CRED) Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Lund University  Lund Sweden"},{"name":"Department of Psychiatry and Neurochemistry Centre of Ethics, Law and Mental Health (CELAM) Institute of Neuroscience and Physiology The Sahlgrenska Academy at University of Gothenburg  Gothenburg Sweden"},{"name":"Department of Adult Psychiatry  Region Sk\u00e5ne Trelleborg Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bj\u00f6rn","family":"Hofvander","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Sciences Lund Lund Clinical Research on Externalizing and Developmental Psychopathology (LU\u2010CRED) Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Lund University  Lund Sweden"},{"name":"Department of Psychiatry and Neurochemistry Centre of Ethics, Law and Mental Health (CELAM) Institute of Neuroscience and Physiology The Sahlgrenska Academy at University of Gothenburg  Gothenburg Sweden"},{"name":"Department of Forensic Psychiatry  Region Sk\u00e5ne Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M\u00e4rta","family":"Wallinius","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Sciences Lund Lund Clinical Research on Externalizing and Developmental Psychopathology (LU\u2010CRED) Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Lund University  Lund Sweden"},{"name":"Department of Psychiatry and Neurochemistry Centre of Ethics, Law and Mental Health (CELAM) Institute of Neuroscience and Physiology The Sahlgrenska Academy at University of Gothenburg  Gothenburg Sweden"},{"name":"Research Department Regional Forensic Psychiatric Clinic  V\u00e4xj\u00f6 Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.tjem.2018.08.001"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijlp.2009.04.001"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.paid.2012.01.029"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.psychres.2017.03.004"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0165-1781(79)90053-2"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/0022-3514.63.3.452"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/h0046016"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1094428110392383"},{"issue":"1","key":"e_1_2_9_10_1","first-page":"59","article-title":"The relationship of anger and cognitive distortions with violence in violent offenders\u2019 population: A meta\u2010analytic review","volume":"4","author":"Chereji S.
