Validated in Lebanon [79], the Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire-Short Form (BPAQ-SF) [80] is a short version of the BPAQ and consists of 12 Likert-type items rated on a 5-point ordinal scale and organized into four scales of three items each: Physical Aggression, Verbal Aggression, Anger, and Hostility. Bryant and Smith (2001) decided to change the original 5-point scale to a 6-point scale to eliminate the scale’s midpoint and force respondents to decide whether each statement was characteristic of them. Higher scores indicate higher levels of aggression. The Cronbach’s alpha values were as follows: physical aggression (α = 0.66), verbal aggression (α = 0.55), hostility (α = 0.72) and anger (α = 0.71).

The SAS, validated in Lebanon [81], is a ten-item scale used to evaluate SA among adolescents [82]. The total score was computed by adding the answers of these 10 items, with higher scores reflecting higher SA (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.90).
