description Aggression is an important problem of adolescents, the understanding of this phenomenon is crucial. The purpose of this study is to analyze the structural validity and invariance of the Reactive/Proactive Aggression Questionnaire (RPQ) in institutionalized and non-institutionalized adolescents from Lima. 344 male adolescents were selected, among 15 and 17 years old (Mage = 16.055, SDage = .674), 51.16% were institutionalized in a youth center for diagnosis and social rehabilitation due to conflicts with criminal law. The results show that the two-dimensional model of the RPQ presents relatively acceptable fit indices (SB-χ2 = 461.463(229), CFI = .914, RMSEA = .054 [.047-.062]). Additionally, the configurational, metric, scalar and strict invariance was established in both groups. Adequate omega coefficients are reported for reactive aggression (ω = .797) and proactive aggression (ω = .837). It is concluded that the RPQ is a two-dimensional, parsimonious, and interpretable measure that determines reactive and proactive aggression in the aforementioned adolescents.

La agresión es una problemática de importancia para los adolescentes, por ello, la comprensión de este fenómeno es crucial. El propósito de este estudio es analizar la validez estructural y la invarianza del Reactive/Proactive Aggression Questionnaire (RPQ) en adolescentes limeños institucionalizados y no institucionalizados. Se seleccionaron 344 adolescentes hombres, entre 15 y 17 años (Medad = 16.055, DEedad = .674), el 51.16% se encontraban institucionalizados en un centro juvenil de diagnóstico y rehabilitación social debido a conflictos con la ley penal. Los resultados muestran que el modelo bidimensional del RPQ presenta índices de ajuste relativamente aceptables (SB-χ2 = 461.463(229), CFI = .914, RMSEA = .054 [.047-.062]). Además, en ambos grupos, se estableció la invarianza configuracional, métrica, escalar y estricta. Se reportan coeficientes omega adecuados para la agresión reactiva (ω = .797) y agresión proactiva (ω = .837). Se concluye que el RPQ es una medida bidimensional, parsimoniosa e interpretable que mide la agresión reactiva y proactiva en los adolescentes ya mencionados.
