Children exposed to higher levels of violence tend to be more aggressive. Specific mechanisms explaining this relationship are still being uncovered. This study sought to identify the relationship between exposure to community violence and reactive and proactive aggression, as well as cognitive and emotional variables mediating this relationship. Participants were 1,235 students (from fifth to ninth grade) from localities of Bogotá, Colombia, with varying levels of community violence. Analyses of self-reported measures confirmed significant associations between exposure to community violence and both reactive and proactive aggression. Normative beliefs supporting aggression, hostile attribution of intent, positive expectations for aggression, and lack of guilt after aggression, partially mediated these relationships, suggesting strategies for prevention.

In this article the author analyzes the mechanisms by which violence in the context where children grow (either political or common violence) can promote the learning of different kinds of aggressive behaviors. These aggressive behaviors can contribute, at their turn, to the reproduction of violence in that context, thus creating a cycle of violence. The article analyzes in particular two trajectories of this cycle, one related to reactive aggression and the other with instrumental aggression. It is shown that reactive aggression -- produced as a defensive response to a perceived or real aggression -- has social, cognitive and emotional dynamics different than those of instrumental aggression -- used as a mean to reach a goal without a previous provocation. Reactive and instrumental aggressions have also different origins and predict different future violent behaviors. Distinguishing between these two kinds of trajectories allows proposing different kinds of interventions to break the cycle of violence. In this way, it is possible to reduce the reproduction of violence in children even if political and common violence remain present in our context. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Communication styles are the three communication patterns that result from merging the verbal elements of communication, the non-verbal elements and the paraverbal elements. The objective of this study was to test what effect different communication styles have on attention performance in primary school children. We administered the assertive behavior scale for children (CABS), the symbol digit modalities test (SDMT) and the d2 attention test to a sample of 77 participants of primary school. A statistically significant and proportional correlation was found between the assertive communication style and the total number of correct answers of the SDMT. We also found positive correlations between the assertive communication style and d2 attention test performance. Children with an assertive communication style have better attention performance than children with passive or aggressive communication styles. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
