Abstract

Introduction: The affective profiles, obtained through the combination of positive affect (PA) and negative affect (NA), help to identify affective characteristics in individuals that can be used to prevent possible future problematic situations or intervene in them. In this sense, the study about the relationship between affective profiles an aggression is understood as essential. Methodology: Consequently, the current study intents to identify affective profiles in a sample of 634 Spanish adolescents through the non-hierarchical cluster method and differences between the identified profiles through MANOVA are going to be checked in the aggression scores. Results: The results identified four affective profiles: self-fulfilling (PA high and NA low), self-destructive (PA low and NA high), high affect (PA and NA high) and low affect (PA and NA low). Besides, the self-fulfilling profile obtainede the lowest scores in aggression, whereas the self-destructive obtained the highest scores. Discussions: These findings continue identifying the self-fulfilling profiles as an adaptive profile and the self-destructive profile as a maladaptive profile. Conclusions: It is important to promote the self-fulfilling profile in the students to avoid possible aggressive and problematic situations, whereas the self-destructive should be identified and reduced.
