- Da vitimação à agressão : relação entre experiências adversas na infância, vinculação, consumo de álcool e agressividadePublication . Silva, Daniela Alves da; Moreira, Diana Patrícia da Silva DiasThe present study explores the relationship between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), attachment styles, alcohol consumption, and aggression in a sample of 571 Portuguese adults (M = 29.64, SD = 12.55). Data were collected using a protocol consisting of a sociodemographic questionnaire, the The Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE), the Adult Attachment Scale-R (AAS-R), the The Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT), and the Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire (BPAQ). The results of the analyses indicate that both anxious and avoidant attachment styles are positively associated with aggression. Alcohol consumption is also positively related to aggression, whereas adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) show a more modest association. Significant differences in alcohol consumption were found across attachment styles, with higher levels among participants with an anxious attachment style. No significant differences were observed in the total number of ACEs across attachment styles, nor were there significant associations between ACEs and excessive alcohol consumption. Regarding sex differences, men reported significantly higher levels of alcohol consumption as well as physical and verbal aggression. Overall, the findings suggest that, among Portuguese adults, insecure attachment styles and alcohol consumption are important factors in explaining aggression, while the impact of ACEs appears to be less pronounced.
