SALAS-MENOTTI, Irene. Psychological meaning of violence and aggression in a colombian urban sample. Diversitas [online]. 2008, vol.4, n.2, pp. 331-343. ISSN 1794-9998.

The main objective of this study was to identify the psychological meaning of violence and aggression in a Colombian urban sample, as well as to determine the similarities and differences regarding age and gender. 485 men and women participated, with ages ranging from 12 trough 74 years. The Modified Natural Semantic Networks technique was used and it established that individuals are able to distinguish violence from aggression on the basis of the affective and behavioral responses typically associated to each one of them, nonetheless, the two concepts overlap in their psychological meaning, and they are used indifferently in everyday language.

Palavras-chave : Violence; Aggression; Psychological meaning; Semantic networks.
