Abstract: Several studies have shown that the relationships between intelligence and self-reported aggression are low or
non-existent.Most have focused on direct forms of aggression,which often have an impulsive component, unlike
indirect aggression, which is usually delayed and allows more time to find alternative solutions to the problem.
The present study analyses the relationships between differentmeasures of intelligence and an overall estimate
of “g” with direct and indirect forms of aggression and impulsivity in a sample of adolescents (N=532). The results
showed that impulsivity and intelligence showed a different pattern of relationshipswith different forms of
aggression.While intelligence measures were more related to indirect aggression, particularly to the g factor estimate,
impulsivity was more related to direct forms of aggression. Furthermore, the relationships observed between
aggression and intelligence cannot be explained by impulsivity having the same effect on both kinds of
measure and are independent of sex effects. Taking everything into account, intelligence should be regarded as
a relevant predictor for the prevention of aggressive behaviour in adolescents, particularly indirect aggression.
