	%X This study is to fill up a research gap on examining the
differences in normative beliefs (namely acceptance of weaknesses,
acceptance of provoked aggression, and acceptance of unprovoked
aggression) among different subtypes of aggressors and
non-aggressors (reactive aggressors, proactive aggressors,
reactive-proactive aggressors, and non-aggressors). 2,236 students
(1,372 males and 864 females), aged from 11 to 18, completed a
self-reported questionnaire. Results revealed that (a) schoolchildren
with reactive-proactive aggression have the highest acceptance of
provoked aggression, the highest acceptance of unprovoked
aggression, and the lowest acceptance of weakness; (b) schoolchildren
with proactive aggression have higher acceptance of unprovoked
aggression and lower acceptance of weakness than reactive aggressors;
and (c) schoolchildren without aggression have the lowest acceptance
of provoked aggression, the lowest acceptance of unprovoked
aggression, and the highest acceptance of weakness.
