Abstract

The craniofacial features of a person are unique and critical in the evaluation of age, gender, and ethnicity. The relationships between craniofacial properties and behavioral patterns have been one of the most interesting research topics. This study aimed to identify the correlation between the tendency for aggression and craniofacial anthropometric measurements among a sample of the Egyptian population aged 18-38 years. This was a case-control prospective study involving one hundred twenty-seven (127) subjects (61 males and 66 females). The subjects were divided according to the results of the brief aggression questionnaire (BAQ) score into 2 groups: the aggressive group (61 subjects) and the nonaggressive group (66 subjects). Demographic data and craniofacial anthropometric data were collected from all individuals. The total aggression score among males was positively correlated with head circumference and cranial width, while the physical aggression score was positively correlated with facial length, and the anger score. The verbal aggression score was positively correlated with frontal height in females. The total aggression score was positively correlated with cranial length and facial width, while the physical aggression score and hostility score were positively correlated with frontal height and cranial width, respectively. Craniofacial measurements were found to be correlated with various aggression subdomains of the BAQ among the Egyptian population sample. Our research sheds light on the possibility of using craniofacial dimensions as a tool for predicting aggressive behavior.
