An Aggressiveness Level Analysis Based On Buss Perry Questionnaire (BPQ) And Brain Signal (EEG)

Aggression is the most important human aspects that make daily things possible for individuals, to succeed and have a better level of behaviour. Aggression is feelings of anger or antipathy resulting in hostile or violent behaviour. The importance of aggression is to increase an individual dominance of the subject in their social environment. Traditionally, the subject’s aggression is usually measured by using a survey through Buss-Perry Questionnaire (BPQ). Considering the variability of the aggressiveness level, this study proposes investigation of aggression by using BPQ and Electroencephalography (EEG) to evaluate the aggressiveness level of the subjects. The results of the BPQ are analysed based on the final score that are responded by the subjects. In EEG experiment, the evaluation of subject’s aggressiveness while playing a smart phone game “Subway Surfers”, a basic method has been employed, namely correlation coefficient method. The EEG signals are recorded while the subject playing the game. The number of subjects involves in the experiment is 9 and they are the UniMAP’s male students at the age of 21-25 years old. In the analysis, the induced aggression is compared between BPQ with Net Aggressiveness Index (NAI), which is obtained from brain signals (EEG). The BPQ obtains the subjects #2 and subject #8 are the highest Buss-Perry Aggresinenes Index (BPAI) scores, which are 0.32244 and 0.32223 respectively. Meanwhile in EEG analysis the subject #8 only achieves the highest score of 0.34713. From the results of the investigation, it could be concluded that the use of EEG to identify the aggressiveness level will overcome the disadvantage of the conventional methods.
