La agresividad infantil constituye una problematica creciente en la sociedad. La investigacion se llevo a cabo con el objetivo de describir la comprension emocional en los escolares de 8-10 anos con manifestaciones agresivas. Se empleo un enfoque mixto de investigacion a traves de un diseno trasformativo concurrente con predominancia cuantitativa (DISTRACT-CUAN) y un tipo de estudio exploratorio descriptivo. La muestra fue de 25 ninos, seleccionada a partir de un muestreo intencional. Estos fueron comparados con 25 ninos sin manifestaciones agresivas, con caracteristicas sociodemograficas similares. Se emplearon las tecnicas siguientes: Cuestionario de Emociones Infantil (CEI), Test de Comprension Emocional de Harris y Pons y Escala de Agresividad de Little et al. (2003), ademas de la entrevista y la observacion. Para el procesamiento de la informacion se utilizo el analisis de contenido y la estadistica descriptiva e inferencial. Las principales emociones identificadas fueron alegria, ira, ansiedad y tristeza. Las dificultades en la comprension emocional se vincularon con la tendencia a identificar, pero no nombrar las emociones, el nivel de comprension mas afectado fue el reflexivo en sus tres componentes. Con respecto a las manifestaciones agresivas predomina segun su forma la agresividad directa ya sea fisica o verbal y segun su funcion predomina la agresividad reactiva. En la comparacion con sus etarios sin manifestaciones agresivas se apreciaron diferencias significativas, donde estos obtuvieron niveles generales de comprension emocional mas bajos sobre todo en aquellos componentes asociados a la comprension de emociones morales y en las estrategias de regulacion emocional.

With respect to aggressive manifestations, direct aggressiveness, whether physical or verbal, predominates depending on its form, and reactive aggressiveness predominates according to its function.
