【Objective】 To describe the status of reactive aggression and proactive aggression among preschool children, and explore the relationship between children's aggressive behavior and family environment. 【Method】 In this investigation, 1 234 preschool children in ten kindergartens were rated by their teachers and parents using Aggressive Behavior - Teacher's Checklist, Family Environment Scale-Chinese Version (FES-CV) and a general questionnaire. 【Results】 Mean score of reactive aggression and proactive aggression among preschool children was 2.12±0.92 and 1.39±0.68 respectively, with the former was higher than the latter markedly. Reactive aggression was found correlated with proactive aggression significantly (r= 0.683,P<0.01). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that boys, lower education level of father, younger mother, and conflict and achievement orientation of family were risk factors of reactive aggression in preschool children, while boys, lower education level of father, younger mother, conflict of family, and children's long time of watching TV were risk factors of proactive aggression in preschool children. Preschool children had more reactive aggressive behavior than proactive aggressive behavior, with the two types of aggression correlated with each other. Boys showed more aggressive behaviors than girls, in both reactive and proactive aggression. 【Conclusions】 Family environment is closely related to preschool children's aggressive behavior. Therefore, prevention and intervention measures should focus on the type of aggression and its corresponding risk factors.
