| The following questions arise for the study: A) Is there a positive correlation between proactive aggression and difficulty index? B) Can a negative correlation of empathy and difficulty index as well as a positive correlation of empathy and heart rate be detected? C) Are there positive correlations between externalizing or impulsive behaviors and the difficulty index? D) Can negative and positive correlations of difficulty index and personality factors be found, such as a negative correlation of agreeableness and difficulty index? The following questionnaires are used to investigate these correlations: - "Differentieller Aggressionsfragebogen" (DAF) (Petermann & Beckers, 2014) - "Agression Questionnaire" (AQ1) (Herzberg, 2013) - "Barrat Impulsiveness Scale - Kurzversion" (BIS-15) (Meule et al., 2011) - "Big Five Inventory für Kinder und Jugendliche" (BFI-K KJ) (Kupfer et al., 2019) - "Junior Temperament und Charakter Inventar" (JTCI 12-18 R) (Goth & Schmeck, 2009) - "Cognitive, Affective, and Somatic Empathy Scales" (CASES) (Raine & Chen, 2018) - "Saarbrückener Persönlichkeitsfragebogen" (SPF-IRI) (Paulus, 2009) - "Perth Alexithymia Questionnaire" (PAQ) (Preece et al., 2018) - "Autismus-Spektrum Quotient" (AQ2) (Baron-Cohen et al., 2006) - "Child Behavior Checklist" (CBCL/6-18R) (Döpfner et al., 2015) - "Youth Self-Report" (YSR/11-18R) (Döpfner et al., 2015) | — |

| Within the consideration of the relationship between empathy and personality, a negative correlation of agreeableness (BFI) and difficulty index and a positive correlation of neuroticism (BFI) and difficulty index are expected. In addition, a negative correlation of character maturity (JTCI) and difficulty index is postulated. Difficulty index should positively correlate with sum score of proactive aggression (DAF). At the same time, a negative correlation of heart rate and difficulty index is expected. In addition, the correlation of aggression and different behaviors will be considered. A positive correlation of externalizing/impulsive behaviors (BIS-15, YSR/11-18R) with difficulty index is predicted. | — |
