While aggressive behavior is common, and a disorder of impulsive aggression has been defined in the DSM-5 (Intermittent Explosive Disorder: IED), there are no currently FDA approved interventions to reduce these behaviors. One obstacle to the development of interventions to treat aggression is the paucity of psychometrically valid measures to assess aggressive behavior in the context of clinical trials, especially those in the outpatients setting. While there are many assessment of trait aggression, very few attempt to assess current aggressive behavior over time and/or in individuals not in a closed setting. The Overt Aggression Scale Modified (OAS-M) was developed to fill this void and this paper reviews its development along with presenting new data on its validity, reliability, and correlates with related constructs. Overall, the OAS-M is a valid and reliable measure of state (e.g., week to week) aggression, has good psychometric properties, and shows evidence of change in clinical trials of agents with putative anti-aggressive efficacy.

针对冲动攻击和间歇性爆炸性疾病的临床试验的公开攻击量表（OAS-M）：有效性，可靠性和相关性。

虽然攻击性行为很普遍，并且在DSM-5（间歇性爆炸性疾病：IED）中已定义了冲动性攻击疾病，但目前尚无FDA批准的干预措施来减少这些行为。发展治疗侵略性干预措施的一个障碍是缺乏足够的心理测量有效措施来评估临床试验（尤其是门诊患者）中的攻击行为。尽管有很多关于特质攻击的评估方法，但很少有人尝试评估一段时间内和/或未处于封闭环境中的个人当前的攻击行为。开发了公开的攻击量表（OAS-M）来填补这一空白，本文回顾了它的发展，并提出了有关其有效性，可靠性的新数据，并与相关结构进行了关联。总体，
