Abstract
Deaf and hearing adults completed the Sleep Habits Questionnaire and Reactive-Proactive Aggression Questionnaire. Sleep quality correlated negatively and more strongly with reactive aggression in hearing participants but with proactive aggression in deaf participants. Poor sleep quality may primarily relate to fundamentally different motivations for aggression in deaf and hearing adults.
