The focus has mainly been on participants' perceptions of others' behaviour within conflict situations. The present exploratory study aims to compliment existing research by exploring social cognitive factors that may influence how individuals respond to conflict. METHODS Study was carried out…

From causes of aggression to interventions: The importance of context
The Social Information Processing model as a framework for explaining frequent aggression in adults with mild to moderate intellectual disabilities: a systematic review of the evidence.
TLDR
A systematic review of the available evidence was carried out to establish whether SIP offers a useful explanatory model for understanding the contribution of social cognitive factors to problems of aggression presented by people with intellectual disabilities.
Social cognition in intellectually disabled male criminal offenders: a deficit in affect perception?
Purpose Although intellectual disability (ID) and criminal offending have long been associated, the nature of this link is obfuscated by reliance on historically unrigorous means of…
A longitudinal observational study of aggressive behaviour in adults with intellectual disabilities
TLDR
A clinical profile of topography of aggressive behaviour, including risk factor profile among adults with ID may guide interventions and inform service provision.
Exploring the ability of individuals with an intellectual disability to generate and use a compassionate image.
TLDR
The participants' success in generating compassionate images suggests this approach may have clinical utility with people who have intellectual disabilities, and whether this client group can use this technique to deal with personally salient stressors.
The Clinical Utility of Social Information Processing Theory in Assessing and Treating Offenders with Autism Spectrum Disorder
Purpose Social deficits are central within conceptualisations of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and separately linked to offending behaviour. Social problem-solving interventions are often…
The psychometric assessment of offenders with an intellectual disability
Two psychometric assessments, developed for use with mainstream offenders of normal intelligence, measuring impulsivity and locus of control respectively, were adapted for use with offenders with an…

Experiences of, and attitudes towards, growing up and adulthood : a comparative study of young people with and without mild intellectual disabilities

Facing stress and conflict: a comparison of the predicted responses and self-concepts of aggressive and non-aggressive people with intellectual disability.
TLDR
While nine out of the 10 Ag participants described incidents where they felt treated in a derogatory manner which could be linked to their disability, only two of the nine NAg participants felt slighted in this fashion, suggesting a vulnerable sense of self could contribute to greater sensitivity in interpersonal situations, increasing the likelihood of an aggressive response.
Contingent reinforcement or defending the self? A review of evolving models of aggression in people with mild learning disabilities.
TLDR
It is argued that much of the literature implicitly utilizes the concept of self, and it is suggested that this should be made explicit in a reformulated theory of the 'person', incorporating the self concept and embedding individual cognitive processes and behaviour in a social context.
Cognitive social learning mediators of aggression.
TLDR
It was concluded that children'sknowledge of their capabilities and children's knowledge of the consequences of their actions are factors that need to be taken into account by cognitive models of aggression.
Individual cognitive-behavioural anger treatment for people with mild-borderline intellectual disabilities and histories of aggression: a controlled trial.
TLDR
Detained men with mild-moderate intellectual disabilities and histories of severe aggression can successfully engage in, and benefit from, an intensive individual cognitive-behavioural anger treatment that also appears to have beneficial systemic effects.
Cognitive-behavioural treatment of anger intensity among offenders with intellectual disabilities
TLDR
Detained offenders with intellectual disabilities can benefit from intensive individual cognitive–behavioural anger treatment, as well as being an important element of clinical distress related to adverse life experiences.
Attribution of intent and role-taking: cognitive factors as mediators of aggression with people who have mental retardation.
TLDR
The role-taking ability of the aggressive participants was superior to the nonaggressive group, undermining the focus on global problems of interpersonal understanding as a causal factor of aggression for people with mental retardation.
The influence of anger-arousal level on attribution of hostile intent and problem solving capability in an individual with a mild intellectual disability and a history of difficulties with aggression
Background  Recent studies have suggested that cognitive biases may play an important mediating role in aggressive outbursts from people with mild intellectual disabilities (IDs). Essentially, some…
Frequent aggression and attribution of hostile intent in people with mild to moderate intellectual disabilities: an empirical investigation.
TLDR
It is suggested that differences in attribution of threat to self play a role in frequent aggression, and the importance of assessing and addressing aggressive individuals' interpersonal perceptions is highlighted.
Predicting our own aggression: person, subculture or situation?
TLDR
Feature analysis of situations tending to produce fight vs. flight responses suggested that flight is associated with perceived high risk encounters whereas fighting is the modal response in 'fair fight' situations where the risk of injury is lower.
