Abstract: | In a group of 80 adults of both sexes, we studied the correlation between the characteristics of aggressiveness of the individual
(diagnosed using the Buss-Durkee questionnaire) and parameters of the frequency components (rhythms) of EEG recorded in the
resting state from leads C3 and C4 according to the 10–20 system. Despite the natural high interindividual variability, the
higher spectral powers of nearly all EEG frequency components (δ-, θ-, α-, and β rhythms) and coefficient of reactivity of
the α rhythm corresponded in general to lower indices on the scales of the Buss-Durkee questionnaire and smaller values of
the index of aggressiveness and index of hostility. These correlations probably reflect a significant dependence of both characteristics
of aggressiveness of personality and amplitude parameters of the EEG rhythms on hereditary factors. Both these aspects of
the neurodynamic constitution of the individual are to a significant extent determined by the specificity of organization
and functioning of a few neurotransmitter (in particular, aminergic) and neurohumoral systems.
