the variability of agression
Without more context, it is difficult to no what the author is referring to. "in qesto caso". Evolvements doesn't have the same meaning.

Obviously that should be "aggression" and "difficult to know". I have either disobedient fingers today or I need a new keyboard. I think is a bit of both.

Chiara aggression is generally an unaccountable noun (although it is used in the plural, but I think inelegantly and wrongly) and therefore refers to that type of behaviour in general (an act of aggression would be a single episode).
So you have the difference between
aggressiveness: variability of the tendency towards that type of behaviour
aggression: variability of that type of behaviour

Comment: "thanks:)
and why not aggressiveness...?
meant as an instinct or behaviour and not as a single episode?
