青少年早期攻击和违纪行为的关系:受欢迎度的调节作用

Linkage Between Early Adolescent Aggression and Delinquency: Do Perceived Popularity Play a Role as Moderator?

以1755名初中一年级青少年为被试考察青少年早期个体攻击和违纪行为之间的关系,并对受欢迎度的调节作用进行了检验。结果表明,(1)在青少年早期,身体攻击能正向预测违纪行为,而关系攻击不能。(2)个体的受欢迎度能够调节身体攻击与违纪行为间的关系,具体表现为身体攻击对不受欢迎个体违纪行为的影响比对受欢迎个体的影响更大。

In this study, we explored the relationship between aggression and children＇s delinquency in early adoles- cence, as well as the moderating role of perceived popularity. 1755 children in the 7th grade from 12 junior high schools were investigated. The results were as follows： （1） Physical aggression positively predicted delinquency, but no convincing evidence showed that relational aggression had an effect on delinquency, which implied that different forms of aggression may relate to adolescent delinquency differently. （2） Perceived peer popularity moderated the relation between physical aggression and adolescent delinquency. Specifically, physical aggression was related to delinquency less strongly among popular adolescents than that among unpopular adolescents.
