Development And Primary Application Of Cyber Aggression Behavior Questionnaire For College Students

Cyber aggression behavior refers to any behavior enacted through the use of information and communication technologies with cyber and mobile phone to intentionally perform harm to another person(s)that the target person(s)wants to avoid.As a kind of negative behavior in the network environment,cyber aggression behavior has a bad effect on the victims and the entire cyber society.People can build a harmonious and healthy network environment and improve the enjoyment of cyber users through reducing the occurrence of cyber aggression behavior.College students are the main force of cyber use.Therefore,this study takes college students as the object to discuss the structure of cyber aggression behavior.Cyber aggression behavior questionnaire of college students is complied.First of all,the study analyzed the domestic and foreign research literature deeply to master the present research situation of cyber aggression behavior.Secondly,the study formed the initial questionnaire for cyber aggression behavior based on the analysis of the literature,the semi-structured interviews combining open questionnaire survey,discussion with expert assessment.420 college students were tested by cyber questionnaire link with initial questionnaire,and the effective data collected were analyzed by item and exploratory factor analysis.After the useless questions were deleted,a formal questionnaire of 38 items was initially formed.714 college students were tested by cyber questionnaire link with formal questionnaire,the questionnaire's dimensions and structure were finally determined by confirmatory factor analysis,reliability and validity analysis.Finally,the formal questionnaire was tested with other questionnaires through school psychological assessment system.500 college students' data are used to analyze the status of cyber aggression behavior,to discuss the differences in demographic variables,to explore important individual characters that affect cyber aggression behavior.The results are listed as follow:(1)College cyber aggression behavior can be divided into instrumental cyber aggression behavior and reactive cyber aggression behavior based on motive.The instrumental cyber aggression behavior sub-questionnaire consists of three dimensions: relational aggression(5 items),reputation aggression(3 items),and equity aggression(14 items);The reactive cyber aggression behavior sub-questionnaire consists of three dimensions: relational aggression(4 items),reputation aggression(3 items),and equity aggression(9 items).(2)The instrumental cyber aggression behavior sub-questionnaire and the reactive cyber aggression behavior sub-questionnaire are three dimensions.The reliability and validity of two sub-questionnaires are good.The indexes are as follows: ?2/df<5,GFI,AGFI,CFI,IFI are above or close to 0.90,RMR and RMSEA<0.08.The internal consistency coefficient of two sub-questionnaires are 0.886,0.870,while the internal consistency coefficient of each dimension are between 0.734 and 0.835.Therefore,two subquestionnaires are stable and reliable.The correlation between each dimension are between 0.551 and 0.669,and the correlation between each dimension with the total subquestionnaire are between 0.773 and 0.911.The structure validity of the questionnaire is ideal,there is also a significant criterion-related validity.(3)According to the survey of college students' cyber aggression behavior,the level of cyber aggression behavior is not high.Through the statistical analysis of demographic variables,results show that the main effects and interaction effects of gender,professional category,network age,main use of Internet are not significant on instrumental cyber aggression behavior.The results also show that the main effects of gender,network age,main use of Internet are significant on reactive cyber aggression behavior;the interaction effect of network age and main use of Internet is significant on reactive cyber aggression behavior;the interaction effect of gender,network age,and main use of Internet is significant on reactive cyber aggression behavior.(4)According to relevant analysis and regression analysis,the cyber aggression behavior of college students is significantly positively correlated with psychopathy,anxiety and jealousy,and negatively correlated with guilt-shame traits,general beliefs in a just word,and adaptability.Guilty and psychopathy have significant prior predictive effects on instrumental cyber aggressive behavior,while anxiety has a significant immediate predictive effect.Psychopathy and general beliefs in a just word have significant prior predictive effects on reactive cyber aggression behavior,while jealousy and adaptability have significant immediate predictive effects.
