The Impact Of Physical Order On Aggressive Behavior

People live in the environment,and the impact of the environment on people occurs at every moment.The physical order of the environment is the overall perception of the order of the environment.When the elements constituting an objective environment are connected regularly,or when the state of the material system is stable,the environment is orderly;on the contrary,when the internal elements are irregular,the thing is disorderly.Previous research shows that when the environment is disorderly,it will reduce the individual's sense of control and weaken self-control ability.Individuals will also behavior more impulsively.Even after excluding social context factors,such effects also exist as a disorderly visual stimulus.Studies have shown that both lower level of sense of control and higher level of moral disengagement will cause individuals to show more aggressive behaviors.In real life,it can be seen that those environments which are disorderly often breed aggressive behaviors and violence.Therefore,on the basis of the previous research on aggressive behavior,the relationship between physical order and aggressive behavior deserves further study,in order to expand the theoretical research on aggressive behavior,and better prevent the occurrence of aggressive behavior in practice.In this study,the relationship between physical order and aggressive behavior was studied through two laboratory experiments combined with statistical analysis.Study 1 took 64 college students as subjects,the physical order score of the laboratory environment as independent variables,the sense of control and moral disengagement as mediation variables,and the stimulus intensity of competitive reaction time task as dependent variable.The influence of environment order on the individual's aggressive behavior was studied through a between-subject experiment;in study 2,the independent variable was changed to the order score of the visual stimulus pictures presented to the subjects,and the remaining variables were the same as study 1.Combining study 1 and study 2,the following conclusions were found:(1)Environment order could significantly predict the aggressive behavior.More orderly the environment was,less likely the individual's aggressive behavior happened;More disorderly the environment was,more likely the individual's aggressive behavior happened;(2)Visual order could significantly predict aggressive behavior.More orderly the visual order was,less likely the individual's aggressive behavior happened;More disorderly the visual order was,more likely the individual's aggressive behavior happened;(3)Environmental order could predict the aggressive behavior through the mediating effect of the sense of control.More orderly the environment was,people felt more sense of control and they were less likely to behavior aggressively;More disorderly the environment was,people felt less sense of control and they were more likely to behavior aggressively;(4)Visual order could predict attack behavior through the chain-mediating effect of control and moral disengagement: More orderly the visual order t was,people felt more sense of control and they were less likely to behavior aggressively with lower moral disengagement;More disorderly the visual order was,people felt less sense of control and they were more likely to behavior aggressively with higher moral disengagement.
