This research mainly explores the influence of parental psychological control on adolescents’ relational aggression,and examines the mediating role of rejection sensitivity and the moderating role of effortful control.In this study,a total of 757 adolescents in five schools were surveyed and tested using the "Parental Psychological Control Inventory","Rejection Sensitivity Questionnaire","Relational Aggression Questionnaire" and "Effortful Control Questionnaire".The results showed that:(1)Through independent sample t test,single factor and multivariate analysis of variance,it was found that there was no significant difference in the demographic variables of the adolescent’s parental psychological control.(2)The independent sample t-test found that there were significant gender differences in the adolescents’ rejection sensitivity and its dimensions.The rejection sensitivity,rejection anxiety,and rejection anger levels of girls were significantly higher than those of boys.The Welch test found that rejection sensitivity,rejection sensitivity,and rejection anger levels were significantly higher than boys.There were significant grade differences in rejection anger;one-way analysis of variance found that there were significant grade differences in rejection anxiety.(3)The independent sample t-test found that there were significant gender differences in effortful control and its dimensions.Girls’ effortful control,inhibitory control,activation control,and attention levels were significantly higher than boys’;LSD and Welch post-hoc tests found that effortful control and its dimensions were significantly different in grade;multi-factor variance based on birthplace and whether they were only-children.The analysis found that the main effect of effortful control and attention on whether to be an only child was significant.(4)One-way analysis of variance found that there were significant grade differences in adolescents’ relational aggression.(5)Correlation analysis found that parental psychological control,rejection sensitivity and their dimensions,and adolescent relational aggression are significantly positively correlated;the activation control dimension of effortful control was significantly negatively correlated with adolescent’s relational aggression.Effortful control and its dimension of inhibitory control and attention were significantly positively correlated with adolescents’ relational aggression.(6)The structural equation model showed that parental psychological control had a significant positive predictive effect on adolescents’ relational aggression,rejection sensitivity played a mediating role between parental psychological control and adolescents’ relational aggression,and effortful control regulated the second half of the mediating role.
