The Influence Of Trait Anger On College Students’ Aggressive Behavior:the Role Of Hostile Cognition And Experience

Aggressive behavior is a common problem behavior in the process of social development.Aggressive behavior,especially campus bullying behavior with bullying as its core feature,has a wide impact.Although the intervention has been increasing to reduce the incidence of this problematic behavior,the survey found that the attack rate of college students is still high.Furthermore,recent studies have shown that the person who initiates the attack is the bully and the person who reports the target(the bullied)is more likely to cause mental health problems and behavioral disorders.Therefore,both the experience of bullying and the experience of being bullied have a great influence on the growth of the individual,which will endanger the physical and mental health of the bully and the victim,and is not conducive to the sound development of students.Therefore,this study takes the aggressive behavior of college students as a perspective,and specifically explores the impact of college students’ bullying and bullying experience on the relationship between college students’ traits of anger-hostility cognition-aggressive behavior,so as to provide a theoretical basis for the later formulation of intervention programs and reduce college students’ aggressive levels Probability of occurrence,build a harmonious and safe campus environment.In this study,to investigate the differences of trait anger,hostility cognition,experience and aggression in college students’ basic demographic data,as well as the time and manner of bullying experience and being bullied experience in the relationship between trait anger,hostility cognition and aggression.663 undergraduates were investigated with trait anger scale(TAS),hostility Cognition subscale,self-designed bullying-bullied experience questionnaire and responsiveness-initiative aggression questionnaire.The main results of this study are as follows:1.There are significant differences in demographic variables of trait anger,experience and reactive aggression:(1)There are significant differences in whether the only child is the only child or not and the family location: The trait anger level of only children is higher than that of non-only children;the level of trait anger of urban individuals is higher than that of rural individuals.(2)There are significant differences in gender and major: specifically,males have higher experience of physical bullying experience,verbal bullying experience,bullying experience,physical being bullied experience and being bullied experience than females,while females have higher indirect bullying experience than males;Liberal arts students have more indirect being bullied experience than science students.(3)There are significant differences in reactive aggression among Nationalities: The reactive aggression of Han college students is higher than that of minority college students.2.Trait anger,hostile cognition,experience,active aggression,and reactive aggression have no significant differences in the variables of college students’ grade and age.3.Trait anger,hostile cognition,bullying experience,victimization experience,active aggressive behavior,and reactive aggressive behavior have a significant positive correlation.4.The experience of being bullied and the perception of hostility play multiple mediating roles in trait anger and reactive aggression.5.The bullying experience plays a moderating role in the intermediary model of trait anger-hostile cognition-active attack.Specifically,trait anger indirectly predicts active aggression through hostile cognition,but the mediating effect only exists in the middle and high-level bullying experience.When the bullying experience is low,the hostile cognitive mediating effect is not significant.
