Aggression is the behavior that causes harm to others in a direct or indirect way.In recent years,teenagers’ aggression have occurred frequently.As an individual who has poorly physical and mental development,the reasons behind teenagers’ aggressions are worthy of our attention.Previous studies have shown that the victim justice sensitivity will affect teenagers’ aggressive behavior.The victim justice sensitivity refers to the degree to which an individual perceives the difficulty of being treated unfairly and the intensity of his response to unfair events.Individuals with high victim justice sensitivity will show more antisocial behavior,and aggressive behavior is the most common one of them.Anger is the negative emotional experience when one’s will is blocked or in a situation against one’s wish.Individuals with high victim justice sensitivity are more sensitive to the unfair information in the environment.This perceived injustice will make individuals produce a higher level of anger.When the individual’s anger level is high,it will reduce the control of behaviors,and then take actions in a more impulsive way,which will lead to more aggressive behaviors.In the study of aggressive behavior,gender is also a variable which is worthy of investigation.Under the same circumstances,individuals of different genders make different behavioral responses.Based on this,this study believes that anger plays a mediating role between the victim justice sensitivity and aggressive behavior.In addition,this study intends to explore the moderating role between the victim justice sensitivity and aggressive behavior,and the moderating role between anger and aggressive behavior.Based on the sensitivity to mean intentions(Se MI)model,general strain model,fairness theory and social role theory,this study discussed the influence of high school students’ victims justice sensitivity on aggressive behavior,as well as the mediating roles of anger and moderating role of gender.We selected 550 students from three high school in Heilongjiang Province as the subjects,using the Victim Justice Sensitivity Inventory,State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory,Reactive-proactive Aggression Questionnaire.Research shows that:(1)There is a gender difference in victim justice sensitivity of high school students.Compared with boys,girls have a higher level of victim justice sensitivity;compared with high school students who come from cities and towns,rural students have a higher level of victim justice sensitivity;there is no significant difference in high school students’ victim justice sensitivity in whether they are the only child,major and grade..(2)There are significant gender differences in anger,the anger of boys is stronger than that of girls.Anger varies in different majors,compared with high school students majoring in liberal arts,students majoring in science have a higher level of anger;anger has no significant difference in whether they are the only child,hometown and grade..(3)There are significant gender differences in high school students’ aggressive behavior,compared with boys,girls show more aggressive behaviors.Compared with high school students who come from cities and towns,rural students show more aggressive behaviors;there is no significant difference in aggression in whether they are the only child,major and grade.(4)Correlation analysis shows that there is a significantly positive correlation among high school students’ victim justice sensitivity,aggressive behavior and anger.(5)Anger plays a mediating role in the influence of high school students’ victim justice sensitivity on aggressive behavior.Gender plays a moderating role between high school students’ victim justice sensitivity and aggressive behavior.Compared with boys,girls’ victim justice sensitivity has a greater impact on their aggressive behavior;gender plays a moderating role between anger and aggressive behavior.Compared with girls,boys’ aggressive behavior is more affected by the level of anger.
