As one of the common social phenomena,aggression will seriously damage people’s quality of life.Among them,the problem of middle school students’ aggression is particularly prominent.It will cause damage to others,and meanwhile it also threatens the good growth of students all the time.Narcissism is a personality trait,narcissists pay more attention to the self,at the same time,they are more vulnerable and they have more aggressive behavior.With the popularization and application of the Internet,network interpersonal relationships have become an important part of middle school students.Middle school students also experience interpersonal exclusion in online situations,and they also attack others through the Internet.This study focuses on the aggressive behavior characteristics of implicit and explicit narcissistic high school students in real social exclusion and online exclusion situations.Study 1 used the questionnaire method to explore the relationship between the level of explicit and implicit narcissism and the level of aggressive behavior in high school.The narcissism scale,aggression questionnaire and cyber attack questionnaire were used to measure 602 senior high school students in a High School of Xingyang City.The results found that explicit and implicit narcissism was significantly positively correlated with both traditional aggression and cyber aggression.Study 2 used the negative evaluation paradigm to explore the traditional aggression levels of different types of high school narcissists in the real social exclusion situation.An experimental design of 3(narcissism type: explicit narcissism,implicit narcissism,neutral control group)× 2(social situation: social exclusion,social acceptance)was used to investigate the differences of traditional aggressive behaviors of different types of narcissistic high school students when they encounter real social exclusion or social acceptance.The results showed that in the real social exclusion situation,the level of traditional aggressive behavior of the explicit narcissism group was significantly higher than that of the implicit narcissism group and the neutral control group,but the traditional aggressive behavior of the implicit narcissism group and the neutral control group was not significantly different.While in the social acceptance situation,there was no significant difference in traditional aggressive behavior between the explicit and implicit narcissism group and the neutral control group.Study 3 used the Internet throwing paradigm and variants of negative evaluation paradigm to explore the cyber-aggressive behaviors of different types of high school narcissists in the context of cyber-exclusion.An experimental design of 3(narcissism type: explicit narcissism,implicit narcissism,neutral control group)× 2(social situation: Internet exclusion,Internet acceptance)was used to investigate the differences of cyber-attack behaviors of different types of narcissistic senior high school students in situations of network rejection or network acceptance.The results showed that in the network exclusion situation,the network attack of the explicit and implicit narcissism group had no significant difference and was significantly higher than that of the neutral control group;in the network acceptance situation,the network attack of the explicit and implicit narcissism group and the neutral control group have no significant differences.Conclusion: Explicit narcissistic high school students who encounter exclusion will produce traditional and cyber attacks;The traditional attacks of implicit narcissistic high school students who encounter exclusion are restrained in real life,while there are network attacks in the hidden network environment.Based on the above results,this study puts forward the following educational measures:(1)Focus on the narcissistic middle school students to form a good consciousness of themselves;(2)Create a good acceptance and support environment for middle school students;(3)Create a clean network environment for middle school students.
