摘要:
目的 探讨儿童青少年攻击特质的核心特征,为针对儿童青少年攻击性的核心心理特征开展行为干预提供理论依据。 方法 2020年3—5月,采用单纯随机方便抽样法从四川、重庆、贵州和山东抽取小学四年级至高中三年级共39 165名学生,以网络问卷的方式展开调查,所有被试均完成中文版攻击特质问卷,采用心理测量网络分析进行数据分析。 结果 中国儿童青少年的特质攻击处于中等偏下水平,其网络结构的核心节点包括身体攻击[如果有人故意找我麻烦,严重时我会揍他(AGG6);如果有人打我,我会还击(AGG11)]和自我攻击[很烦躁时我会想到伤害自己(AGG5);情绪不好时我会做出诸如暴饮暴食等危害自身健康的行为(AGG25)];各年级的核心节点主要来自愤怒维度[我生气时感觉像个火药库,随时会爆炸(AGG13);我难以控制自己的脾气(AGG18);看到不顺眼的事,我容易发火(AGG23);我会无缘无故发脾气(AGG27)],除七和九年级外,其他年级的核心节点包含言语攻击维度[我容易与人发生争吵(AGG22)];八年级前,核心节点包含自我攻击维度(AGG 5,AGG 25);八年级后,核心节点包含身体攻击维度[AGG 6,AGG 11,我比别人打架稍多一些(AGG16),如果周围人为难我到一定程度,我和他们会动手打架(AGG26)];不同年级、不同性别或同一性别不同年级学生的特质攻击性网络结构差异无统计学意义。 结论 扩展对儿童青少年攻击性的理解,采用行为干预可减少儿童青少年攻击性行为的发生。 Abstract:Objective To explore the core features of trait aggression in children and adolescents, so as to provide a theoretical basis for behavioral interventions targeting the central psychological characteristics of aggression in children and adolescents. Methods From March to May 2020, a simple random convenience sampling method was employed to recruit 39 165 students from grades 4 to 12 in Sichuan, Chongqing, Guizhou, and Shandong. Data were collected via online questionnaires, with all participants completing the Chinese Version of the Aggression Questionnaire. Psychometric network analysis was utilized for data processing. Results Trait aggression among Chinese children and adolescents was at a moderately low level. The core nodes of the network structure included physical aggression [if someone intentionally causes trouble for me, I will hit them severely (AGG6); if someone hits me, I will retaliate (AGG11)] and self-aggression [When I am very irritable, I think of hurting myself (AGG5); when I am in a bad mood, I engage in behaviors that harm my health, such as overeating (AGG25)]. Across grade levels, core nodes primarily originated from the anger dimension [When I'm angry, I feel like a powder magazine that could explode at any moment (AGG13); I can't control my temper (AGG18); I am prone to getting angry when I see things that are not pleasing to the eye (AGG23); I will get angry for no reason (AGG27)]. Except for grades 7 and 9, core nodes in other grades included the verbal aggression dimension [I am prone to arguments with people (AGG22)]. Before grade 8, core nodes incorporated the self-aggression dimension (AGG 5, AGG 25); after grade 8, core nodes included the physical aggression dimension [AGG 6, AGG 11, I fight slightly more than others (AGG16), and if people around me make things difficult for me to a certain extent, I will fight with them (AGG26)]. No statistically significant differences were found in the trait aggression network structures across grades, genders, or within-gender comparisons of different grades. Conclusion These findings broaden our understanding of aggression in children and adolescents, suggesting that behavioral interventions can effectively reduce aggressive behaviors in this population. -
