Abstract
The present study aimed to investigate whether the experience of domestic violence influenced school violence behavior through aggression. In addition, it also examined if the effect of aggression on school violence behavior is moderated by ego-resiliency. The subjects were 463 elementary school students in 4<SUP>th</SUP>, 5<SUP>th</SUP> and 6<SUP>th</SUP> grades in urban and suburban areas. As a result, the effect of the experience of domestic violence on school violence behavior was mediated by aggression. The relationship between aggression and school violence behavior was moderated by ego-resiliency. In addition, ego-resiliency was found to be moderate the mediating effect of aggression, but the moderated mediation effect was valid only in male students. Taken together, the experience of domestic violence positively affects the aggression, thus increasing school violence behavior. However, the level of ego-resiliency moderated the effect of aggression on school violence behavior among male students. Implications for educational and counseling interventions in school violence behavior were discussed based on the results.
