Abstract
ABSTRACT The current study explored internal mechanisms by which childhood maltreatment influenced aggression from perspectives of social comparison theory and resilience framework theory for the first time. Authors randomly recruited 811 participants and asked them to complete Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ), Dispositional Envy Scale (DES), Connor–Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) and Aggression Questionnaire (AQ). Finally, the data were analyzed by structural equation model method. The results showed that envy and resilience were both important mediating mechanisms between childhood maltreatment and aggression, and childhood maltreatment could affect envy through resilience and then influenced aggression. The present findings provide important practical guidance for how to effectively inhibit the influence of childhood maltreatment on aggression.
