Relationship between aggressive behavior and interpersonal attribution in senior primary school students

Abstract

Objective To obtain knowledge about aggressive behavior and interpersonal attribution of senior primary school students,and to explore the relationship between them.Methods Stratified random sampling was used to conduct a questionnaire survey in students of the fourth grade,fifth grade and sixth grade.The students were surveyed about their general situation and by aggressive behavior scale and interpersonal attribution scale.The relation between aggressive behavior and interpersonal attribution was analyzed using multiple linear regression.Results The score of aggressive behavior of male students was significantly higher than that of female students;the total,physical aggression,anger and hostility scores of male students of the fourth and fifth grades were significantly higher than those of sixth grade(P0.05).The total,physical aggression,verbal aggression,indirect aggression and anger scores of female student of the fifth and sixth grades were significantly higher than those of the fourth grade(P0.05).The interpersonal attribution score of male students was significantly higher than that of female students(P0.05).The fortune score of male students of the fourth,fifth grades were significantly higher than that of the sixth grade(P0.05).There were no significant differences in interpersonal attribution scores in female students of different grades(P0.05).Multiple linear regression analysis showed that scores of situation factor of external control and fortune were both positively correlated with scores of total aggressive behavior,physical aggression,indirect aggression,anger and hostility when gender and grade were adjusted(P0.05);the scores of effort factor of internal control and situation factor of external control had a positive correlation with score of verbal aggression(P0.05).Conclusion The aggressive behavior of senior primary school students is mainly correlated with the external control factors of interpersonal attribution.Students with higher score of external control factors have a higher score of aggressive behavior,suggesting that the intervening measures should be taken to change the interpersonal attribution style to prevent aggressive behavior among these students.
