The Influence Of Environmental Unpredictability In Early Life On Coercive Resource Control

Humans have to compete to obtain the resources to survive and thrive in a resource-limited environment,In order to achieve the acquisition of their own resources to take damage to the interests of social groups of resource competition strategy is called coercive resource control.Most of the existing studies focus on the specific behavior and actual resource control ability of the coercive resource control strategies.However,there is still little research on what factors shape individual differences in the control of coercive resources and how their negative effects intervene.This study draws lessons from the theory of life history to make up for the above-mentioned research gaps.In this study,605 college students were sampled to explore the influence of environmental unpredictability on the coercive resource control,and the mediating role of life history strategy and the moderating role of perceived social support.The results show:(1)There are differences in demographic information among the study variables.(2)Early life environmental unpredictability was positively correlated with fast life history strategy,coercive resource control,and negatively correlated with perceived social support;perceived social support;was negatively correlated with fast life history strategy and coercive resource control.There was a significant positive correlation between the fast life history strategy and the coercive resource control.(3)Life history strategy plays a partial mediating role in the influence of environmental unpredictability on the coercive resource control.(4)Perceived social support weakens the moderating role of the first half of the mediation model in which early environmental unpredictability indirectly influences the control of stressful resources through life history strategies.The results of this study help to understand the control of stressful resources from an evolutionary perspective,To make up for the lack of attention to the existing research on the understanding of the generation of coercive resource control and how the negative effects of intervention.
