The Influence Of Different Emotions On College Students’ Aggressive Behavior

Objective of the studyAs a psychological system,emotion not only plays an important role in motivating individual behavior,but also has important significance for individual life and social adaptation.Previous studies on college students’ emotions and aggressive behaviors believed that different emotions can play a certain role in predicting aggressive behaviors.At the same time,when college students deal with some problems,emotional factors will affect their moral judgment to a certain extent.Facing the same emotional stimulus,different people have different emotional reactions.Moral judgment plays a role in this process,which can change or control the behavior of college students.In previous studies,the study of aggressive behavior focused on the relationship between emotion and aggressive behavior or moral judgment and aggressive behavior,and lacked the mechanism study between these three factors.Therefore,from the perspective of inducing different emotions(positive,neutral,negative)to influence moral judgment(moral judgment ability,moral judgment attitude)and aggressive behavior(implicit,explicit),this study examines the relationship between the three,and analyzes the role of moral judgment in emotion and aggressive behavior,so as to provide some help for regulating and controlling college students’ aggressive behavior.Objects and methods of studyThere are two experiments in this study.In experiment 1,37 students from Xi’an Institute of Physical Education were randomly selected to watch the video selected in this study.The validity of the emotion-induced video selected in this study was tested by using the descriptive statistics,one-way ANOVA and other analysis methods in spss22.0 to provide guarantee for the effectiveness of the follow-up experiment.In experiment 2,95 students from Xi’an Institute of Physical Education were selected by random sampling method(the subjects in this experiment did not duplicate the subjects in experiment 1).First,the subjects were randomly divided into positive,neutral and negative emotion groups.Different videos were used to induce corresponding emotions,and MJT was used to measure the moral judgment ability and attitude of the subjects;Secondly,the explicit and implicit aggressive behaviors of college students under different emotional states were measured using the external emotion Simon task(EAST)and the "chili sauce" paradigm.In the second experiment,descriptive statistics,independent sample T test,one-way ANOVA and correlation analysis in SPSS22.0 were used to explore the relationship among emotion,moral judgment and aggressive behavior;At the same time,this paper uses Process to test the mediation effect to determine whether moral judgment has a mediation effect between emotion and aggressive behavior.Results1.The impact of different emotions on moral judgment(1)The Influence of Different Emotions on Moral Judgment AbilityThe moral judgment ability(C score)showed significant differences in different emotional states and involvement situations: F=5.070,P<0.05;F=15.890,P<0.05。 In the context of self involvement,the positive emotion group had the highest score in moral judgment ability(C score),followed by the negative emotion group,and the neutral emotion group had the lowest score;In non self involvement situations,the positive emotion group had the highest score in moral judgment ability(C score),followed by the neutral emotion group,and the negative emotion group had the lowest score.(2)The Influence of Different Emotions on Moral Judgment AttitudesUnder different emotional states,there is a significant difference in moral judgment attitude(emotional score)in the context of self involvement: F=5.778,P<0.05,from high to low,it is the neutral emotion group,positive emotion group,and negative emotion group;There was no significant difference in moral judgment attitude(emotional score)in non self involvement situations: F=0.898,P>0.05.2.The impact of different emotions on aggressive behaviorThere was no significant difference in implicit attack scores among different emotional states(p>0.05);There is a significant difference in the scores of explicit aggressive behavior: F=9.032,P<0.05,with scores ranging from high to low in the negative emotion group,neutral emotion group,and positive emotion group.3.The correlation between emotions,moral judgments,and aggressive behavior(1)The correlation between emotions and moral judgmentsThe positive emotions of the participants were significantly positively correlated with their moral judgment ability and moral judgment attitude in two different situations(p<0.05).The negative emotions of the participants were significantly negatively correlated with their moral judgment ability in non self involvement situations(p<0.01).(2)The correlation between emotions and aggressive behaviorThere was no significant correlation between emotions and implicit aggressive behavior(p>0.05);The positive emotions of the subjects showed a significant negative correlation with explicit aggressive behavior(p<0.01),while the negative emotions of the subjects showed a significant positive correlation with explicit aggressive behavior(p<0.01).(3)The correlation between moral judgment and aggressive behaviorAmong all dimensions of moral judgment,there is a significant positive correlation between moral judgment ability and implicit aggressive behavior only in non self involvement situations(p<0.001);The moral judgment ability(Cscore)and moral judgment attitude(emotional score)in non self involvement situations were significantly negatively correlated with explicit aggressive behavior(p<0.05).4.The mesomeric effect of moral judgment(1)The moral judgment ability in the non self involvement situation plays a partial mediating role in the influence of positive emotions on explicit aggressive behavior(the mesomeric effect value is-0.008): that is,positive emotions can not only negatively predict explicit aggressive behavior,but also negatively predict explicit aggressive behavior by improving the moral judgment ability in the non self involvement situation.Moral judgment attitude in the context of self involvement plays a partial mediating role in the impact of positive emotions on explicit aggression(the mesomeric effect value is-0.008): that is,positive emotions can not only negatively predict explicit aggression,but also improve moral judgment in the context of self involvement research conclusion1.Positive emotion has a significant negative predictive effect on explicit aggressive behavior,while negative emotion has a significant positive predictive effect on explicit aggressive behavior;2.The ability of moral judgment in the situation of non-self involvement and the attitude of moral judgment in the situation of self involvement have a significant negative predictive effect on the subjects’ explicit aggressive behavior;Under the situation of non-self involvement,the ability of moral judgment has a significant positive predictive effect on implicit aggression;3.Under the situation of non-self involvement,the ability of moral judgment plays a part of intermediary role in the influence of positive emotions on explicit aggressive behavior;Moral judgment attitude plays a part of intermediary role in the influence of positive emotion on explicit aggressive behavior under the situation of self involvement;The ability of moral judgment plays a part of mediating role in the influence of negative emotions on explicit aggressive behavior in the context of non-self involvement.
