The Influence Of Belief In A Just World On Aggressive Behavior Of College Students

Since the birth of psychology,the research on aggressive behavior becomes the focus of scholars.Recently,a spate of violent incidents appeals to researchers for further research and modification on college students' aggressive behavior.Past research has shown that belief in a just world can predict aggressive behavior.This research would focused on the impact mechanism of belief in a just world on aggressive behavior and we constructed a moderated mediation model to explore whether cognitive emotion regulation played a mediation role between belief in a just world and aggressive behavior and whether the mediation process was moderated by stressful life events.Besides,independent samples group T test and one-way ANOVA analysis were introduced to test differences of the major variables in demographic variables.The college period is the key process of student's socialization,in this period,students will are face with serious pressures and challenges like employment,study,human relations and economy problems.Such stressful environment will lead to aggressive behavior.This research are helpful to prevent and reduce the aggressive behavior for educators.This research based on results of home and abroad,taking the survey method,selected 721 college school students from Jiujiang city and Nanchang city(JiangXi)as subjects were measured with Dalbert Belief in a Just World Scale,Aggressive Scale,Adolescent Self-Rating Life Events Scale(ASLEC)and the Chinese version of Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire(CERQ-C).This research preliminary discusses the impact mechanism of the just world belief on aggressive,SPSS 20.0 and M-plus 7.0were used to analysis the data.The main conclusions of the study are as follows:(1)Belief in a just world in home location exist significant differences,there is no significant differences in gender,grade,whether a single child;(2)Aggressive behavior in gender,grade,home location exist significant differences,there is no significant differences in whether a single child.(3)Stressful life events in gender,grade,home location exist significant differences,there is no significant differences in whether a single child.(4)Positive cognitive emotion regulation strategy in home location,grade exist significant differences,there is no significant differences in gender and whether a single child.(5)Negative cognitive emotion regulation strategy in gender,grade exist significant differences,there is no significant differences in home location and whether a single child.(6)There is a significant correlation between belief in a just word and aggressive behavior.(7)Cognitive emotion regulation play an intermediary role between belief in a just word and aggressive behavior.(8)The mediation effect of cognitive emotion regulation is regulated by stressful life events.
