The Impact Of Relative Deprivation On Aggression Among College Students:the Mediating Role Of Attribution

This study used 260 college students from Jilin,Hebei,Shandong and other places as the research objects,using the self-made college students' relative deprivation questionnaire,the Multidimensional-Multiattributional Causality Scale(MMCS)and the offensive questionnaire Chinese version.Using statistical methods such as descriptive statistics,t test,analysis of variance,correlation method,and regression analysis,to explore the relationship between college students' relative deprivation,attribution and aggression.The specific research results are as follows:(1)The relative deprivation of contemporary college students is good,.The relative deprivation of male college students is significantly higher than that of female students;the relative deprivation of rural college students is significantly higher than that of urban college students;the relative deprivation of poor college students is significantly higher than that of non-poor college students;The relative deprivation of college students whose parents are incompatible with marriage is significantly higher than that of parents who have a harmonious marriage.Undergraduate students' relative deprivation is significantly higher than graduate students,and there is no significant difference in whether they are only children.(2)The attribution methods of contemporary college students are generally biased towards internal control.Among them,college students in both parents are more inclined to external attribution than those in single-parent families.There were no significant differences in other variables in the study(gender,whether it was only child,family location,family poverty,parental marital status,and grade).(3)The overall level of offensiveness of contemporary college students is good,and the overall score is at the lower middle level.The male college students' aggression was significantly higher than that of female college students.There were no significant differences in other variables in this study(whether they were only living,family location,family poverty,parental marital status,and grade level).(4)The higher the aggressiveness of college students with higher relative deprivation.In addition,the relative deprivation can positively predict the aggressiveness.This predictive effect is especially reflected in the Cognition relative deprivation dimension of relative deprivation,and is significant.(5)The more offensive the internal attribution or external attribution of college students,the higher the aggression.In addition,attribution can be used to predict aggressiveness in a positive way.This predictive effect is especially evident in the context attribution and luck attribution dimensions,and is significant.(6)The higher the relative deprivation,the more the attribution method is externally attribution.In addition,the relative deprivation can positively predict the attribution method.This prediction is especially reflected in the cognition relative deprivation of relative deprivation,and is significant.(7)Attribution mode plays a partial intermediary role between relative deprivation and aggression,and mediation effect accounts for 17.35% of the total effect.
