Callous Unemotional Trait(CU)is a personality type that includes selfishness,indifference to others,lack of sympathy and compassion,lack of responsibility for one's own behavior and regret.Relevant studies have shown that callous traits can significantly predict aggressive behaviors of adolescents.However,little attention has been paid to the deep mechanism of the influence of callous traits on adolescent aggression.This study will start from the new theoretical perspective of moral reasoning to explore the role of environmental variables such as adolescents' own moral reasoning and peer relationship in the influence of callous traits on adolescents' aggressive behavior.This study randomly selected 601 middle school students from five middle schools in Shanxi Province from grade one to grade three as subjects,and conducted a questionnaire survey.This paper aims to explore the deep internal mechanism between callous traits and aggressive behaviors,and to provide some Suggestions for the mental health education of adolescents.Results:(1)The overall level of junior high school students' indifferent and heartless traits,moral evasive behavior,and reactive aggressive behavior are relatively high,while the overall level of proactive aggressive behavior is in a medium state,and the level of peer relationship is relatively high.(2)There are significant differences in the indifferent and heartless traits,moral evading level,peer relationship and aggressive behaviors of junior high school students in gender,family location and parents' education level;There was no difference in whether they were only children or not.(3)There was a significant positive correlation between the callous traits of junior high school students and moral evasion,proactive aggression and reactive aggression.Moral evasion is positively correlated with active aggression and reactive aggression.There was a significant negative correlation between peer relationship and apathy traits,moral evasion,proactive aggression and reactive aggression.(4)Moral excuses play an intermediary role between the callous traits and proactive aggressive behaviors of junior high school students.Moral reasoning plays a mediating role between callous traits and reactive aggressive behaviors of junior high school students.(5)Peer relationship plays a regulating role in the influence of cold and heartless traits on proactive aggressive behaviors.Peer relationship did not play a moderating role in the influence of apathetic traits on reactive aggression.
