Abstract:
Objective:To explore the relationship between self-esteem, rumination, social anxiety and aggressive behavior among college students, and to investigate the mediating role of rumination and social anxiety between self-esteem and aggressive behavior of college students.Methods:From April 2023 to July 2023, a questionnaire survey was conducted on 501 college students using the self-esteem scale, rumination scale, social anxiety scale, and aggression scale. SPSS 22.0 software was used for descriptive statistics and correlation analysis, and AMOS 24.0 software was used to construct the model and test the chain mediating effect.Results:Self-esteem(30.00 (28.00, 32.00)) was significantly negatively correlated with aggressive behavior(44.00 (35.00, 57.00)), rumination(42.00 (35.00, 48.00)), and social anxiety(49.00 (43.00, 54.00)) ( r=-0.332, -0.419, -0.275, all P<0.05). Rumination was significantly positively correlated with social anxiety and aggressive behavior ( r=0.366, 0.503, both P<0.05), social anxiety was significantly positively correlated with aggressive behavior ( r=0.326, P<0.05). Rumination and social anxiety played mediating roles between self-esteem and aggressive behavior, with effect values of -0.166 and -0.040, respectively, and there was a chain mediating role, with effect value of -0.034. Conclusion:Self-esteem can have an impact on individual aggressive behavior through the separate mediating effect of rumination and social anxiety, as well as the chain mediating effect.
