Abstract:
Objective:To explore the meditation effect of moral disengagement and self-esteem between friendship jealousy and aggression.Methods:A total of 387 middle school students were selected.Their degrees of friendship jealousy,moral disengagement,self-esteem and aggression were assessed with the Friendship Jealousy Questionnaire (FJQ),Moral Disengagement Scale (MDS),Self-esteem Scale (SES),and Aggression Questionnaire (AQ),respectively.The relationship among these factors was analyzed by structural equation modeling.Results:Both FJQ and MDS scores were positively correlated with AQ scores(r =0.48-0.56,Ps <0.001),and negatively correlated with SES scores(r =-0.47--0.23,Ps < 0.001).Structural equation modeling results showed that FJQ score had indirect effects on AQ score through the mediation of MDS and SES in middle school students.The mediating effects accounted for 46.0% and 18.0% respectively.Conclusion:It suggests that moral disengagement and self-esteem may play mediating effects on relationship between friendship jealousy and aggression in middle school students.
