Abstract:
Objective:To explore latent classes of college students aggressive behavior and its correlations with family care and the meaning of life among college students.
Methods:A cross sectional questionnaire survey was conducted among 5 094 students from three universities in Xinxiang City in December 2021, using Aggression Questionnaire (AQ), Family APGAR Index (APGAR), and the Meaning in Life Questionnaire (MLQ).
Results:Aggressive behavior of college students was classifed into three potential categories:low aggressive behavior group (26.4%), moderate aggressive behavior group (48.5%), and high aggressive behavior group(25.1%). There were significant differences in latent classes of aggressive behavior among college students by gender, physical flexibility, exercise frequency, and sleep status ( χ 2=63.95, 169.86, 125.76, 325.24, P <0.01). There were significant differences in the sense of life meaning and the degree of family care among the 3 potential categories of aggressive behavior ( F=113.47, 231.82, P <0.01). The multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the sense of meaning of life ( OR =0.96, 95% CI =0.96-0.97) and family care ( OR =0.83, 95% CI =0.81-0.84) were significantly associated with three classes of aggressive behavior ( P <0.01).
Conclusion:Aggressive behavior among college students is associated with gender, exercise frequency, sleep status, meaning of life, family care, and physical flexibility. School, family and society should actively pay attention to students psychological characteristics and to provide corresponding support for aggressive behavior prevention and intervention.
