Abstract:
Objective:To understand aggressive behavior associated factors among middle school students in Macao, so as to provide a reference for preventing and reducing aggression behavior in school.
Methods:From September to December 2018, a multi-stage stratified cluster sampling method was used to conduct a questionnaire survey among 2 681 middle school students in Macao, China, and an aggressive behavior survey scale was used to evaluate the aggression behavior of middle school students.
Results:The average total score of aggressive behavior in Macao middle school students was (36.18±17.62), of which the average score of proactive aggression was (20.00±9.19), the average score of active aggression was (16.18±9.15), and the score of active aggression was higher than that of proactive aggression(t=39.01, P<0.01). Univariate analysis showed that the scores of aggressive behavior of junior high school students were higher than those of high school students (t=5.95, P<0.01), and middle school students with good academic performance had lower scores than those with poor academic performance (F=9.12, P<0.01)， and students whose mothers did not work had higher aggressive scores than mothers had jobs (t=2.40, P<0.05). Multivariate linear regression showed that the frequency of skipping classes in the past month had a significant effect on the aggressive behavior of middle school students (t=6.27, P<0.01), the experience of substance abuse, especially the frequency of drinking (t=5.77) and drug use (t=2.90) in the past month was the influencing factor of students’ aggressive behavior, and the victimized experience such as being stolen (t=4.98), being beaten (t=2.87) and being snatched by force (t=-2.62) was also an important predictor of aggression behavior of middle school students, and the difference is statistically significant(P<0.01).
Conclusion:The skipping class, substance abuse and victimized experience are risk factors for middle school students’ aggressive behavior. It is necessary to strengthen the prevention of aggressive behavior of middle school students.
