■羞耻,尤其是在青春期,是一种与攻击行为相关的关键心理结构。这项研究解决了在中国青少年文化背景下理解这种关系的具体机制的差距。
■本研究旨在探讨敌意和责备外化在中国青少年羞耻感和攻击性之间的中介作用。
■1489名中国青少年的综合样本参与了这项研究。他们完成了“青少年自我意识情感测试”,以评估羞耻倾向,并完成了侵略问卷,以衡量攻击行为。这项研究利用了网络分析和中介分析,解开羞耻感和倾向之间复杂的相互作用,责备的外化,敌意,愤怒,和侵略。
■结果确定了将羞耻感与侵略联系起来的两种不同途径:一种是由敌意介导的,另一种是由责备的外部化介导的。通过敌意的途径特别明显,将其标记为耻辱-侵略关系中的中心节点。有趣的是,这项研究还揭示了一个直接的,虽然不太明显,羞耻感对攻击性的抑制作用,表明羞耻在青少年行为中的二元作用。这些发现在不同的人口亚组中是一致的,在所研究的人群中提出了一种可推广的模式。
■羞耻感的双重性质,作为侵略的抑制剂和促进者,强调在心理干预和未来研究中需要对文化敏感的方法。敌意在这种关系中的核心作用指向旨在减轻青少年攻击性的治疗干预的潜在目标。
UNASSIGNED: Shame-proneness, particularly in adolescence, is a critical psychological construct linked to aggressive behavior. This study addresses the gap in understanding the specific mechanisms of this relationship within the cultural context of Chinese adolescents.
UNASSIGNED: The study aims to explore the mediating roles of
hostility and externalization of blame in the connection between shame-proneness and aggression among Chinese adolescents.
UNASSIGNED: A comprehensive sample of 1489 Chinese adolescents participated in the study. They completed the Test of Self-Conscious Affect for Adolescents to assess shame-proneness and an aggression questionnaire to measure aggressive behaviors. The study utilized network analysis and mediational analysis, to unravel the complex interactions between shame-proneness, externalization of blame,
hostility, anger, and aggression.
UNASSIGNED: The results identified two distinct pathways linking shame-proneness to aggression: one mediated by
hostility and the other by externalization of blame. The pathway via
hostility was particularly pronounced, marking it as a central node in the shame-aggression relationship. Interestingly, the study also revealed a direct, though less pronounced, inhibitory effect of shame-proneness on aggression, indicating a dualistic role of shame in adolescent behavior. These findings were consistent across different demographic subgroups, suggesting a generalizable pattern in the studied population.
UNASSIGNED: The dual nature of shame-proneness, as both an inhibitor and a facilitator of aggression, underscores the need for culturally sensitive approaches in psychological interventions and future research. The central role of
hostility in this relationship points to potential targets for therapeutic interventions aimed at mitigating aggression in adolescents.
