Abstract

Abstract:

To explore the relationship and underlying mechanisms between social anxiety and aggression among middle school students, a questionnaire survey was conducted among 905 middle school students. The results showed that: 1) under the control of gender, age, and whether they had siblings, social anxiety significantly and positively predicted aggressive behavior in middle school students; 2) social anxiety could predict aggression in middle school students through the partial mediating role of speech fluency; 3) the mediating role of speech fluency was moderated by emotional intelligence. These findings help reveal the mechanisms underlying the emergence of aggressive behavior in middle school students and have educational significance for preventing such behavior.

Key words: social anxiety, middle school students, aggression, speech fluency, emotional intelligence

摘要：

为探讨中学生社交焦虑与攻击性的关系及作用机制，对905名中学生进行问卷调查。结果表明：(1)在控制性别、年龄和是否独生的条件下，社交焦虑能够显著正向预测中学生攻击性；(2)社交焦虑能够通过言语流畅性的部分中介作用预测中学生攻击性；(3)言语流畅性的中介作用受到情绪智力的调节。研究结果有助于揭示中学生攻击性的产生机制，对预防中学生的攻击行为具有教育意义。
