Abstract

To investigate the relationship between perceived discrimination and left-behind adolescents’ aggression and its inner mechanism, 662 left-behind middle school students were recruited to complete relevant questionnaires. Results showed that: 1) Perceived discrimination, depression, anger, moral disengagement and aggression were positively correlated with each other. 2) Perceived discrimination could not directly affect left-behind adolescents’ aggression, but could indirectly affect it through four paths: the separate mediating effect of anger; the separate mediating effect of moral disengagement; the chain mediating effect of depression and moral disengagement; and the chain mediating effect of anger and moral disengagement. In conclusion, depression, anger and moral disengagement play the multiple chain mediation roles in the relationship between perceived discrimination and left-behind adolescents’ aggression.
