| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to examine the factors affecting aggression in junior high school students, with particular focus on the three aspects, cognition, emotion and behavior. In this study, about 900 Japanese junior high school students answered questionnaires and about 100students attended peer support programs.
The questionnaires were constituted several scales to evaluate aggression (main target was reactive aggression) and the three aspects. Aggression was evaluated by FAS (Functional aggression scale) and the reactive aggression scale. Especially we guess "KI・RE・RU "violence related to reactive aggression. Cognitive aspect was evaluated by using scales: cognitive empathy scale (main factor was perspective taking), consciousness of physical condition, a reach of awareness and human conflict. Emotional aspect was evaluated self-esteem and feeling of loneliness. Behavioral aspect was items of maladjusted behavior and deviant behavior.
The results showed that reactive aggression was related to perspective taking, self-esteem and maladjusted and deviant behavior. Especially in female students, reactive aggression was related to consciousness of physical condition and feeling of loneliness. The present study suggested that not only psychological interventions and methods but also physical approaches and methods was necessary to reduce reactive aggression. Furthermore there was low self-esteem and a feeling of loneliness in the background of students showed high score in reactive aggression.
According to this results, We guess that peer support programs with physical activities possibly reduce reactive aggression, About 100junior high school students attended peer group activities three times in a year. Almost of them felt acquiring more agreeable skill in relationship.
