This study examined the contribution of general normative beliefs about aggression and specific normative beliefs about retaliatory aggression in predicting physical, verbal, and indirect aggressive behaviors. Two hundred and forty-nine Grade 4 and Grade 5 boys completed the Normative Beliefs about Aggression Scale (NOBAGS) and provided self-reports on the frequency of their physical, verbal, and indirect aggressive behaviors. A series of hierarchical multiple regression analyses revealed that general normative beliefs about aggression contributed significantly in predicting all three types of aggressive behaviors. When general normative beliefs about aggression were controlled for, specific normative beliefs about retaliatory aggression against males but not specific normative beliefs about retaliatory aggression against females, contributed significantly to predict physical, verbal, and indirect aggressive behaviors. Implications for intervention programs are discussed.
本研究考察了关于攻击行为的一般规范性信念以及关于报复性攻击行为的特定规范性信念在预测身体攻击、言语攻击和间接攻击行为方面的作用。249名四年级和五年级男生完成了攻击行为规范性信念量表（NOBAGS），并就他们身体攻击、言语攻击和间接攻击行为的频率提供了自我报告。一系列分层多元回归分析表明，关于攻击行为的一般规范性信念在预测所有三种攻击行为类型方面有显著贡献。在控制了关于攻击行为的一般规范性信念后，针对男性的报复性攻击行为的特定规范性信念（而非针对女性的报复性攻击行为的特定规范性信念）对预测身体攻击、言语攻击和间接攻击行为有显著贡献。文中还讨论了对干预项目的启示。
