This study examined associations between self reports of sadness and anger regulation coping, reluctance to express emotion, and physical and relational aggression among two cohorts of predominantly African-American fifth (N = 191; 93 boys and 98 girls) and eighth (N = 167; 73 boys and 94 girls) graders. Multiple regression analyses indicated unique associations between relational aggression and expressive reluctance and sadness regulation coping. In contrast, physical aggression, but not relational aggression, was associated with anger regulation coping. These relations did not differ across gender, but, the strength of the association between anger regulation coping and physical aggression varied by grade. Sadness regulation coping moderated the association between expressive reluctance and relational aggression. Conversely, anger regulation coping moderated the relation between expressive reluctance and physical aggression, however, the strength of this relation differed by gender. These findings have important implications for intervention efforts.
本研究调查了两组主要为非裔美国五年级（N = 191；93名男孩和98名女孩）和八年级（N = 167；73名男孩和94名女孩）学生中，悲伤和愤怒调节应对的自我报告、表达情绪的不情愿程度，以及身体攻击和关系攻击之间的关联。多元回归分析表明，关系攻击与表达不情愿和悲伤调节应对之间存在独特的关联。相比之下，身体攻击而非关系攻击与愤怒调节应对有关。这些关系在性别上没有差异，但愤怒调节应对与身体攻击之间关联的强度因年级而异。悲伤调节应对缓和了表达不情愿与关系攻击之间的关联。相反，愤怒调节应对缓和了表达不情愿与身体攻击之间的关系，然而，这种关系的强度因性别而异。这些发现对干预措施具有重要意义。
