Aggressive behaviorin adolescencecan be expressed asa predictorfor crime, substanceabuse, depression and academic failure. The purpose of this study was to determine the prediction of aggression among Iranian adolescent based on theory of planned behavior (TPB) as a theoretical framework.
In this cross-sectional study, conducted in Yasuj County, south of Iran, during 2011, a total of 256 male adolescents, were randomly enrolled. Participants filled out a self-administered questionnaire. Data were analyzed by SPSS version 21 using bivariate correlations, and linear regression statistical tests at 95% signifi-cant level.
The three predictor variables of 1) attitude, 2) subjective norms, and 3) perceived behavioral control, accounted for 40% of the variation in the outcome measure of the aggression intention. Besides, intention accounted for 15% of the variation in the outcome measure of the aggression behavior. There was a sig-nificant correlation between drug abuse and alcohol consumption, have friend drug user, unprotect sex and parents divorced with aggression (P< 0.05).
Designing intervention to reduction positive attitude and subjective norms toward aggressive behavior among adolescents could be usefulness result to aggression prevention.
青少年的攻击性行为可被视为犯罪、药物滥用、抑郁和学业失败的一个预测指标。本研究的目的是基于计划行为理论(TPB)这一理论框架来确定伊朗青少年攻击行为的预测因素。
在2011年于伊朗南部亚苏季县开展的这项横断面研究中,共随机招募了256名男性青少年。参与者填写了一份自填式问卷。使用SPSS 21版通过双变量相关性分析以及在95%显著水平下的线性回归统计检验对数据进行分析。
1)态度、2)主观规范和3)感知行为控制这三个预测变量占攻击意图结果测量变异的40%。此外,意图占攻击行为结果测量变异的15%。药物滥用和饮酒、有吸毒的朋友、无保护性行为以及父母离异与攻击行为之间存在显著相关性(P<0.05)。
设计干预措施以减少青少年对攻击行为的积极态度和主观规范,可能会对预防攻击行为产生有益效果。
