Adolescent violence is now regarded as a major public health concern. Despite growing interest in psychographic risk factors for violent behavior, few studies have explored the role of strategies to regulate cognitive emotion in adolescents. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of adolescent violence behaviors and to identify the relationship between specific strategies to regulate cognitive emotion and forms of violent behavior.Adolescent violence is now regarded as a major public health concern. Despite growing interest in psychographic risk factors for violent behavior, few studies have explored the role of strategies to regulate cognitive emotion in adolescents. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of adolescent violence behaviors and to identify the relationship between specific strategies to regulate cognitive emotion and forms of violent behavior.
We cross-sectionally surveyed 3315 students in grades 7 to 10 using anonymous, self-reporting questionnaires to examine strategies to regulate cognitive emotion and violence-related behaviors in young adolescents. A logistic regression model was used to identify the relationship between specific violent behaviors and strategies to regulate cognitive emotion.
The most commonly reported type of violent behavior was verbal attack (48.6%), while 7.1% of students were involved in fights and 2.4% had been injured in fights. Boys were involved in all forms of violent behavior studied, and did so significantly more often than girls (P<0.05). Logistic regression revealed that six cognitive emotion strategies (self-blame, rumination, planning, reappraisal, catastrophisizing, and blaming others) were associated with violent behaviors, of which catastrophisizing was the most significant factor of all violent behaviors examined that were influenced by this strategy.
Violence-related behaviors, especially verbal attacks, were common among adolescents. Several cognitive emotion regulation strategies were positively associated with specific violent behaviors, but catastrophisizing was strongly related to all forms of violent behavior. Thus, programs targeting adolescent violence must address this and other maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies.
青少年暴力如今被视为一个重大的公共卫生问题。尽管人们对暴力行为的心理风险因素的兴趣日益浓厚，但很少有研究探讨调节青少年认知情绪的策略所起的作用。本研究旨在调查青少年暴力行为的发生率，并确定调节认知情绪的特定策略与暴力行为形式之间的关系。青少年暴力如今被视为一个重大的公共卫生问题。尽管人们对暴力行为的心理风险因素的兴趣日益浓厚，但很少有研究探讨调节青少年认知情绪的策略所起的作用。本研究旨在调查青少年暴力行为的发生率，并确定调节认知情绪的特定策略与暴力行为形式之间的关系。
我们使用匿名的自填问卷对3315名7至10年级的学生进行了横断面调查，以研究调节青少年认知情绪的策略和与暴力相关的行为。采用逻辑回归模型来确定特定暴力行为与调节认知情绪的策略之间的关系。
最常报告的暴力行为类型是言语攻击（48.6%），而7.1%的学生参与过打架，2.4%的学生在打架中受伤。男孩参与了所有形式的暴力行为研究，且比女孩参与的频率显著更高（P<0.05）。逻辑回归显示，六种认知情绪策略（自责、沉思、计划、重新评价、灾难化和责备他人）与暴力行为相关，其中灾难化是所有受该策略影响的暴力行为中最显著的因素。
与暴力相关行为，尤其是言语攻击，在青少年中很常见。几种认知情绪调节策略与特定暴力行为呈正相关，但灾难化与所有形式的暴力行为密切相关。因此针对青少年暴力的项目必须解决这种以及其他适应不良的认知情绪调节策略。
