Aggression is defined as behaviors intended to hurt, harm, or injure another person. Aggression is by no means a new concern in human society, especially in youth. Universities are among the institutions in which most of the members are young people and because of facing with various personal and social stressors, the students usually experience high level of stress.
This study aimed to determine aggression among university students and its association with their personal, family, and social characteristics.
This cross-sectional, analytic study was conducted on a representative sample (n = 809) of university students (1 state university and 2 private universities) locating in Gonabad, Iran in 2012. Using proportional to size stratified sampling, we selected the respondents and gathered the required data using a valid and reliable questionnaire. The data were entered into SPSS (version 20) and analyzed through t test, ANOVA, and regression model.
A total of 381 (47.2%) male and 428 (52.8%) female students participated in the study. Mean (SD) age of the respondents was 21.79 (2.86) years. Overall mean aggression score (SD) in the students was 72.45 (15.49) and this score for in dorm and out of dorm students was 74.31 (15.59) and 70.93 (15.23), respectively. There were significant associations between the mean aggression score of dormitory students and sex (P = 0.004), age (P = 0.044), and type of the university (P = 0.039). On the other hand, there was no significant association between all independent factors and mean aggression score of students living out of dorm.
Regarding the control of aggressive behaviors, paying attention to male, young students living in dormitory, especially in non-governmental universities has the highest priority.
攻击行为被定义为旨在伤害、损害或伤害他人的行为。攻击行为在人类社会中绝不是一个新问题,尤其是在年轻人当中。大学是成员大多为年轻人的机构之一,由于面临各种个人和社会压力源,学生通常会经历高水平的压力。
本研究旨在确定大学生中的攻击行为及其与个人、家庭和社会特征的关联。
2012年,对位于伊朗戈纳巴德的大学生(1所国立大学和2所私立大学)的代表性样本(n = 809)进行了这项横断面分析研究。我们采用按规模比例分层抽样选择受访者,并使用有效且可靠的问卷收集所需数据。数据录入SPSS(版本20),并通过t检验、方差分析和回归模型进行分析。
共有381名(47.2%)男学生和428名(52.8%)女学生参与了研究。受访者的平均(标准差)年龄为21.79(2.86)岁。学生的总体平均攻击得分(标准差)为72.45(15.49),宿舍内学生和宿舍外学生的该得分分别为74.31(15.59)和70.93(15.23)。宿舍学生的平均攻击得分与性别(P = 0.004)、年龄(P = 0.044)和大学类型(P = 0.039)之间存在显著关联。另一方面,所有独立因素与宿舍外居住学生的平均攻击得分之间均无显著关联。
在控制攻击行为方面,优先关注居住在宿舍的男性、年轻学生,尤其是非政府大学的此类学生最为重要。
