Being at a disadvantage and perceiving this predicament to be unfair are at the core of the experience of personal relative deprivation. Previous research has shown that personal relative deprivation is associated with interpersonal aggression. The present longitudinal study extended these investigations by examining the impact of personal relative deprivation on aggression over time. In fact, personal relative deprivation at Time 1 was associated with reported aggression at Time 2 even when controlling for the impact of aggression at Time 1. As a secondary goal, we aimed to show that the effect of personal relative deprivation (i.e., increased aggression) may spread through the participant's social network. Egocentric networking data showed that individuals who perceive their friends as being personally deprived are more aggressive and that this relationship statistically holds when taking the individual's level of personal relative deprivation into account. Limitations of this approach are discussed.
处于劣势并认为这种困境不公平是个人相对剥夺感的核心。先前的研究表明,个人相对剥夺感与人际攻击有关。本纵向研究通过考察个人相对剥夺感随时间对攻击行为的影响,扩展了这些研究。事实上,即使在控制了第一时间的攻击行为的影响后,第一时间的个人相对剥夺感仍与第二时间的报告攻击行为相关。作为次要目标,我们旨在表明个人相对剥夺感(即增加的攻击性)的影响可能会通过参与者的社交网络传播。以自我为中心的网络数据显示,那些认为自己的朋友被剥夺个人权利的人攻击性更强,而当考虑到个人的相对剥夺感水平时,这种关系在统计学上成立。本文还讨论了这种方法的局限性。
