Previous research reported significant relationship between Big Five personality traits and aggression in both adolescent's and adult population. However, it is unclear about whether similar connection exist in early age. This study investigated how personality traits and family environment influence the development of aggression in school aged Saudi children. A sample of 315 school going children were recruited voluntarily to complete a set of measures examining Big Five personality factors, family environment and aggression. Correlation analysis were employed to evaluate association between Big Five personality traits, family environment and aggression. The results showed a significant relationship of Big Five personality factors and family environment factors to aggression. The findings of the study revealed that amongst the Big Five personality traits conscientiousness, agreeableness, and neuroticism were strongest antecedents of childhood aggression. Family environment characterized by family cohesion, expressiveness and conflict were appeared to be significant antecedents of aggressive behavior in children. This study expands our knowledge about the intervention strategies of aggression from Big Five traits and family environment perspectives.
先前的研究报告称,在青少年和成年人群体中,大五人格特质与攻击性之间存在显著关系。然而,尚不清楚在儿童早期是否存在类似的联系。本研究调查了人格特质和家庭环境如何影响沙特学龄儿童攻击性的发展。315名学龄儿童自愿参与样本,完成了一系列考察大五人格因素、家庭环境和攻击性的测量。采用相关分析来评估大五人格特质、家庭环境与攻击性之间的关联。结果显示,大五人格因素和家庭环境因素与攻击性之间存在显著关系。该研究结果表明,在大五人格特质中,尽责性、宜人性和神经质是儿童期攻击性最强的前因。以家庭凝聚力、表达性和冲突为特征的家庭环境似乎是儿童攻击行为的重要前因。本研究从大五人格特质和家庭环境的角度扩展了我们对攻击性干预策略的认识。
