This study aims to reveal the relationship between personality characteristics and verbal or physical aggression in Vietnamese adolescents.
We recruited 3003 participants [1498 boys (49.9%) and 1505 girls (50.1%); mean age ± SD = 13.50 ± 0.936] who we tested with the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire - Brief version (EPQ-BV), and Vietnamese Aggression Scale (VAS). A multivariate analysis of variance test, Pearson Correlation, and analyzing mediating variable interaction is used to analyze data.
The findings suggested a significant interaction between personality traits, specifically extraversion and neuroticism, and physical aggression, verbal aggression, and anger. Students with higher levels of personality had higher levels of verbal aggression, and students with higher levels of physical aggression and anger had stronger personality traits than others and lower levels of physical aggression and anger. Personality traits, specifically extraversion, and neuroticism, differed significantly by gender and school years in adolescence. Mediation analysis revealed a positive and statistically significant indirect correlation between personality traits and physically aggressive behavior, with anger as a mediator. Similarly, a positive and statistically significant indirect correlation between personality traits and verbally aggressive behavior through anger was found. The relationship between personality traits and physical aggression was also significant via verbal aggression and anger.
This study improved our understanding of personality traits and verbal or physical aggression. Most crucially, physical and verbal aggression mediate personality traits and aggressive conduct. In secondary school, gender and school year affected extraversion and neuroticism. This discovery illuminates personality-based aggressiveness intervention.
本研究旨在揭示越南青少年的人格特征与言语或身体攻击行为之间的关系。
我们招募了3003名参与者[1498名男孩（49.9%）和1505名女孩（50.1%）；平均年龄±标准差=13.50±0.936]，使用艾森克人格问卷简版（EPQ-BV）和越南攻击量表（VAS）对其进行测试。采用多变量方差分析、皮尔逊相关性分析以及中介变量交互作用分析来分析数据。
研究结果表明，人格特质，特别是外向性和神经质，与身体攻击、言语攻击和愤怒之间存在显著的交互作用。人格水平较高的学生言语攻击水平较高，身体攻击和愤怒水平较高的学生比其他人具有更强的人格特质，且身体攻击和愤怒水平较低。在青春期，人格特质，特别是外向性和神经质，在性别和学年方面存在显著差异。中介分析显示，人格特质与身体攻击行为之间存在正向且具有统计学意义的间接相关性，愤怒作为中介变量。同样，发现人格特质与言语攻击行为之间通过愤怒也存在正向且具有统计学意义的间接相关性。人格特质与身体攻击之间通过言语攻击和愤怒也存在显著关系。
本研究增进了我们对人格特质与言语或身体攻击行为的理解。最关键的是，身体和言语攻击在人格特质与攻击行为之间起中介作用。在中学阶段，性别和学年会影响外向性和神经质。这一发现为基于人格的攻击性干预提供了启示。
