Harsh parenting can be regarded as a harsh behaviors, feelings, and attitudes toward children in the process of parenting. According to the theory of intergenerational transmission of violence, harsh parenting is an important factor affecting children's aggressive behavior, but the theory does not clarify the specific action path between harsh parenting and aggressive behavior. In order to reveal the relationship between harsh parenting and the aggressive behavior of juvenile delinquents, 604 male juvenile delinquents (N = 604; M = 16.57 years; SD = 0.612 years) were investigated using the Harsh Parenting Questionnaire, the Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire, the Multidimensional Peer Victimization Scale, and the Word Sentence Association Paradigm for Hostility in Chinese. Analysis using structural equation modeling procedures showed that (a) all variables were positively associated with each other; (b) the partial indirect effect of harsh parenting on aggressive behaviors was determined through the mediators of peer victimization and hostile attribution bias independently; and (c) the partial indirect effect was determined through the mediators of peer victimization and hostile attribution bias sequentially. The results suggest that harsh parenting can explain the highly aggressive behavior of male juvenile delinquents. Moreover, harsh parenting may also predict the risk of peer victimization and hostile attribution bias, thereby predicting the development of highly aggressive behaviors.
严厉教养可被视为在养育子女过程中对孩子的严厉行为、情感和态度。根据暴力代际传递理论，严厉教养是影响儿童攻击行为的一个重要因素，但该理论并未阐明严厉教养与攻击行为之间的具体作用路径。为了揭示严厉教养与青少年犯罪者攻击行为之间的关系，使用严厉教养问卷、布斯-佩里攻击问卷、多维同伴受害量表和中文敌意词汇句子联想范式对604名男性青少年犯罪者（N = 604；M = 16.57岁；SD = 0.612岁）进行了调查。使用结构方程建模程序进行的分析表明：（a）所有变量之间均呈正相关；（b）严厉教养对攻击行为的部分间接效应分别通过同伴受害和敌意归因偏差的中介作用来确定；（c）部分间接效应通过同伴受害和敌意归因偏差的中介作用依次确定。结果表明，严厉教养可以解释男性青少年犯罪者的高度攻击行为。此外，严厉教养还可能预测同伴受害和敌意归因偏差的风险，从而预测高度攻击行为的发展。
