The COVID-19 pandemic is detrimental to sleep quality and increases aggression among college students. Nevertheless, relevant studies were rare. Hence, we collected longitudinal data during and post-campus closure in the current study to investigate the relationship between sleep disturbance and aggression.
Data from 665 college students (59.2% females, = 19.01, SD = 1.25) were collected before (wave 1) and after (wave 2) the campus closure of COVID-19. All participants were asked to fill out the Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire and the Youth Self-Rating Insomnia Scale. Two symptom networks and a cross-lagged panel network were formed and tested.
Hostility has the highest centrality in the symptom network both in waves 1 and 2, and it bridges sleep disturbance and aggression. "Easily be woken" - "wake up too early" and "wake up with tired" - "function hindrance" are two important symptom associations in networks of waves 1 and 2. All symptoms except "" and "" ameliorated after closure. Moreover, "" and "hostility" can trigger other symptoms in wave 2.
As the first study about aggression and sleep disturbance in the background of COVID-19, we provide valuable information about the relationship between sleep disturbance and aggression on the symptom dimension.
COVID-19 大流行对大学生的睡眠质量和攻击性都有不利影响。然而，相关研究却很少。因此，我们在本研究中收集了校园关闭期间和之后的纵向数据，以调查睡眠障碍与攻击性之间的关系。
本研究共收集了 665 名大学生（59.2%为女性，均值=19.01，标准差=1.25）的数据，这些数据分别来自校园关闭前（第 1 波）和关闭后（第 2 波）。所有参与者都被要求填写 Buss-Perry 攻击性问卷和青少年自评失眠量表。形成并测试了两个症状网络和一个交叉滞后面板网络。
在第 1 波和第 2 波中，敌意在症状网络中具有最高的中心性，并且它连接了睡眠障碍和攻击性。“容易被唤醒”-“早醒”和“醒来时感到疲倦”-“功能障碍”是第 1 波和第 2 波网络中的两个重要症状关联。除了“”和“”之外，所有症状在关闭后都有所改善。此外，“”和“敌意”可以在第 2 波中引发其他症状。
作为 COVID-19 背景下关于攻击性和睡眠障碍的第一项研究，我们提供了关于睡眠障碍和攻击性在症状维度上关系的有价值的信息。
