Although the mechanisms of development of aggression have been focused on day by day, the complicated effects of distal and proximal factors on the development of social aggression in emerging adults have not been uncovered. A serial cascade model of aggression was proposed to address this issue. A longitudinal investigation over 2.5 years was conducted to test this model by exploring the serial cascade effects of relative deprivation (a representative of distal factors) and anger rumination (a representative of proximal factors) on the development of social aggression. A total of 1113 Chinese university students (Mage = 18.95 ± 0.96, 63.10% female) from six universities in five areas participated in this study. The results suggest that developmental trajectories and longitudinal changes in anger rumination mediate the relationship between developmental trajectories and longitudinal changes in relative deprivation and social aggression, and developmental trajectories and changes in relative deprivation mediate the longitudinal relationship between anger rumination and social aggression. These findings support the serial cascade effects of distal and proximal factors on the development of aggression and expand upon the general aggression model (GAM).
尽管人们对攻击行为的发展机制日益关注，但关于远因和近因对成年早期社交攻击发展的复杂影响，仍有待揭示。本文提出了一个攻击的连续级联模型来解决这个问题。通过探索相对剥夺（远因的代表）和愤怒反刍（近因的代表）对社会攻击发展的连续级联效应，进行了一项为期 2.5 年的纵向研究来检验该模型。共有来自五个地区六所大学的 1113 名中国大学生（Mage=18.95±0.96，63.10%为女性）参与了这项研究。结果表明，愤怒反刍的发展轨迹和纵向变化在相对剥夺和社会攻击的发展轨迹和纵向变化之间的关系中起中介作用，而相对剥夺的发展轨迹和变化在愤怒反刍和社会攻击的纵向关系中起中介作用。这些发现支持了远因和近因对攻击发展的连续级联效应，并扩展了一般攻击模型（GAM）。
