ABSTRACT

ObjectiveTo explore relations between self-control and aggressive behavior in college students.Methods 310 students were surveyed with Buss-Perry aggression questionnaire and self-control questionnaire(SCQ).Results①High score group in SCQ was higher with physical aggression,verbal aggression,anger,hostility and aggression scores ( respectively ( 25.86 ± 5.04 ),( 15.27 ± 2.76 ),( 20.12 ± 4.26 ),( 23.87 ±4.45 ),( 85.11 ± 11.75 ) ) than the low group ( respectively (20.26 ± 5.04 ),( 14.04 ± 3.35 ),( 13.76 ± 4.68 ),( 19.37 ±5.31 ),(67.43 ± 13.56) ),the difference was statistically significant (P＜ 0.01 ).②Self-control scores had significant positive correlations with aggressive behavior scores( r=0.60,P＜ 0.01 ).③Self-control dimension (self-emotional,simplistic tendency,impulsive risk-taking) were significant predictors of aggressive behavior(P ＜0.01 ).ConclusionSelf-control is closely related with aggressive behavior,and it is a significant predictor of aggressive behavior.
