Abstract

Despite previous research highlighting the impact of relational aggression on interpersonal relationships, few studies have examined the occurrence of this phenomenon during adolescence. To address this gap we conducted a crosssectional study of 702 Chinese adolescents to examine the association between emotional awareness and relational aggression, and the moderating effect of Machiavellianism. Our results revealed that there was a significant correlation between emotional awareness and relational aggression, and that Machiavellianism moderated this relationship. Specifically, we found that emotional awareness was a stronger negative predictor of relational aggression at low versus high levels of Machiavellianism. These findings provide new insight into potential strategies for reducing adolescent relational aggression.

情绪意识与青少年关系攻击:马基雅维利主义的调节作用

尽管先前的研究强调了关系攻击对人际关系的影响，但很少有研究调查了这种现象在青春期的发生。为了解决这一问题，我们对702名中国青少年进行了横断面研究，探讨了情绪意识与关系攻击的关系，以及马基雅维利主义的调节作用。结果表明，情绪意识与关系攻击之间存在显著的相关性，而马基雅维利主义调节了这一关系。具体来说，我们发现情绪意识在马基雅维利主义的低水平和高水平下是关系攻击的一个更强的负面预测因子。这些发现为减少青少年关系攻击的潜在策略提供了新的见解。
