Abstract

Abstract:Numerous studies consider competition and jealousy within an evolutionary framework, yet less is known about the relation between aggression vis-à-vis hypercompetitiveness (i.e., competing to win) and jealousy. We investigated the longitudinal relations between hypercompetitiveness, jealousy, and aggression and the moderating role of gender in a sample of 615 Canadian adolescents assessed annually from Grade 7 through Grade 12 using self-reports. A developmental cascade model accounting for within-time correlations, across-time stability, and cross-lag paths was used to analyze the data. Results indicated hypercompetitiveness was positively associated with aggression across several time points (Grades 7→8, Grades 8→9, and Grades 9→10) and was associated with increased jealousy in Grades 11 and 12. Indirect aggression in Grade 12 was positively associated with higher levels of jealousy in Grade 11. Few gender differences were noted. The study provides evidence for a developmental model in which hypercompetitive and jealous youth become more aggressive over time.

青春期过度竞争、嫉妒和攻击的纵向关系

摘要：许多研究在进化框架内考虑竞争和嫉妒，但对攻击性相对于超竞争性（即竞争获胜）和嫉妒之间的关系知之甚少。我们对615名加拿大青少年的样本进行了调查，这些青少年每年从7年级到12年级进行自我报告评估，调查了高竞争性、嫉妒和攻击性与性别调节作用之间的纵向关系。使用考虑时间内相关性、跨时间稳定性和交叉滞后路径的发展级联模型来分析数据。结果表明，在几个时间点上，高竞争力与攻击性呈正相关（7级→8级→9级和9级→10）并且与11年级和12年级的嫉妒增加有关。12年级的间接攻击性与11年级的嫉妒程度较高呈正相关。很少注意到性别差异。这项研究为一种发展模式提供了证据，在这种模式中，竞争激烈、嫉妒心强的年轻人会随着时间的推移变得更具攻击性。
