Abstract

This study examined cultural specificity in how interpretations about peer provocation are associated with revenge goals and aggression. The sample consisted of young adolescents from the United States (369 seventh-graders; 54.7% male; 77.2% identified as White) and from Pakistan (358 seventh-graders; 39.2% male). Participants rated their interpretations and revenge goals in response to six peer provocation vignettes and completed peer nominations of aggressive behavior. Multi-group SEM models indicated cultural specificity in how interpretations were related to revenge goals. Interpretations that a friendship with the provocateur was unlikely were uniquely related to revenge goals for Pakistani adolescents. For U.S adolescents positive interpretations were negatively related to revenge but self-blame interpretations were positively related to vengeance goals. Revenge goals were related to aggression similarly across groups.

对同伴挑衅的解释和报复目标:比较美国和巴基斯坦的青少年。

本研究考察了对同伴挑衅的解释如何与报复目标和攻击相关联的文化特异性。样本包括来自美国的青少年(369名七年级学生;男性54.7%;77.2%为白人)和来自巴基斯坦(358名七年级学生;39.2%的男性)。参与者根据六个同伴挑衅小插曲对他们的解释和报复目标进行评分，并完成同伴对攻击行为的提名。多组SEM模型显示了解释与复仇目标之间的文化特异性。与挑衅者的友谊不太可能的解释与巴基斯坦青少年的报复目标有关。对于美国青少年来说，积极解释与复仇负相关，而自责解释与复仇目标正相关。在不同群体中，复仇目标与攻击性之间的关系相似。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Behavioral Development is the official journal of the International Society for the Study of Behavioural Development, which exists to promote the discovery, dissemination and application of knowledge about developmental processes at all stages of the life span - infancy, childhood, adolescence, adulthood and old age. The Journal is already the leading international outlet devoted to reporting interdisciplinary research on behavioural development, and has now, in response to the rapidly developing fields of behavioural genetics, neuroscience and developmental psychopathology, expanded its scope to these and other related new domains of scholarship. In this way, it provides a truly world-wide platform for researchers which can facilitate a greater integrated lifespan perspective. In addition to original empirical research, the Journal also publishes theoretical and review papers, methodological papers, and other work of scientific interest that represents a significant advance in the understanding of any aspect of behavioural development. The Journal also publishes papers on behaviour development research within or across particular geographical regions. Papers are therefore considered from a wide range of disciplines, covering all aspects of the lifespan. Articles on topics of eminent current interest, such as research on the later life phases, biological processes in behaviour development, cross-national, and cross-cultural issues, and interdisciplinary research in general, are particularly welcome.
