(2) At the social influence level, our findings highlighted the presence of a selection effect in adolescent friendships. Specifically, adolescents were more likely to form friendships with peers of the same gender, socioeconomic status (SES), and similar levels of nonaggressive delinquency and moral disengagement. (3) Regarding friends' negative behaviors and attitudes, friends' moral disengagement and peer victimization were not significantly associated with individual levels of proactive and reactive aggression. However, friends' nonaggressive delinquency had a significant negative association with adolescents' reactive aggression, while no significant association was found with proactive aggression.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Conclusion</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>This study used SAOMs to examine how individual and social factors influence adolescent aggression, finding that individual delinquency and moral disengagement significantly associated with aggression.
