Consequently, we developed and validated a Two-Dimensional Collective Violence Beliefs Scale (CVBS: 2D) that distinguishes between violence targeted at outgroup members, referred to as diffuse collective violence, and violence targeted at outgroup leaders, which we term upward collective violence.

The limited body of past research focused on hostile anger expression by cyclists as a way of expressing anger. By contrast, the current research provides evidence on cyclists' use of instrumental aggression in terms of making faster or smoother progress. In a cross-sectional study with a representative sample of cyclists in Germany (<i>N</i> = 1240, 685 men, 555 women), participants completed measures of their aggressive cycling behavior, frequency of cycling, perceptions of others' aggressive cycling, and traffic-related stress. A subgroup of participants who also identified as car drivers (<i>n</i> = 1135) additionally completed a measure of aggressive car driving. Self-reported aggressive cycling was higher among men than among women. Age and frequency of using the bike were negatively related to aggressive cycling, whereas traffic-related stress showed a positive association. Reflecting the “better-than-average” effect, participants believed that others showed significantly more aggressive cycling than themselves. Finally, we found a strong correlation between self-reports of aggressive cycling and aggressive car driving.

Bushman","doi":"10.1002/ab.70057","DOIUrl":"10.1002/ab.70057","url":null,"abstract":"<p>Aggression and emotional distress are all too common in at-risk adolescents in closed residential institutions, which often contain restrictive conditions such as overcrowding, lack of autonomy, and shifting staff–youth relationships. In war-torn areas like Israel, these restrictive conditions are amplified with additional stressors such as the threat of injury or even death. In such settings, feasibility studies are greatly needed to investigate how to reduce aggression and emotional distress in vulnerable adolescents. This feasibility randomized clinical trial evaluated the effectiveness of a virtual reality (VR)-based relaxation intervention in decreasing self-reported aggression tendencies and emotional distress and increasing positive psychological states among at-risk Israeli adolescents in residential care. Fifty-two participants from different residential facilities were randomly assigned to a treatment group (<i>n</i> = 27), who received twice-weekly VR relaxation sessions, or a waitlist control group (<i>n</i> = 25). Self-report measures of aggression and emotional distress were administered at baseline, midway through the intervention (2 weeks), and at the end of the intervention (4 weeks). Mixed-effects linear models suggest that the treatment group demonstrated clear reductions in both aggression and emotional distress across the intervention period relative to the control group (Hedges' <i>gs</i>: 0.85–1.42). In addition, immediately before and after each VR session, participants in the treatment group reported consistent increases in positive mood and flow experience (Hedges' <i>gs</i>: 0.45–0.73). These preliminary findings support the utility of brief VR relaxation practices in reducing negative emotional states and fostering well-being among high-risk youth in closed institutional settings.</p><p>\u0000 <b>Trial Registration:</b> This study was pre-registered on the Open Science Framework (OSF) prior to data collection.

Lacko et al. concluded that exposure to violent video games had no significant effect on aggression. However, a critical examination of their study reveals six major concerns: (1) inferring cause from correlational data, (2) inaccurate claims about the General Aggression Model, (3) an unexpected positive association between empathy and aggression, (4) questionable measurement validity, (5) excessive missing data, and (6) overparameterization in their longitudinal model.

The reanalysis revealed a strong positive association between violent video game exposure and aggression at the between-person level, but a negative association at the within-person level. No significant relationship was found between violent game exposure and empathy at the between-person level. However, a negative within-person effect of violent game exposure on subsequent cognitive empathy was observed, whereas no such effect was found for affective empathy.

Recognizing cyberbullying as a critical issue with alarming prevalence rates among Chinese adolescents and its detrimental effects on well-being, this study aims to illuminate pathways within the cycle of victimization. Drawing on social rank theory, which posits that early maltreatment fosters submissive strategies that heighten vulnerability to victimization, and the resilience framework, which emphasizes the protective role of assets such as social-emotional competence (SEC), this study examined whether submissive behavior mediates the association between psychological maltreatment (psychological abuse and neglect) and cyberbullying victimization, and whether SEC buffers these pathways. A three-wave cross-sectional survey with 1 week apart was conducted with 1,323 Chinese adolescents from five public schools in Beijing and Hunan Province. Utilizing structural equation modeling, results suggested that submissive behavior fully mediated the relation between psychological abuse and cyberbullying victimization, and partially mediated the relation between psychological neglect and cyberbullying victimization. Importantly, while SEC did not moderate the link between psychological maltreatment and submissive behavior, it significantly buffered the association between submissive behavior and cyberbullying victimization. These findings help outline a model of how psychological maltreatment may contribute to vulnerability to cyberbullying from a social rank perspective and highlight the protective role of social-emotional competence in mitigating these risks among adolescents.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":50842,"journal":{"name":"Aggressive Behavior","volume":"51 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145460225","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
