“…the place was open to the public. Tonya's behavior is in line with the studies which stated that neuroticism has a positive relationship with aggressive behavior (Dong et al, 2022;Safara et al, 2022). It can happen because individuals who experience high levels of anxiety feel uncomfortable so the tendency of aggression is increasing.…”

Psychological issue namely neurotics has always been an important matter in human life since long ago. There have been several literary works that represent this psychological issue. From many of those works which portray psychological problems, I, Tonya is one of the representative works. In this research, the writer did a film study by using the psychoanalysis approach. The source of the data is the script and scenes of the I, Tonya movie. From the research, it can be concluded that a neurotic personality is shaped due to several aspects. Tonya Harding's childhood and culture had an impact on how she behaved as an adult. Because of her experiences as a child and the competitive culture of American citizens, she develops an aggressive personality. We can infer that Tonya's neurotic trend is gravitating away from people who behave aggressively. Instead of being a survivor, Tonya ended up as an aggressive and hostile person. In conclusion, Tonya was only able to use one neurotic trend, acting violently and manipulatively, as a coping method because of her childhood and culture.

“…Although several studies examined risk factors associated with aggression among left-behind children and adolescents, [31][32][33] only 3 studies have examined the association between parental migration and aggression, with less convincing findings due to the use of an unsuitable analysis strategy 9,11 or the failure to adjust for some important potential confounders. 10 In the present study,…”

“…Although several studies examined risk factors associated with aggression among left-behind children and adolescents, only 3 studies have examined the association between parental migration and aggression, with less convincing findings due to the use of an unsuitable analysis strategy or the failure to adjust for some important potential confounders . In the present study, we used a rational data analysis strategy and adjusted for as many as 13 potential confounders, providing robust evidence that parental migration is independently associated with an increased risk of total aggression among Chinese children and adolescents and that those offspring who were left behind are at high risk of total aggression.…”

“…21 Higher raw scores and T scores indicate higher levels of total and subtypes of aggression. Participants were grouped into 7 groups according to T scores based on the cutoff point proposed in a previous study conducted among Chinese adolescents 22 : very low (T score Յ29), low (T score [30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39], low average (T score [40][41][42][43][44], average (T score 45-55), high average (T score 56-59), high (T score 60-69), and very high (T score Ն70). In the current study, we defined high and very high groups as exhibiting corresponding aggression, while other groups were defined as no corresponding aggression.…”

ImportanceIn China, parental labor migration often leaves children behind and is potentially adversely associated with children’s health. However, the association between parental migration and aggression among their offspring remains largely underexplored.ObjectiveTo investigate the associations of parental labor migration with total and subtypes of aggression among their offspring as well as potential sex differences therein.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis cross-sectional study was conducted from February to October 2015 among students aged 11 to 20 years from 45 public middle and high schools across 5 provinces of China. Data analysis was performed from December 1, 2022, to August 1, 2023.ExposuresParental migration, including migration status (yes or no), pattern (father, mother, or both), and the child’s age at the initial parent-child separation.Main Outcomes and MeasuresTotal and subtypes of aggression (including physical aggression [PA], verbal aggression [VA], indirect aggression [IA], anger, and hostility) were measured using the Chinese version of the Buss-Warren Aggression Questionnaire. Binomial logistic regression analyses were used separately to estimate adjusted odds ratios (aORs) and 95% CIs of parental migration by total and subtypes of aggression.ResultsA total of 15 301 participants (7900 [51.6%] male and 7401 [48.4%] female) aged 11 to 20 years (mean [SD] age, 15.1 [1.8] years) were included. Of these participants, 5961 (39.0%) experienced parental migration; 2451 (16.0%) met the criteria for total aggression, 2407 (15.7%) for PA, 2283 (14.9%) for VA, 2899 (18.9%) for IA, 2307 (15.1%) for anger, and 2564 (16.8%) for hostility. Parental migration was associated with total aggression (aOR, 1.11; 95% CI, 1.01-1.22); no significant association between parental migration and subtypes of aggression was found except for PA (aOR, 1.14; 95% CI, 1.03-1.25). Compared with children whose parents did not migrate, the aORs for total aggression and PA for participants whose father migrated were 1.12 (95% CI, 1.01-1.28) and 1.15 (95% CI, 1.03-1.29), respectively; for participants with both parents having migrated, the aORs were 1.16 (95% CI, 1.02-1.31) and 1.12 (95% CI, 1.04-1.24), respectively. Compared with children whose parents did not migrate, children who experienced initial separation from 1 or both parents at adolescence had an aOR for total aggression of 1.20 (95% CI, 1.04-1.36), children who experienced initial separation from 1 or both parents at school age or adolescence had an aOR for PA of 1.15 (95% CI, 1.01-1.32) and 1.26 (95% CI, 1.04-1.51), respectively. No sex differences were found in these associations.Conclusions and RelevanceIn this cross-sectional study of Chinese children and adolescents, we found that parental migration, mainly of the father or both parents or an initial separation at adolescence or school age from 1 or both parents, was associated with higher odds of total aggression and PA among offspring. These associations were similar between male and female participants.

“…Finally, educators need to pay closer attention to the behavior and mental health status of aggressive children, identify problem behaviors quickly, and implement focused interventions. To break the cycle of bullying and aggression motivated by hostility or revenge, teachers should help children in managing negative emotion and make an appropriate attribution when intervening with aggressive children [ 57 ].…”

Previous research reported significant relationship between Big Five personality traits and aggression in both adolescent’s and adult population. However, it is unclear about whether similar connection exist in early age. This study investigated how personality traits and family environment influence the development of aggression in school aged Saudi children. A sample of 315 school going children were recruited voluntarily to complete a set of measures examining Big Five personality factors, family environment and aggression. Correlation analysis were employed to evaluate association between Big Five personality traits, family environment and aggression. The results showed a significant relationship of Big Five personality factors and family environment factors to aggression. The findings of the study revealed that amongst the Big Five personality traits conscientiousness, agreeableness, and neuroticism were strongest antecedents of childhood aggression. Family environment characterized by family cohesion, expressiveness and conflict were appeared to be significant antecedents of aggressive behavior in children. This study expands our knowledge about the intervention strategies of aggression from Big Five traits and family environment perspectives.
