“…Baumeister [ 22 ] considers that self-esteem relevance has been exaggerated as this construct is not the cause, but rather the consequence of many conditions with which it has traditionally been related. That would explain the lack of congruence between multiple studies in which both low and high self-esteem predicts aggression [ 20 , 22 , 99 ]. Other studies also affirm that there is no relationship between self-esteem and aggression [ 100 ].…”

Personal and Environmental Predictors of Aggression in Adolescence

This study aims to find causal factors of aggression in a group of Latino adolescents to achieve a greater understanding of human nature, taking into account personal and contextual variables. The fundamental hypothesis is that moral disengagement, personality traits, self-esteem, values, parenting, sex, and socioeconomic situation can function as possible casual factors of aggression in adolescents. The study examined the variables using the structural equations model (SEM) to determine causal factors of aggression in a sample of 827 adolescents (54% men and 46% women) between 11 and 16 years of age. According to the scientific literature review, sociodemographic, personal, and familiar variables were included in the causal model. The influence of the variables occurred in two ways: one that inhibits aggression and the other that reinforces it. The results are discussed based on identifying protective and risk factors against aggression: biological sex and values of conformity and transcendence as aggression’s inhibitors and, on the other hand, openness, moral disengagement, and leadership values as the most important predictors of aggression.

“…The analyses showed that global levels of selfesteem do not mediate the relationship between physical activity and aggression in youth, which is why the third hypothesis should be rejected. A study by Martínez-Martínez et al (2018) showed that relational and overt aggressiveness are related to selfesteem and physical activity. However, aggression and physical activity in this study were analysed using a different theoretical construct.…”

health psychology report • volume 7(3), 9 original article background Puberty is a particularly important period for moulding one's lifestyle. Physical activity (PA) levels exhibited by teenagers remain low despite efforts to promote it, and the percentage of individuals who are exempt from taking part in physical education classes is high. In this context, the aim of the current study is to analyse the levels of aggression and self-esteem in adolescents characterised by different levels of physical activity. participants and procedure A total of 968 16-year-old adolescents took part in the study. Participants were divided into four subgroups: 1) a nonactive group, n = 141 (95 girls); 2) a physical education (PE) group, n = 514 (322 girls); 3) a high PA group, n = 178 (81 girls); and 4) an athlete group, n = 135 (66 girls). Participants were asked to complete a socio-demographic survey and a set of questionnaires (IPAO, KAM-RE, and SES). results The non-active group scored higher than the PE and high PA groups on the general aggressiveness scale. Statistically significant differences were found between the non-active group and other groups for direct and indirect aggression, opposition, and verbal aggression. The athlete group scored higher on the indirect aggression scale than the PE group. The high PA group scored higher than the non-active group in self-esteem. conclusions Undertaking compulsory physical activity in school and additional physical activity based on one's own interests is associated with lower levels of aggression in comparison to individuals who do not undertake any physical activity. For this reason, it is necessary to continue consistently promoting physical activity in school and during free time.

“…Violent behaviors in higher education are a focus of international research ( Itani et al, 2017 ; Dobarro et al, 2018 ; Martínez-Martínez et al, 2018 ; Esquivel-Santovena et al, 2020 ; Alsawalqa, 2021 ). Versatility and adaptability of violence in its physical, psychological or social forms is a challenge to the educational community in general.…”

et al. 2023

Higher education is a focus of increasing violent behavior. The evidence suggests an obsession to achieve the best academic performance in order to access working life. This research aims to develop an explanatory model of violent behavior and its relationship with self-concept and emotional intelligence according to in relation to their academic performance. A sample of 932 Spanish undergraduate students participated in the multi-group structural equation modeling. Findings revealed that students who have a higher academic performance have problems to control and regulate their emotions, showing signs of direct and indirect violence. Moreover, it was found that that emotional intelligence and self-concept have a direct influence on episodes of violent behavior, with academic performance being a key component affecting each variable. The present study provides some implications and suggests some avenues for future research.
