Multiple Mediated Effects of Depression and Dysfunctional Impulsivity in the Relation Between Perceived Parental Control and Adolescent Aggression
Abstract
This study was conducted to test multiple mediated effects of adolescents’ depression and dysfunctional impulsivity in the relation between perceived parental control and adolescent aggression. Nine-hundred fifty-seven high school students in Grade 10 participated in this study. The perceived parenting behavior scale, the K-CES-D scale, the impulsivity scale, and the reactive proactive aggression questionnaire were administered to students in their classrooms. The structural equation modeling (SEM) was employed to test the goodness of fit of the mediation models in which the relation between parental control and adolescents’ aggression is mediated by their depression and dysfunctional impulsivity. Bootstrapping procedure was applied to test the multiple mediated effects of depression and dysfunctional impulsivity. The results showed that parental control affects adolescents’ aggression through either the mediation of depression or that of dysfunctional impulsivity. More importantly, parental control affected adolescents’ depression, which in turn influenced dysfunctional impulsivity, which eventually affected aggression. Furthermore, even when depression and dysfunctional impulsivity were taken into account as mediators, the direct effect of parental control on adolescents’ aggression was significant. These results support an integrative framework delineating the role of depression and dysfunctional impulsivity as multiple mediators in the process through which parental control affects adolescents’ aggression. The results also imply the necessity of implementing both direct and indirect services in school psychological intervention and prevention for aggressive adolescents. Finally, the limitations of this study and suggestions for future research were discussed.
