Abstract

Peer group integration is a crucial acculturative goal for immigrant adolescents who, in order to reach this goal, may use bullying and/or aggressive behavior. The present study aims to explore the underlying aggression motives by investigating the importance of three motives (anger, power, and affiliation) for five different forms of aggressive behavior (bullying, cyberbullying, physical, verbal, and relational aggression) in three groups of adolescents (non-immigrants, first-generation and second-generation immigrants) in Cyprus. The sample consists of 507 non-immigrant Greek Cypriots, 149 first-generation and 93 second-generation immigrants (age M = 16.1, SD = 0.39; range 15-19; 52% female). Data was collected via validated self-report scales. In line with our hypotheses, latent means and covariances structure (MACS) models revealed that the affiliation motive was a stronger predictor for all five forms of aggressive behavior among first-generation immigrant adolescents indicating that the need to belong is especially important for their acculturation. The practical importance of these findings for better integrating newcomer immigrants in schools and aggression prevention are discussed.

归属需求是塞浦路斯移民青少年(网络)欺凌和攻击行为的动机。
对于移民青少年来说,同伴群体融合是一个至关重要的异文化目标,为了达到这一目标,他们可能会使用欺凌和/或攻击行为。本研究旨在通过调查塞浦路斯三组青少年(非移民、第一代和第二代移民)中三种动机(愤怒、权力和归属)对五种不同形式的攻击行为(欺凌、网络欺凌、身体攻击、言语攻击和关系攻击)的重要性,探讨潜在的攻击动机。样本包括507名非移民希族塞人,149名第一代移民和93名第二代移民(年龄M = 16.1, SD = 0.39;15 - 19;52%的女性)。数据通过有效的自我报告量表收集。根据我们的假设,潜均值和协方差结构(MACS)模型显示,隶属动机对第一代移民青少年的所有五种攻击行为都是一个更强的预测因子,这表明归属感对他们的文化适应尤为重要。这些发现对于更好地整合新移民学校和预防攻击的实际意义进行了讨论。

期刊介绍: The mission of New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development is to provide scientific and scholarly presentations on cutting edge issues and concepts in the field of child and adolescent development. Each issue focuses on a specific new direction or research topic, and is peer reviewed by experts on that topic. Any topic in the domain of child and adolescent development can be the focus of an issue. Topics can include social, cognitive, educational, emotional, biological, neuroscience, health, demographic, economical, and socio-cultural issues that bear on children and youth, as well as issues in research methodology and other domains. Topics that bridge across areas are encouraged, as well as those that are international in focus or deal with under-represented groups. The readership for the journal is primarily students, researchers, scholars, and social servants from fields such as psychology, sociology, education, social work, anthropology, neuroscience, and health. We welcome scholars with diverse methodological and epistemological orientations.
