The Association between Teacher-student Relationship and Aggressive Behavior in Elementary School Students:Roles of Self-esteem and Parent-child Cohesion
In the current study,5482 students in grade 4 to 6 from 7 elementary schools were investigated to explore the relationship between teacher-student relationship and aggressive behavior of elementary school students through questionnaires,and to examine the mechanism of self-esteem and parent-child cohesion.After controlling for gen-der and age,the results showed that:(1)The teacher-student relationship significantly negatively predicted aggres-sive behavior of elementary school students;(2)Teacher-student relationship indirectly negatively predicted ag-gressive behavior of elementary school students through self-esteem;(3)Both the direct and indirect effects of teacher-student relationship on aggressive behavior of elementary school students were moderated by parent-child cohesion.Specifically,with the increase of parent-child cohesion,the positive predictive effect of teacher-student relationship on self-esteem and the negative predictive effect on aggressive behavior were enhanced,while the nega-tive predictive effect of self-esteem on aggressive behavior was weakened,and vice versa.This study is helpful to reveal the relationship between teacher-student relationship and aggressive behavior of elementary school students and has certain implications for the prevention and intervention of aggressive behavior of elementary school students.
