The Influence of Emotional Factors on Aggressive Behavior of Middle School Students

Table 3.6: The influence of emotional factors on aggressive behavior of middle school students


Note: Clauses marked with * are scored in reverse order to the remaining clauses.

The higher the GPA, the more dissatisfied, unhappy, uninterested, and normal the HSTHC students feel, and the more afraid and worried they are when they have HVGH .


Above are the opinions of HSTHCS about the influence of emotional factors on HVGH when they perform it and when they witness it. Most of the students surveyed said that they did not feel completely satisfied (79.3%), excited (78.5%) or happy (78.2%) when participating in the HVGH. Talking about their aggressive behavior, the students interviewed who committed this behavior said that it was a way to release anger and protest when they were too repressed, could not control their emotions, and lacked composure in the situations they encountered. There are many reasons to mention the aggressive situations that occur in schools, but most of them affirmed that their aggressive behavior did not bring positive emotions as expected, such as satisfaction, happiness, and comfort. On the contrary, some students felt regretful, blamed themselves " for acting without thinking in a moment of anger ", or worried when their aggressive behavior was reported and they had to be disciplined by the school and family.

In addition, a number of students also said that when they have HVGH, they feel satisfied (9.4%), excited (12%), or happy (1.2%) because they can release their anger in a "satisfying" way with the mentality of "aggression".


must pay with aggression" as in the case of Nguyen Thi L - a student of class 7C - Co Bi Secondary School " I have been bad-mouthed by T many times, he is not good so now being beaten is also deserved "; or enjoy showing strength in front of others, this can be said about the bullying situation in school such as: " H is a new transfer student here and was surrounded and isolated by a group of special elements from class H who just transferred here, not allowed to approach friends from other classes and forced H to obey all the orders of this group " - Bui Quoc K, a student of class 7C - Co Bi Secondary School told about a case of bullying in class 6D of the same school... When performing these aggressive acts has become " joy ", it is easy to create a bad habit of enjoying the use of violence in all situations. Not only are students the subject of HVGH, but even those who only witness this negative behavior, instead of finding ways to prevent it in time and help the victims, may do nothing, be indifferent to the incident they encounter at school, or may join groups to cheer, film, and take pictures of school violence to show off to friends as a "trophy" or a pastime. The indifferent, apathetic, and even amused attitude towards violent incidents occurring at school by a group of students not only shows a worrying reality of HVGH that has been and is still happening, but this issue has contributed to reflecting a distorted perception of behavioral culture, and a lack of responsibility to build a healthy, friendly school environment for the students themselves. This not only causes frustration in schools but is also a matter of great concern for the development of all aspects of the students themselves, their families, and the whole society.

Mr. Nguyen Ngoc A., a parent of a student at Co Bi Secondary School, expressed his opinion on this issue: “ Students are always like that, people say “first is devil, second is spirit, third is student” and there is nothing wrong with that. Quarrels, conflicts or beatings at school are not new, but it can be said that they have increased many times compared to before. At the age of half adult, half child, when awareness is not yet complete, there is also impetuosity, competitiveness, self-expression and just when there is a conflict of interests, they are ready to use violence against each other. At that time, violence to them is


solved the problem and initially felt satisfied because they “taught a lesson” to their opponent. However, this feeling quickly disappeared, replaced by anxiety, and even fear of being discovered by others and possibly punished for their behavior . ” Most students were not aware of their aggressive actions before committing them and when the consequences occurred, they could not avoid feeling guilty and anxious (62.9%) and (26.2%).

3.2.1.3. Level of participation in some types of entertainment with unhealthy content of middle school students

In fact, media and entertainment have a great influence on students' aggressive behavior. When students access and collect inaccurate and unfiltered information, it is easy to lead to wrong perceptions and deviant behavior. The media has also reported many stories about students playing too many violent games, imagining themselves as characters in the game and brutally killing their loved ones... Therefore, although media and entertainment have their positive aspects, they are also a potential danger that causes aggressive behavior in students.

The table below illustrates the level of student participation in various forms of recreation.

Note: The higher the GPA, the higher the level of participation in unhealthy forms of entertainment.

Above are some popular forms of entertainment through the media. The highest level of regular participation of students is " watching the internet, comics, martial arts, newspapers... reporting on murders, robberies, brawls, and fights accounting for 9.1%. It is not difficult to understand why this situation exists because the rapid and widespread popularity of the internet and mass media today creates conditions for students to easily access and update all information, including issues related to violence that have been and are happening, causing outrage and pain in public opinion. With their age psychology, students are easily attracted and curious about "sensational" information that causes "a stir in public opinion" and do not want to be outsiders in such stories. However, it does not stop there, when students' awareness is still incomplete, their psychology is not stable, their personality is in the process of being formed and perfected, they access information, participate in unhealthy forms of entertainment regularly; and at the level of occasional participation in watching action movies, movies with violent content is the most. When participating in these types of entertainment, students feel happy and excited. Playing online games with violent content is also a regular activity of 4.7% of participating students . Some students, when asked more about their feelings when participating in the above forms of entertainment, said that they often felt stressed, tired and depressed, worried about their academic performance declining. " At first, when participating in these types of entertainment, I felt happy and addicted, but playing too much, concentrating so hard that I lost sleep and became too stressed and my studies declined. My parents found out, so since I was in 7th grade, I stopped playing " - Nguyen Ngoc S., class 8A, Ninh Hiep Secondary School, recounted. Instead of the positive effects of the mentioned forms of entertainment to help relieve stress in the true sense, abusing them in an unhealthy way and this situation occurring frequently and continuously will bring about consequences that can be mentioned such as physical: insomnia, fatigue, nervous tension, psychological instability, and poor academic performance.


decline; about behavior with a tendency to violence, attack... these are the things that create concerns for parents in controlling and adjusting their children's behavior. At the same time, it is a challenge for school administrators in the face of the reality that students are at risk of increasing violent tendencies in school behavior.

3.2.2. Some objective factors affecting the aggressive behavior of junior high school students

3.2.2.1. Parent-child relationship in the family

The family environment is an especially important educational environment for the development of personality as well as all aspects of each member, especially for children. A cultured, healthy, well-educated family will create a safe environment for family members to develop and form good personalities. On the contrary, a family that always has conflicts and tensions, lacks a father or mother who always has to worry about life or has a family member who has social evils is an unsafe environment. Students living in these families often lack care and attention, are stressed, tired, and have conflicts in the family, which seriously affects their studies and thinking. In particular, if the treatment between family members is violent, they easily form in their thinking a tendency to solve all problems with violence.

Note: The higher the GPA, the more conflicted and tense the relationship between parents.


According to our survey in this study, when asked, there is a group of students who said that they are not living with their biological parents, the reason why they do not live with their parents is because: their parents work far away, are divorced or have passed away. These children will lack the conditions for care and education from their parents, lack affection and are in great need of proper attention to create conditions for them to be educated, study and develop their personality comprehensively.

On the other hand, in the family, when the relationship between members lacks close attachment, the heavy atmosphere of "back and forth words", of quarrels and conflicts between parents occurs and children have to witness those scenes regularly. This not only causes current psychological trauma but also becomes an obsession throughout the child's development process later on. The above table shows the relationship between parents in the families of the surveyed students, clearly showing the rate of parents regularly quarreling with each other up to 84.7%. This number is alarming for a sad reality that is happening in the families of the surveyed students. Nguyen Thi L, a student of class 6B at Co Bi Secondary School, recounted: " My father often comes home late at night, sometimes drunk, so my mother is not satisfied. My parents often argue loudly at times like that, I don't know what to do." Also from the table of data shows that 74.9% of parents occasionally fight - the use of violence in family relationships, although not with the continuous frequency according to the statistics above, but the image of fathers and mothers who are not in harmony in front of their children can create emotional trauma, torment and suffering for the children, even more dangerously, they can become a place to vent their parents' anger. Aggressive behavior from words to actions, initially manifested as arguments, then criticism, insults and then the inability to control, leading to frequent acts of violence by parents in the family that children have to witness, can unintentionally form a habit of reacting with violence to resist or cope with situations encountered.


3.2.2.2. Parents' ways of educating and managing their children

Educating children in the family plays an important role in the process of growing up and forming the personality of children. In today's era of abundant material comforts, many children are caught up in the fast pace of life with the internet, online games, social evils... More than anyone else, children need the guidance, education, and guidance towards good things in life from their parents.

Society is increasingly developing, parents are busy day and night with work that many people have forgotten their extremely important role which is educating their children. In the dynamic and modern life, some people even think that money is everything, they have given the responsibility of educating their children to the school, to the maid, to the tutors... They do not know that behind that are the consequences of children, children who lack the love and education of their parents that no one can replace.

Note: The higher the GPA, the more severe the method of educating and managing children.


In families where the relationship between parents and their children is loose, lacking in attachment, care and the indifference of parents is also a form of mental harm to children, " My parents don't pay much attention to what I do, where I go, what my friends are like because it takes too much time. My parents told me that when I grow up, I have to take care of myself and take responsibility for myself, " said Nguyen Ngoc T, a student of grade 8A at Co Bi Secondary School. This is not simply a matter of giving children autonomy, but a clear manifestation of parents' indifference and lack of care for their children. Children cannot avoid feeling lonely and lost in their own families. At their age, although they can make their own decisions and choices in certain aspects, their awareness is still in the process of formation and completion. Students do not have enough awareness to make their own decisions in all situations and need appropriate and timely adjustments and management from their families. However, 19.6% of students believe that their parents mostly and almost completely let them solve their own problems. This inevitably makes them feel awkward and do not know who to turn to for help because even their relatives do not care. When students feel excessive pressure from studying and feelings of depression, lacking timely support and encouragement from their parents, they may become frustrated, withdrawn, lose confidence or react negatively by being aggressive or opposing teachers, not complying with school regulations, avoiding or even dropping out of school. Performing these negative behaviors is like a reaction to attract parents' attention to themselves but in a way that does not bring them the benefits they expect. When children are not able to meet their expectations, they become more and more angry, frustrated and inevitably vent their anger or act aggressively towards others. This can be considered a very specific example that parents need to realize the negative impact of neglecting and abandoning the management of their children and leaving everything to the teachers and schools.

The way parents educate and manage their children is in the direction of letting them "manage themselves". It can be said that from a certain perspective, the perception of the point of view
