“…Our results confirmed that self-control significantly mediated the relationship between school climate and aggression. On the one hand, we found that the school climate was positively associated with self-control, which supports previous research showing that positive school climates are important environmental factors in the proper development of self-control [25]. According to Gottfredson and Hirschi [24], schools and teachers…”

“…Previous studies have also shown that different dimensions of the school climate (e.g., cohesion, friction, and overall satisfaction) are significantly related to effortful control [22]. Zhang et al [25] similarly found a significant positive correlation between school climate and self-control (e.g., effort control). A longitudinal study also demonstrated that self-control was significantly impacted by school classroom characteristics [26].…”

While previous studies have shown evidence of an association between school climate and aggression, few have explored the mechanisms behind this association. As such, this cross-sectional study focused on both the mediating effects of self-control and the moderating effects of the parent-child relationship on the association between school climate and aggression. Data were obtained through an anonymous survey conducted among 1030 Chinese elementary and middle school students (52.72% male, average age = 11.53 years), who responded to items on school climate, aggression, self-control, and the parent-child relationship. First, the results showed that school climate was negatively associated with aggression. Second, a mediation analysis showed that self-control significantly mediated the association between school climate and aggression. Third, a moderated mediation analysis showed that the parent-child relationship significantly moderated the first stage of the indirect path (school climate → self-control). Specifically, this association was notably stronger among children and adolescents with better parent-child relationships. In sum, these findings constitute a valuable reference for both improving self-control and in the context of targeted interventions aimed at preventing aggression in children and adolescents in China.

“…Similarly, it was also found that school climate significantly influenced problem behavior (Ly et al, 2021;Reaves et al, 2018). This contrasts with research found in China which stated that school climate did not affect adolescent acquaintances (Jingyi Zhang et al, 2020).…”

The study aimed to analyze the inculcation of student character values in schools in Palembang City. The study used a quantitative descriptive method. The data collection used observation, questionnaires, and documentation. The sample of the research was 66 samples with quota sampling technique. The study found that the lack of exemplary reinforcement and habituation decreased the understanding and reflection of students' behavioral character values. Furthermore, learning about character values was integrated through the subjects of Civics and Islamic Religious Education. While the school gave the exemplary family and community reinforcement in the form of regulations, policies, and cooperation between schools, families, and communities regularly, as well as habituation of living with character in daily life was still not optimal. It needed to be optimized again so that the character values in students were closely and maximally attached to students both from speech and action.

“…Such a finding highlights the risk role of deviant peer affiliation in the development of depression and NSSI among adolescents. With the growth of age, adolescents spend more time in school [52] and interact more with their peers, so peers have more influence on adolescents [53]. In addition, the role of peers becomes more important during adolescence [54].…”

Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is an emerging health problem among adolescents. Although previous studies have shown that deviant peer affiliation is an important risk factor for this behavior, the reasons for this relationship are unclear. Based on the integrated theoretical model of the development and maintenance of NSSI and the social development model of delinquency prevention, this study tested whether depression mediated the relationship between deviant peer affiliation and NSSI and whether this mediating effect was moderated by sensation seeking. A sample of 854 Chinese adolescents (31.50% male; Mage = 16.35; SD = 1.15) anonymously completed questionnaires on the study variables. Results of regression-based analyses showed that depression mediated the association between deviant peer affiliation and NSSI, and this effect was stronger among adolescents who reported high sensation seeking. The results demonstrate the role of individual differences in the link between affiliation with deviant peers and NSSI, and have implications for preventing and treating this risky behavior.
