Background and Objectives: Conduct disorder is one of the most common disorders in adolescence that is a risk factor for psychopathology in adulthood. The aim of this study was the causal modeling of conduct disorder signs based on childhood maltreatment and peer rejection with the mediating role of anger rumination.
Materials and Methods: In this descriptive-correlational study, the statistical population included all first and second periods of high school students in Urmia in the 2020-2021 academic year. Two hundred and twenty people were selected by multistage random sampling method and answered the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire, Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, Peer Social Rejection Scale, and Anger Rumination Scale. Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling.
Results: The results of structural equation modeling showed that the coefficients of direct path of childhood abuse
 
(β=0.458, p<0.001) and anger rumination (β=0.240, p=0.012) to the signs of conduct disorder were significant. In addition, childhood maltreatment and peer rejection had an indirect effect on the signs of conduct disorder with the mediating role of anger rumination.

Conclusion: The results of this study reveal that childhood maltreatment and rumination of anger can be considered as risk factors for conduct disorder. Social rejection by peers also leads to conduct disorder with increased rumination of anger. These results can be used in designing preventive and intervensional programs of conduct disorder.
