Background and Objectives: The widespread use of the Internet and social networks and the anonymity of people's identities in this space increases the scope for cyber aggression, so aggression in this field should be further investigated. This research aimed to determine the relationship between cyber aggression and emotion regulation, self-control, and depression.
Materials and Methods: In this descriptive study, the statistical population included all male students in the third grade of the first secondary school in Ahvaz in the academic year 2021-2022. Out of which, 180 were selected by random cluster sampling and individually answered cyber aggression, emotion regulation, self-control, and Beck Depression questionnaires. Data were analyzed using Pearson’s correlation coefficient and multiple linear regression statistical tests.
Results: The results showed that cyber aggression has a negative relationship with emotion regulation (r=-0.402 and p<0.01) and self-control (r=-0.434 and p<0.01), and a positive relationship with depression (r=0.343 and p<0.05). According to the results of multiple linear regression analysis, emotion regulation (β=-0.321, B=-0.333 and p<0.001) and self-control (β=-0.142, B=-0.471 and p=0.044) negatively predict aggression, but depression (β=0.090, B=0.103 and p=0.173) does not predict cyber aggression.
Conclusion: The results of this study can help therapists and psychologists in the field of health from a theoretical aspect (enrichment of theoretical concepts in the adolescent field) and an operational aspect (holding educational workshops for adolescents in the field of emotion regulation training, self-control, and depression prevention).
