Abstract: Objective To explore the relationship between aggressive behavior and type D personality,reverse psychology in junior high school students,so as to provide reference for preventing and reducing aggressive behavior of junior high school students. Methods From March to May 2022,a stratified cluster random sampling method was adopted to select 922 students from three junior middle schools in Xinxiang City as the research objects. The general data questionnaire,aggression questionnaire,type D personality inventory and psychological reactance scale were used for questionnaire survey,and the data were analyzed. Results Among 922 students from three junior middle schools in Xinxiang City,the total score of aggressive behavior was(70.67±21.04)points,and the average score of items was(2.08±0.62)points. There were statistically significant differences in the score of aggressive behavior among junior high school students with different gender,academic ranking,feeling neglected,left-behind experience,family education and being disciplined by the school(all P<0.05). The aggressive behavior of junior high school students was positively correlated with type D personality and reverse psychology(r=0.586,0.711,both P<0.01). The reverse psychology,type D personality,gender and feeling ignored had predictive effects on the total score of aggressive behavior of junior high school students(β=1.367,0.593,-3.272,-4.242,all P<0.05),which could explain 57.1% of the variation,and were the main factor influencing the total score of aggressive behavior(R2=0.571,F=306.902,P<0.01). Conclusion The aggression level of 922 students from three junior middle schools in Xinxiang City is medium,and the type D personality and reverse psychology are related to aggressive behavior of junior middle school students,so society,school and family should strengthen mental health education of junior middle school students to reduce the occurrence of aggressive behavior.
