Abstract

Objective: The present study was conducted to investigate the relationship between parental abuse and adolescent antisocial behaviors with the moderating role of effortful control behavior in students.

Methods: This study was a descriptive-correlation type. The research population included the students of KhorramAbad city in the academic year of 1402-1403, of which 171 people were selected by multi-stage cluster sampling method. Data collection tools included Demare Parental Abuse Questionnaire (2000), Donnellan and Burt's Antisocial Behavior Questionnaire (2009), and Ellis and Rothbart's Effortful Control Questionnaire (2001). Pearson's correlation coefficient and hierarchical regression were used to analyze the data.

Results: The results of structural equations showed that there is a significant relationship between parental maltreatment and students' antisocial behavior. Also, effortful control has a moderating role in the relationship between parental abuse and antisocial behavior.

Conclusion: Based on the results, it can be said that parental abuse significantly increases students' tendency to antisocial behavior. Meanwhile, high effortful control can reduce the negative effects of this misbehavior, while low effortful control leads to the strengthening of these effects.
