Abstract: (919 Views)
The purpose of the present study was to investigate religious coping strategies and practicing religious beliefs as predictors of aggression in elementary school boys in Bandar Abbas (Iran). The research method was descriptive and correlational. The statistical population of the present study was all male students who were studying in 13 elementary schools in Bandar Abbas in 2022. Using the accessible sampling method, 218 students were selected. Data was collected by Practicing religious beliefs questionnaire, Religious coping strategies scale and Aggression inventory for children. Data was analyzed through Pearson's correlation coefficient and regression analysis. The results showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between negative religious coping strategies and aggression in primary school boys. In other words, the more primary school boys use negative religious coping strategies, they have exhibited the more symptoms of aggression in physical, relational and verbal components. Otherwise, there was a negative association between positive religious coping strategies and physical, verbal and relational aggression components The findings can be accommodating in designing and implementing interventions to reduce aggression in primary school students.
