Abstract

The aim of the present study was to the mediating role of vengeful tendencies in the relationship between moral identity and effortful control with antisocial behaviors in adolescents. Statistics included all high school students and samples of 567 people were selected by random multi-stage cluster method and the questionnaire of moral identity identity (Aquino & Reed, 2002), effortful control (Ellis & Rothbart, 2001), vengeful tendencies (Flores-Camacho et al., 2022) and antisocial behaviors (Burt & Donnellan, 2009) were distributed among the atatistic sample. Evaluation of the proposed model was done using path analysis. The findings showed that the proposed model has a good fit with the data. The results showed that the paths of moral identity to the vengeful tendencies, moral identity to antisocial behaviors, vengeful tendencies to antisocial behaviors are significant, and paths of effortful control to vengeful tendencies and effortful control to antisocial behaviors are insignificant. Also, other findings of the research showed that the vengeful tendencies has a mediating role in the relationship between moral identity and antisocial behaviors, but the vengeful tendencies does not has a mediating role in the relationship between effortful control and antisocial behaviors. Therefore, to help students prevent antisocial behavior, it is recommended to consider educational programs to strengthen morals and reduce the vengeful tedencies.
