Results: There were positive correlations between the adolescents’ automatic thoughts, and physical aggression, and anger. According to regression analysis, automatic thoughts effectively predicted the level of physical aggression (b = 0.233, P < 0.001)) and anger (b = 0.325, P < 0.001). Analysis of the mediating role of anger showed that anger fully mediated the relationship between automatic ...
