Thus, a school-based health survey was conducted in Anhui province in China in 2017. A total of 4,154 college students completed standard questionnaires which contain details of left-behind\u2013related characters, self-esteem, aggressive behavior, and sociodemographic profile. Of included students, 55.3% were those with LBE (LBEs). Compared to students without left-behind experiences (NLBEs), LBEs had significantly increased scores of aggressive behavior and decreased score of self-esteem. The increased aggression in LBEs was highly related to longer left-behind duration, younger age of left-behind for the first time, and decreased self-esteem. On the other side, the aggressive behavior was demonstrated negatively correlated with self-esteem in both LBEs and NLBEs. There was an interaction effect of left-behind duration and self-esteem on physical aggression and of frequency of contacting with parents and self-esteem on verbal aggression. Besides, the interaction of primary caregiver and self-esteem on hostility and aggression toward self were also observed, respectively. Our results indicated LBEs and low self-esteem are associated with increased risk of aggressive behavior in Chinese young adults. The increased aggressive behavior in LBEs were highly related to longer left-behind duration, younger age of left-behind for the first time and decreased self-esteem. In those LBEs with some certain left-behind\u2013related characters, aggressive behavior decreased more prominently with the increase of self-esteem. Strategies to improve self-esteem, particularly among young adults who have certain characters of LBE, should be a significant component of prevention and interventions of aggressive behavior.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0886260520922373","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,22]],"date-time":"2020-05-22T01:51:27Z","timestamp":1590112287000},"page":"1049-1075","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":37,"title":["The Effect of Left-Behind Experience and Self-Esteem on Aggressive Behavior in Young Adults in China"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"37","author":[{"given":"Bang-Lin","family":"Yu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Anhui Medical University, Hefei, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Juan","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Anhui Medical University, Hefei, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wei","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Anhui Medical University, Hefei, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sheng-Hai","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Anhui Medical University, Hefei, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1026-4531","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xiu-Jing","family":"Cao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Anhui Medical University, Hefei, China"},{"name":"Douglas Mental Health University Institute, Montreal, Qu\u00e9bec, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0886260520922373","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1027\/0227-5910\/a000019"},{"key":"bibr2-0886260520922373","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1146\/annurev.psych.53.100901.135231"},{"key":"bibr3-0886260520922373","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.chiabu.2015.09.010"},{"key":"bibr4-0886260520922373","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4103\/2224-3151.255348"},{"key":"bibr5-0886260520922373","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/0033-295X.103.1.5"},{"key":"bibr6-0886260520922373","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/cbm.799"},{"key":"bibr7-0886260520922373","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.12677\/AP.2015.59068"},{"key":"bibr8-0886260520922373","volume-title":"Psychology around us","author":"Comer R.","year":"2011"},{"key":"bibr9-0886260520922373","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0954579407070034"},{"key":"bibr10-0886260520922373","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10802-005-9001-z"},{"key":"bibr11-0886260520922373","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.eurpsy.2016.07.008"},{"key":"bibr12-0886260520922373","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/cs\/17.2.83"},{"key":"bibr13-0886260520922373","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.0956-7976.2005.01535.x"},{"key":"bibr14-0886260520922373","first-page":"15","volume":"32","author":"Duan C.
