Abstract

The aim of present study was to investigate the Importance of Peer Attachment and Anxiety for Latency Stage in Aggressiveness Model with Its Developmental Origins in Family Efficiency. This correlation study was done on 330 male and female students in grades four and five in Birjand city during 2014, Sampling was done through multi-stage sampling method and data collection tools included Young Parenting Inventory, Latency Attachment Style, Cattel Anxiety, and AGQ Aggressiveness. Data was analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling. The results of fitted model showed that developmental origins path of Impaired autonomy and performance (rigid enmeshed family) had a direct and indirect positive role in prediction of anxiety through ambivalence attachment to peers. Moreover, it could predict aggressiveness through anxiety. In addition, the model showed that developmental origins path of emotion derivation and Impaired limits (chaotic disengaged family) had an indirect positive role in prediction of anxiety through increasing avoidance attachment and an indirect positive role in prediction of aggressiveness through increasing anxiety. Therefore, the model showed that families with rigid enmeshed developmental origins had stronger role in prediction of aggressiveness. As a result, given the prediction of aggressiveness through developmental origins, attachment for Latency Stage, and anxiety, it is possible to prevent the increase of aggressiveness and its unfavorable outcomes by controlling underlying factors in earlier ages.
