Abstract

The aim of the study was to predict cyber aggression based on rumination in students. The present study was a descriptive correlational study with applied objectives. The statistical population of this study included all students of Islamic Azad University, Arak Branch in the summer of 2024, who were selected through random sampling method, numbering 150, and responded online to the cyber aggression questionnaires of Alvarez Garcia et al. (2015) and the rumination questionnaire of Baghernejad et al. (2009). Pearson correlation coefficient analysis and regression analysis were used to analyze the data, which was performed using SPSS-26 statistical software. The results showed that there is a direct and significant relationship between cyber aggression and the variables of rumination (r-0.51), loneliness (r-0.25), helplessness (r-0.27), despair (r-0.27), and decreased social tolerance (r-0.21). The results of the regression analysis also showed that only the variables of rumination and loneliness significantly predict the variable of cyber aggression (p<0.05). According to the results obtained, it can be said that cyber aggression can be prevented by training and increasing psychological capabilities in individuals, as well as reducing rumination in individuals.
