The role of anger and depressive mood in transformation process from victimization to perpetration

The model yielded an appropriate fit including chi-square = 391.477 (df = 73, p <  0.001), CFI = 0.968, TLI = 0.954, RMSEA = 0.044 (0.040-0.048). Specifically, anger was reported to be mediated in the relations between victimization and perpetration. Depressive mood was mediated in the relations between victimization and perpetration, except for the relation arising from parental victimization. The implications of these findings related to the transformation process and future research direction are discussed.
