Abstract: This present study aimed to explore the mechanism of perceived chronic social adversity on college students’ aggression, by surveying 577 college students with Perceived Chronic Social Adversity Questionnaire(PCSAQ), Chinese College Students’ Version of Buss- Perry Aggression Questionnaire(BPAQ-CCSV), Ruminative Responses Scale(RRS) and Perceived Social Support Scale(PSSS). The results showed that: (1) Perceived chronic social adversity had a significantly direct effect on aggression and ruminative responses played a partial mediating role between them; (2) Perceived social support moderated the relation between perceived chronic social adversity and ruminative responses of college students, that is, there was a significantly positive relation between perceived chronic social adversity and ruminative responses under the low perceived social support level, however, there was a non-significant relation between perceived chronic social adversity and ruminative responses under the high perceived social support level.

Key words: college students, perceived chronic social adversity, aggression, ruminative responses, perceived social support
