Abstract: To explore the relationship between social exclusion and malevolent creativity, and the role of coping styles and aggressiveness in it, we adopted the Social Exclusion Scale, Simple Coping Style Questionnaire, Buss-Perry Attack Scale(Chinese Version), and Malevolent Creativity Behavior Scale to investigate 863 college students from three universities located in Guangdong province. The results show that:(1) Social exclusion positively predicts malevolent creativity; (2) Negative coping style and aggressiveness play a significant chain role in social exclusion and malevolent creativity; (3) Positive coping style and aggressiveness have no significant chain mediating effect between social exclusion and malevolent creativity. The results of this study reveal the mechanism of social exclusion on college student’s malevolent creativity.

Key words: social exclusion, malevolent creativity, coping styles, aggressiveness, college students
