Peer group integration is a crucial acculturative goal for immigrant adolescents who, in order to reach this goal, may use bullying and/or aggressive behavior. The present study aims to explore the underlying aggression motives by investigating the importance of three motives (anger, power, and affiliation) for five different forms of aggressive behavior (bullying, cyberbullying, physical, verbal, and relational aggression) in three groups of adolescents (non-immigrants, first-generation and second-generation immigrants) in Cyprus. The sample consists of 507 non-immigrant Greek Cypriots, 149 first-generation and 93 second-generation immigrants (age M = 16.1, SD = 0.39; range 15–19; 52% female). Data was collected via validated self-report scales. In line with our hypotheses, latent means and covariances structure (MACS) models revealed that the affiliation motive was a stronger predictor for all five forms of aggressive behavior among first-generation immigrant adolescents indicating that the need to belong is especially important for their acculturation. The practical importance of these findings for better integrating newcomer immigrants in schools and aggression prevention are discussed.

需要归属感是塞浦路斯移民青少年（网络）欺凌和攻击行为的动机

同伴群体融合是移民青少年的重要文化目标，为了达到这一目标，他们可能会使用欺凌和/或攻击性行为。本研究旨在通过调查三种动机（愤怒、权力和归属感）对三组青少年的五种不同形式的攻击行为（欺凌、网络欺凌、身体、言语和关系攻击）的重要性来探索潜在的攻击动机。 （非移民、第一代和第二代移民）在塞浦路斯。样本包括 507 名非移民希族塞人、149 名第一代和 93 名第二代移民（年龄M = 16.1，SD= 0.39; 范围 15-19；52% 女性）。通过经过验证的自我报告量表收集数据。与我们的假设一致，潜在均值和协方差结构 (MACS) 模型显示，从属动机是第一代移民青少年所有五种攻击行为形式的更强预测因子，表明归属需要对他们的文化适应尤为重要。讨论了这些发现对于更好地将新移民融入学校和预防侵略的实际重要性。
