Family Dysfunction Mediates and Moderates the Relationship between Depression and Aggression

This data set accompanies the research article, Chukwuemeka, N. A., & Obioha, C. W. (2022). Family Dysfunction Mediates and Moderates the Relationship between Depression and Aggression. The data was conveniently collected from undergraduate students of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, who voluntarily gave their consent to participate in the data. The objective of this data was to establish empirical evidence for the link between family dysfunction and aggression, depression and aggression, whether the association between depression and aggression is mediated by family dysfunction, and how family dysfunction could moderate this link.
The data set titled 'Family Dysfunction, Depression and Aggression' contains the total scores of all the participants on the following scales: Family Assessment Device (FAD), The Centre for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D), and Aggression Scale. The above scales are credited to Epstein et al. (1983), Radloff (1977), and Orpinas and Frankwoski (2001), respectively. In addition, the data set also includes demographic information of the participants, such as gender and age, which were used as control variables in the study.
