ABSTRACT

Middle school is an important stage for the cultivation of moral character. Scholars at home and abroad have done more and more research on morality at this stage, hoping to find specific measures to promote the moral development of middle school students and cultivate their good moral character. In recent years, moral vicious events caused by online games among middle school students occur frequently. At present, some studies have found that online games have an impact on the moral development of middle school students, but there are few studies on the role of interpersonal communication ability between them. Under this background, this study mainly investigates the current situation of middle school students' online game use, interpersonal communication ability and moral sensitivity, and analyzes the relationship between middle school students' exposure to online game violence and moral sensitivity. And to explore whether interpersonal communication ability can play a moderating role between them.
