The purpose of this research was to examine the influence of middle school students’ rejection sensitivity and covert narcissism on their displaced aggression. It also investigated the mediating effect of social status insecurity in the relationship between rejection sensitivity, covert narcissism, and displaced aggression. In order to achieve this, a total of 458 middle school students completed a survey containing questions on their rejection sensitivity, covert narcissism, displaced aggression, and social status insecurity. Using SPSS 21.0, the data were analyzed with frequency analysis, Pearson’s correlation analysis, simple regression analysis, multiple re-gression analysis, and step wise regression analysis. The main findings of this research are as follows. First, the findings indicated that the middle school students’ rejection sensitivity, covert narcissism, displaced aggression, and social status insecurity appeared to have significant correlations. Second, this research examined the relative influence of rejection sensi-tivity, covert narcissism, and displaced aggression on the middle school students’ social status. As a result, explanatory power ap-peared in the order of implicit narcissism, rejection sensitivity, and position anxiety. Third, the research investigated the mediating effect of social status insecurity in relation to the effect of middle school students’ rejection sensitivity on their displaced aggression. As a result, social status insecurity appeared to play a mediating role to reinforce displaced aggression when the level of rejection sensitivity increases in accordance with its level. Finally, the research also investigated the mediating influence of social status in-security in relation to the effect of middle school students’ covert narcissism on their displaced aggression. The findings indicated that with the increase of covert narcissism, social status insecurity plays a mediating role in reinforcing displaced aggression.
