Abstract: As for violent behaviors, previous researches mostly focused on actual violent behaviors. With the development of social networks, more and more attention has been paid to verbal attacks on the Internet. According to the frustration-aggression hypothesis, we believed that in addition to the "outward verbal violence" in the popular sense, there is also "inward verbal violence". This study aimed to explore the relationship between life satisfaction and verbal attack in different orientations by text analysis based on big data of Weibo. Results showed that the “inward verbal violence” was negatively related to life satisfaction (r = -0.167, p <0.001), and the correlation coefficient between “outward verbal violence” and life satisfaction was 0.031, however which was not significant (p = 0.089). Lower “inward verbal violence” and higher “outward verbal violence” can significantly predict life satisfaction. "
