Abstract

The aim of this study was to analyse the relationship between child-to-parent violence (CPV) (high, moderate and low), peer victimization (PV) (relational and overt, both physical and verbal) and cybervictimization (CV) (relational and overt), taking into account the role of sex. 1304 adolescents (53.14% girls) between the ages of 11 and 18 enrolled at secondary schools in the Autonomous Communities of Valencia, Aragón and Andalusia participated in the study. Adolescents with high CPV scores obtained higher scores for all types of PV and CV compared to the other CPV groups. Boys scored higher than girls in overt physical PV and in overt CV and girls obtained higher scores in relational PV. A statistically significant interaction effect was observed; boys with high CPV scores reported greater overt CV. The results suggest the importance of CPV in relation to specific forms of PV and CV and highlight the need to take into account the different processes of family socialization between boys and girls to reduce the likelihood of adolescents being victimized.

Summary

Introduction

Violent behaviour by adolescents, directed against both parents and peers, has increased considerably [1,2]. Some studies have reported commonalities between child-to-parent violence (CPV) and peer violence [3,4]. Several studies support the link between peer victimization (PV) and subsequent delinquency [5,6]. There are still few studies that analyse CPV in relation to suffering from cybervictimization (CV) and PV. This research aimed to study the relationship between PV, CV and CPV based on sex
