Rolul structurii familiei în geneza comportamentului agresiv la preadolescenți

Abstract

In this study we explored the impact of family structure on aggressive behavior at preadolescents. The research sample represent 219 preadolescents: N=61 from single-parent families and N=158 coming from complete families. Following the application of the t-test, the results revealed statistically significant differences against of respondents from single-parent families. Differences appear at the level of the Anger and Hostility subscales, as well as for the total aggression score. For the Anger variable, the difference is ΔM=-0.46 (single parent M=2.847; in the complete family M=2.378), significant for t(217)=-3.333, p=0.001. No statistically significant differences were observed at the level of physical or verbal aggression.
