Abstract

MARTINEZ FERRER, Belén; MUSITU OCHOA, Gonzalo; AMADOR MUNOZ, Luis V.  and  MONREAL GIMENO, María Carmen. Sociometric status and school violence on adolescents: implications of self-esteem, family and school. rev.latinoam.psicol. [online]. 2012, vol.44, n.2, pp.55-66. ISSN 0120-0534.

The general aim of the present study is to examine whether the link between the family and school contexts, as well as school violence is different among peer accepted and peer rejected adolescents. Participants were 1068 adolescents, ages ranged from 11 to 16 years old, from four schools in Valencian Community (Spain). Structural equation modeling was carried out using the EQS program and multigroup analysis between peer accepted and peer rejected adolescents were conducted. Results show that parental support is related to school violence through perception of school, family and school self-esteem. So, perception of school is positive related to school-based violence, whereas academic and family self-esteem are negatively related. It is also found some differences between peer rejected and accepted adolescents on the relationship between parental support and school violence. Family self-esteem is negatively associated with school-based violence only on rejected adolescents, whereas parents support is related to academic self-esteem only on accepted adolescents. Finally, results and its possible implications are discussed.
