Abstract

JIMENEZ GUTIERREZ, Teresa I.  and  LEHALLE, Henri. The school violence between peers in popular and rejected students. Psychosocial Intervention [online]. 2012, vol.21, n.1, pp.77-89. ISSN 2173-4712.  https://dx.doi.org/10.5093/in2012v21n1a5.

Psychosocial models of adolescent development have pointed to the importance of considering the interrelationship between relevant contexts (family, school and community) in understanding psychosocial adjustment. However, few studies have examined the combined influence of these contexts in the development of specific behavioral problems such as violent behavior in schools. The present study aims to explore the links between the perception of the family, school and community climate on school violence considering the role of subjective well-being and adolescent distress. To test these multiple relationships a sample of 1795 adolescents of both sexes aged between 11 and 18 has been used. Data were analyzed using a structural equation model, including a multi-group analysis for popular and rejected students in the classroom. The results support the expected relationships and the resulting model is equivalent for both sociometric status. The discussion considers the implications of these findings for intervention with adolescents from an individual and contextual perspective.

Keywords : distress; perceived climate; school violence; sociometric status; subjective well-being.
