VILLARREAL-GONZALEZ, María Elena; SANCHEZ-SOSA, Juan Carlos; VEIGA, Feliciano H. e DEL MORAL ARROYO, Gonzalo. Development contexts, psychological distress, social self-esteem and school violence from a gender perspective in Mexican adolescents. Psychosocial Intervention [online]. 2011, vol.20, n.2, pp.171-181. ISSN 2173-4712. https://dx.doi.org/10.5093/in2011v20n2a5.
The aim of this study was to analyze the relationships between three development contexts -family, school and community-, and school violence, examining psychological distress and social selfesteem from a gender perspective in Mexican adolescents. To test these relationships, 1,285 Mexican students between 12 and 18 years of age in secondary (n = 634) and high school (n = 651) were recruited. To analyze these relationships, Structural Equation Modeling With EQS was used. Results showed that familial context is directly related to school violence, and that school and community context is indirectly related to school violence through social self-esteem and psychological distress. Finally, results and their possible implications regarding gender are discussed.
