Parental Attitudes Perceived by Adolescents, and Their Tendency for Violence and Affecting Factors

“…Moreover, adolescence is a period during which individuals can less tolerate frustration and have difficulty in keeping negative feelings under control. It has been reported that tendency for violence was more intense during this period and the number of adolescents who committed violence has increased day by day (Ayhan & Özkan, 2016; Gençoğlu et al, 2014; Haskan & Yıldırım, 2012). In this study, the mean score of the students from tendency for violence was determined to be 43.95 ± 11.07.…”

“…It was also detected that students who were studying at upper grades, whose age group was older in parallel to grade level, whose mothers were employed, whose fathers had less education than a primary graduate, whose incomes were less than their expenses, and who experienced domestic violence showed significantly more tendency for violence. In the literature, studies showed that violence trends of students are at a moderate level and that factors such as gender, parental education level and employment status, family income level, being the first child, number of siblings, and exposure to domestic violence affect students’ tendency to violence (Altın et al, 2017; Ayhan & Özkan, 2016; Gençoğlu et al, 2014). It is thought that sociocultural and demographic structure of society was effective in the emergence of tendency for violence.…”

“…In social learning theory, social behaviors such as aggression and violence are indicated as learned, in other words, acquired behaviors (Özgür et al, 2011). Therefore, children learn aggression and violence as a problem-solving behavior and practice in their own lives if they witness that problems are resolved by aggression and violence in the family environment (Ayhan & Özkan, 2016; Gençoğlu et al, 2014; Haskan & Yıldırım, 2012). In this study, it was determined that violence tendency of the students who experienced domestic violence was higher than students who did not experience domestic violence.…”

“…In the literature, violence-oriented adolescents did not have a healthy family function, and more problems were experienced within these families for the competencies involving problem solving, communication, role distributions, and emotional responses (Ayhan & Özkan, 2016; Kılıç, 2012). It was reported that adolescents showed violent behaviors as a result of witnessing domestic violence, low family support, and inadequate parental behaviors (Ayhan & Özkan, 2016; Gençoğlu, Kumcağız, & Ersanlı, 2014; Haskan & Yıldırım, 2012; Sousa et al, 2011). Therefore, witnessing or being exposed to domestic violence during their childhood period was the source of internalization of violence as a conflict resolution style (Ayhan & Özkan, 2016; Sousa et al, 2011).…”
