“…Numerous studies have found that boys are more physically aggressive [McDermott, 1996;Tiet et al, 2001] and have a higher rate of CDs [Robins, 1991] than girls. Findings with regard to oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), often a precursor to CD [Lahey et al, 1992;Loeber et al, 2000], are less consistent.…”

Using longitudinal data spanning early elementary through middle school, aggression behavior trajectory groups were identified for boys and girls. Early elementary school predictors of trajectory group membership were examined as well as whether trajectory group predicted physical aggression, covert delinquency, and substance use in 9th grade. Semiparametric group modeling identified aggression behavior trajectory groups. We identified four aggression trajectory groups for both genders described as “not involved,” “low,” “moderate,” and “high.” Attention problems, family conflict, and low school commitment and attachment were predictors of membership in higher aggression groups for both boys and girls. Low family involvement and low parental education predicted membership in higher aggression groups for boys; while depression, low‐income status, and having a single parent predicted higher aggression group membership for girls. For both boys and girls, few risk predictors distinguished between the moderate and high aggression trajectories except that low school commitment and having a teen mother were significant predictors of being in the high group for girls, and low parental education and income were significant predictors of being in the high group for boys. Membership in the higher aggression trajectory groups predicted involvement in violent behaviors, covert delinquency, and substance use in 9th grade. Findings suggest that children who display an early trajectory of high levels of aggressive behavior are more likely to continue involvement in later problem behaviors. Second‐grade predictors suggest commonality of risk across genders and provide evidence of modifiable targets for preventive interventions. Aggr. Behav. 32:1–15. 2006. © 2006 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

“…Gotovo sva istraživanja pokazala su kako stariji dječaci iskazuju više nasilnoga ponašanja (Olweus, 1998;Velki, 2012a). Dječaci su tjelesno i verbalno nasilniji (Espelage, Bosworth i Simon, 2000;McDermott, 1996), a novija istraživanja pokazuju da kada su u pitanju relacijski i indirektni oblici nasilja, dječaci su podjednako nasilni, ako ne i malo više nasilni, od djevojčica (Olwues, 2010). Dječaci su i češće žrtve svih oblika vršnjačkoga nasilja (Olweus, 1998(Olweus, , 2010.…”

“…Jedina razlika između ukupne i tjelesne vršnjačke viktimizacije javila se u prvom koraku regresijske analize, pri čemu se muški spol pokazao značajnim prediktorom tjelesne viktimizacije (iako u ostalim koracima i završnoj soluciji nije više bio značajan). Kako su dječaci češće uključeni u nasilno ponašanje (bilo kao žrtve ili nasilnici), posebice kada je u pitanju tjelesno vršnjačko nasilje koje se smatra djelomično normativnim ponašanjem dječa-ka, odnosno dijelom njihova odrastanja (Espelage i sur., 2000;McDermott, 1996;Olweus, 2010) dobiveni su rezultati očeki-vani.…”

Cilj je ovog istraživanja bio ispitati potencijalne vršnjačke i školske prediktore vršnjačkoga nasilnog ponašanja na hrvatskom uzorku djece osnovnoškolske dobi. Uz kontrolu spola, dobi i školskog uspjeha, cilj nam je bio provjeriti koji od odabranih vršnjačkih prediktora (broj prijatelja, socijalni status, prihvaćenost vršnjaka) i školskih prediktora (školska klima i sigurnost u školskom okruženju) predviđaju ukupno, verbalno i tjelesno vršnjačko nasilje te ukupnu, verbalnu i tjelesnu viktimizaciju. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 262 učenika od 5. do 8. razreda osnovne škole. Učenici su ispunili Upitnik o nasilju među školskom djecom, Upitnik školske klime te sociometrijski postupak. Rezultati pokazuju kako odabrani prediktori najbolje objašnjavaju tjelesno vršnjačko nasilje (31,9%) te verbalnu viktimizaciju (33%). Uz kontrolu individualnih varijabli, broj prijatelja, socijalni status i školska klima pokazali su se značajnim prediktorima vršnjačkoga nasilja, dok su se broj prijatelja, socijalni status, prihvaćenost i školska klima pokazali značajnim prediktorima vršnjačke viktimizacije. Istraživanje upućuje na jak utjecaj vršnjačkih i školskih varijabli u predviđanju vršnjačkoga nasilja i viktimizacije. Ipak, značajan udio varijance vršnjačkoga nasilja i viktimizacije ostao je neobjašnjen, pa je preporuka za buduća istraživanja da i neke druge varijable, npr. obitelj i medije, ispita kao potencijalne prediktore.Ključne riječi: vršnjačko nasilje, školski prediktori, vršnjački prediktori Tena Velki, Učiteljski fakultet, Odsjek za društvene znanosti,

“…For instance, studies using rating scales and structured diagnostic interviews have shown that females have fewer externalizing problems, including conduct disorder, delinquency, and aggression (Bauermeister, 1992;deHaas & Young, 1984;Erne, 1992;McDermott, 1996), present with less disruptive behavior in classroom settings (deHaas, 1986), are at a lower risk for comorbid conduct disorder and oppositional defiant disorder (Biederman, et aI, 2002), display significantly less gross motor activity (James & Taylor, 1990), and have significantly lower rates of hyperactivity, aggression, conduct problems, impulsivity, inattention, distractibility, and oppositional defiance as compared to boys (Barkley, 1989;Bauermeister, 1992;Befera and Barkley, 1985;Berry, et aI., 1985;deHaas, 1986;deHaas & Young, 1984;Gaub & Carlson, 1997b;Newcom, et aI., 2001). …”

“…Although some studies have found no differences on measures of externalizing problems with males and females (Berry, et al, 1985;Biederman, et al, 1999;Breen & Altepeter, 1990;Brown, Madan-Swain, & Baldwin, 1991;Castellanos, et al, 2000;Hom, Wagner, & Ialongo, 1989;James & Taylor, 1990;Kashani, Chapel, Ellis, & Shekim, 1979;Sharp, et al, 1999;Silverthorn, Frick, Kuper, & Ott, 1996), the majority indicate that boys display more externalizing behaviors, such as aggression, hyperactivity, and conduct problems, than girls (Arcia and Conners, 1998;Arnold, 1996;Barkley, 1998;Bauermeister, 1992;Befera & Barkley, 1985;Berry, et al, 1985;Biederman, Newcom, et al, 1991;Bird, et al, 1993;Carlson, Tamm, & Gaub, 1997;deHaas & Young, 1984;Erne, 1992;Gaub & Carlson, 1997b;Gershon, 2002;Hartung, et al, 2002;Heptinstall & Taylor, 1996;Hinshaw, 2002;Leadbeater, Kupermine, Blatt, & Hertzog, 1999;Lewinsohn, et aI., 1993;Lumley, et aI., 2002;McDermott, 1996;Newcom, et aI., 2001;Waschbusch, 2002;Zahn-Waxler, 1993). The current results support the bulk of the research and demonstrated that on all parent and teacher ratings of externalizing behaviors, males showed significantly higher scores than females.…”

This study examined the association between internalizing and externalizing symptoms, gender, and the diagnosis of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder.Participants included 104 males and 74 females, aged 6 to 16 from a diagnostic clinic.Parents and teachers completed the Attention Deficit Disorders Evaluation Scale, Second Edition (ADDES-2) to determine whether they met the criteria for AttentionDeficit/Hyperactivity Disorder and the Behavior Assessment System for Children (BAS C) in order to measure internalizing and externalizing symptoms. Regression analyses indicated partial support for association between inattentionand internalizing symptoms, with higher ratings of inattention found for both anxiety and depression as rated by parents and higher ratings of inattention for depression as rated by school. Although not predicted, a positive association was also found between home and school rated hyperactivity and depression. As hypothesized, higher ratings of IV hyperactivity in the home environment were predictive of all three externalizing behaviors as rated by parents, including measures of aggression, hyperactivity, and conduct problems, but only teacher ratings of hyperactivity. In addition, hyperactivity in the school environment was predictive of all teacher ratings of aggression, hyperactivity, and conduct problems and only aggression as rated by parents. All parent and teacher ratings of externalizing behaviors showed significantly higher scores for males. On measures of internalizing symptoms, no significant relationships were found with gender and parent and teacher ratings of inattention and hyperactivity, other than in the area of teacher ratings of somatization. These results have important implications in terms of identification, treatment, and long-term outcomes of affected individuals.v ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
