“…The prevalence rate of verbal aggression ranges from 40 to 89%. Most studies of violence focus on men and boys because a higher percentage of them tend to engage in violent behaviour than women [14]. Violence tendency in this study means to engage in one of the mentioned violent behaviours, with friends, family members, and strangers, with or without reason.…”

Risky behaviours are one of the major problems for adolescents. These behaviours are rooted in physical, sexual, mental, and social changes. This study aims at designing a puberty training program for Afghan female youths in Iran and assesses its effectiveness in reducing their tendency to high-risk behaviour. The aim of this study is in line with the fifth goal of Sustainable Development Goals which is "Gender equality". This study provides Afghan girls with easy access to information on puberty and its issues. Forty-three Afghan adolescent girls were selected through a random sampling method and organized into three intervention groups. The participants were given trainings on the physical symptoms of puberty, early/late puberty, genital anatomy, menstruation and hygiene, psychological changes symptoms, sexual relationships, sexually transmitted diseases, peer pressure, and addiction. The intervention consisted of seven sessions. Thirty-eight participants in the control group received no intervention. The Iranian adolescents' risk-taking scale was used to measure the dependent variable at baseline and completion of the program. The results showed that there were significant decreases in the tendency to smoke, substance abuse, alcohol consumption, and unprotected sexual relationships in the intervention groups (P < 0.01). However, the tendency to violence had no significant differences among the control nor in the intervention groups. This study provides evidence on the effectiveness of puberty training among Afghan adolescent girls with a tendency to engage in high-risk behaviours. Further research on the the immigrant adolescent's tendency towards violence are recommended. Longitudinal follow-ups are suggested to support the generalization of these kinds of interventions.

“…Finalmente, para dar cuenta de la relación entre el nivel de conductas externalizantes y el nivel de autoestima, se encontró que existe una relación inversamente proporcional entre la conducta externalizante y la autoestima en su dimensión conductual y social, lo que coincide con las investigaciones en las que se afirma que las personas con un alto nivel de dicho comportamiento tienden a presentar baja autoestima (Garaigordobil et al, 2013;Collins & Echezona, 2017;Estévez et al, 2018). Debido a que los estudios no son tan específicos, se sugiere mayor investigación sobre la relación entre dichas variables.…”

“…También se ha reportado que aquellos niños que eran tenidos en cuenta por sus padres presentaban altos niveles de autoestima (Martínez, Murgui, García & García, 2019) y mejor adaptación escolar (Xu et al, 2019). Por otra parte, se ha hallado que niños con alto nivel de conducta externalizante tienden a presentar baja autoestima (Collins & Echezona, 2017;Estévez, Jiménez & Moreno, 2018;Garaigordobil et al, 2013).…”

El objetivo de este estudio es identificar la relación entre las dinámicas familiares, las conductas externalizantes y la autoestima en 158 diadas de padres cuyos hijos tienen entre 8 y 12 años de edad, pertenecientes a dos colegios, uno público y uno privado, de la ciudad de Bogotá. El tipo de estudio es de carácter descriptivo-correlacional, cuantitativo y de diseño transversal. Se utilizó como medición el Cuestionario de Evaluación de Estilos Educativos de Padres (CEEP), la Lista de Chequeo de la Conducta Infantil (CBCL), formato de padres y la Escala de Autoconcepto de Piers-Harris. Se encontró que en el grupo de participantes del colegio público se presenta una correlación negativa entre el ocio compartido y la conducta externalizante, así como entre la conducta externalizante y la autoestima. Finalmente, se encontró que tanto en los participantes del colegio público como privado se presenta una correlación positiva entre los conflictos familiares y la conducta externalizante.

“…24 An association between gender and aggressive behavior has been shown in numerous earlier studies. 25,26 In fact, until the 1990s, it was generally believed that childhood aggressiveness was a male phenomenon. 27 Theories and studies were either produced based mostly on samples from males [28][29][30][31] or without considering gender.…”

Purpose This study aims to reveal the relationship between personality characteristics and verbal or physical aggression in Vietnamese adolescents. Patients and Methods We recruited 3003 participants [1498 boys (49.9%) and 1505 girls (50.1%); mean age ± SD = 13.50 ± 0.936] who we tested with the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire - Brief version (EPQ-BV), and Vietnamese Aggression Scale (VAS). A multivariate analysis of variance test, Pearson Correlation, and analyzing mediating variable interaction is used to analyze data. Results The findings suggested a significant interaction between personality traits, specifically extraversion and neuroticism, and physical aggression, verbal aggression, and anger. Students with higher levels of personality had higher levels of verbal aggression, and students with higher levels of physical aggression and anger had stronger personality traits than others and lower levels of physical aggression and anger. Personality traits, specifically extraversion, and neuroticism, differed significantly by gender and school years in adolescence. Mediation analysis revealed a positive and statistically significant indirect correlation between personality traits and physically aggressive behavior, with anger as a mediator. Similarly, a positive and statistically significant indirect correlation between personality traits and verbally aggressive behavior through anger was found. The relationship between personality traits and physical aggression was also significant via verbal aggression and anger. Conclusion This study improved our understanding of personality traits and verbal or physical aggression. Most crucially, physical and verbal aggression mediate personality traits and aggressive conduct. In secondary school, gender and school year affected extraversion and neuroticism. This discovery illuminates personality-based aggressiveness intervention.
