Parental views regarding violence in adolescence

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to examine parents' views and experiences regarding their adolescent children's violent and aggressive behaviours within the framework of the Non-Violent Resistance approach in Turkish culture.The study group consisted of 40 volunteer married parents (35 females, 5 males) between the ages of 30 and 56 who resided in Central Anatolia. We conducted a descriptive study using a phenomenological design. A thematic analysis method was used in the analysis of the data. Within the framework of the results, we describe parents' experiences of their children's violence, their responses to such behaviour and their accounts of parental conflicts and presence.

Their findings suggest that NVR can be a helpful approach in Turkey and advocate for culture‐sensitive practices of non‐violent resistance to support parents.…”
