Popis: Cilj istraživanja bio je provjeriti mogu li prediktori tradicionalnoga vršnjačkog nasilja konzistentno dobiveni u prijašnjim istraživanjima dobro predviđati i elektroničko vršnjačko nasilje. Provjeravana je prediktivnost individualnih (dob, spol, školski uspjeh), obiteljskih (roditeljsko kažnjavanje, toplina, nadzor i popustljivost) i vršnjačkih varijabli (broj prijatelja, vršnjačka prihvaćenost, prethodna viktimizacija). U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 880 učenika od petog do osmog razreda osječkih osnovnih škola. Individualne i vršnjačke varijable mjerene su Upitnikom o nasilju među školskom djecom (UNŠD), roditeljsko ponašanje Upitnikom roditeljskoga ponašanja (URP-29). Odabrane varijable objašnjavaju oko 30% ukupne varijance tradicionalnoga nasilja i 10% ukupne varijance elektroničkoga nasilja. Sve pretpostavljene varijable pokazale su se značajnim prediktorima tradicionalnoga vršnjačkog nasilja, ali ne i elektroničkoga. Budući da ispitani prediktori tradicionalnoga vršnjačkog nasilja samo djelomično objašnjavaju elektroničko, treba istražiti i druge moguće prediktore, poput učestalosti upotrebe medija, elektroničke viktimizacije i sl.
The main aim of the study is to test whether the predictors of traditional peer violence consistently obtained in previous studies may also be good at predicting electronic peer violence. The predictability of individual (age, gender, school success), family (parental punishment, warmth, monitoring and permissiveness) and peer variables (number of friends, peer acceptance, previous victimization) were examined. The study included 880 students of fifth to eighth grade. Individual and peer variables were measured with a Questionnaire on violence among school children (UNSD) and parental variables with the Parental behavior questionnaire (URP-29). The results obtained by hierarchical regression analysis showed that the selected variables explain about 30% of the total variance of traditional violence and about 10% of the total variance of electronic violence. All the assumed variables proved to be significant predictors of traditional violence, while electronic violence had a smaller number of significant individual and family predictors. We can conclude that the current predictors of traditional violence only partially explain electronic violence, so we need to include some additional variables in order to better predict electronic peer violence (e.g., frequency of use of media, electronic victimization, etc.).
