Reactive and spontaneus аggressiveness of the young

Abstract

Introduction/ The aim of the work. The aim of the research is to determine the degree of severity of reactive and spontaneous aggressiveness of the young. The specific objective of this study was to determine gender differences in the expression of reactive and spontaneous aggression of the young and the reactions of parents to their aggressiveness. Method. The research was done on a sample of 91 examinees, secondary school students of Gymnazium “Bora Stankovic” in Vranje, aged 16-18 years. The research consisted of 52 male (57%) and 39 female examinees (43%). Testing, which took 20 - 30 minutes, was performed by the school psychologist, in a regular class, with a standardized Practice Test. The degree of reactive and spontaneous aggression was measured by two scales of a standardized Freiburg personality test (FPI). This research was done in 2014. The processing of the data was carried out by using the SPSS program package, version 11.5. Results are shown by using methods of statistical description: frequency distribution, average score values, standard deviations and percentages. The significance of differences was shown using the t-test and Chi square tests. The limit of statistical significance is less than 5 % (p lt 0.05). Results. The data show that young men have more reactive, spontaneous, and overall aggressiveness, compared to girls. In the dimension of spontaneous aggression boys show significantly higher statistical values, compared to the girls (p lt 0.05). In response to the aggression of young people, their parents often use verbal aggression and apply prohibitions. It is important to note that 4-6 % of the parents don’t not respond at all to the aggressiveness of their children nor do they use corporal punishment. Conclusion. Obtained results point to the need for more prevention work with young people for increasing awareness and control of aggressive motives and awareness raising in terms of non-violent forms of behavior. It is important to increase the role of school in advisory work with parents whose children are expressing a high degree of aggressive behavior.

Uvod/Cilj rada. Cilj istraživanja je da se utvrdi stepen izraženosti reaktivne i spontane agresivnosti mladih. Poseban cilj istraživanja bio je da se utvrde polne razlike u izražavanju reaktivne i spontane agresivnosti mladih i načini reagovanja roditelja na njihovu agresivnost. Metod. Istraživanje je rađeno na uzorku od 91 ispitanika, učenika Gimnazije “Bora Stanković” u Vranju, starosti od 16-18 godina. Uzorak je sastavljen od 52 ispitanika muškog pola (57%) i 39 ispitanika ženskog pola (43%). Testiranje je obavio psiholog škole, na redovnom času, sa standarizovanim uputstvom za rad testa, u trajanju od 20-30 minuta. Stepen izraženosti reaktivne i spontane agresivnosti meren je dvema skalama iz standardizovanog Frajburškog testa ličnosti (FPI). Istraživanje je sprovedeno 2014. godine. Obrada podataka je urađena upotrebom programskog paketa SPSS u verziji 11,5. Rezultati su prikazani metodama statističke deskripcije: distribucijom frekvencije, srednje vrednsti, standardne devijacije i procentima. Značajnosti razlika su rađene t-testom i Hi kvadrat testom. Granica statističke značajnosti je manja od 5% (p lt 0,05). Rezultati. Dobijeni podaci ukazuju da mladići imaju veću reaktivnu, spontanu i ukupnu agresivnost, u odnosu na devojke. U dimenziji spontane agresivnosti mladići imaju statistički značajno veće vrednosti, u poređenju sa devojkama (p lt 0,05). Na agresivnost mladih roditelji najčešće reaguju verbalnom agresijom i zabranama. Značajno je da 4-6% roditelja uopšte ne reaguje na agresivnost svoje dece ili koristi fizičku kaznu. Zaključak. Dobijeni rezultati ukazuju na potrebu dodatnog preventivnog rada sa mladima u osvešćivanju i kontroli agresivnog motiva i razvijanje svesti o nenasilnim oblicima ponašanja. Značajno je povećati ulogu škole u savetodavnom radu sa roditeljima čija deca izražavaju visok stepen agresivnog ponašanja.
