School - based violence on peer - rejected and peer-accepted adolecents: an analysis of its relationships with family and school variable. Psicol. teor. prat. [online]. 2010, vol.12, n.2, pp. 03-16. ISSN 1516-3687.

Research on school violence and peer acceptance (or rejection) is still inconclusive. However, it has been observed violent and rejected adolescents report problems in their family relationships and school. The present study aims to analyse the relationship between particular family variables, school variables, and school based violence, on the basis of rejected and popular adolescents. Participants were 1068 aged from 11 to 16 years old. Statistical analyses were carried out using structural equation modelling. Results showed family variables are differently related to school-based violence: family self-esteem exerts a direct effect on school-based violence among rejected, and an indirect effect on accepted adolescents, whereas father support are related to school self-esteem among accepted.

Keywords : School violence; Peer rejection; Peer acceptance; Parental support; School.
