| Abstract
|
:
|
The statistics showed that violent incidents in schools increased by 400% between 2010 and 2016 (Saudi Education Department, 2016). This shocking statistic is especially alarming, considering the school as a place where children develop and learn. Unhealthy schools’ environments can create a struggle in that child’s life, not only in the short term, but also over the long term. Several studies have shown that the parent-child relationship is a powerful predictor of the child’s future, especially regarding interaction with peers (Moss & St-Laurent, 2001). This study seeks to understand the underlying causes of school violence by examining the relationship between parental attachment and school violence and exploring potential moderators of child self-regulation, including emotional, cognitive, and behavioral regulation. Participants were 225 of Saudi boys and girls aged 10 to 15 attending regular schools (public and private) in Saudi Arabia, who answered the Parenting Attachment Scale, Self-regulation Scale, and School Violence Scale. The results showed there was a positive correlation relationship between parental attachments and how children deal with school violence. The findings highlight a unique dynamic between child-parent attachment and children’s abilities to regulate themselves emotionally and behaviorally regarding school violence. Furthermore, household income, parents’ educational levels, and the type of school have a significant impact on school violence. The study recommended that school counselors, social workers, and policymakers develop evidence-based health programs and strategies to enhance parental attachment and child self-regulation, to reduce school violence. Also, therapists could utilize the findings from the study to guide them in developing therapeutic curricula for children’s individual and group therapy to help them deal with school violence. Moreover, parents, school counselors, and teachers have to work as one team and collaborate to provide healthy environments at home and school, where children can learn and grow safely.
