The Social Ecology of Adolescent-Initiated Parent Abuse: A Review of the Literature
This article provides an ecological framework for understanding adolescent-initiated parent abuse. We review research on adolescent-initiated parent abuse, identifying sociodemographic characteristics of perpetrators and victims (e.g., gender, age, race/ethnicity, and socioeconomic status [SES]). Bronfenbrenner’s [
1
] ecological systems theory is applied, which examines the risk and protective factors for adolescent-initiated parent abuse within
micro
- (maltreatment, domestic violence, parenting behavior and disciplinary strategies),
meso
- (peer influence),
exo
- (media influence),
macro
- (gender role socialization), and
chrono
system (change in family structure) levels. Findings from our review suggest that older and White children are significantly more likely to abuse their parents. Females are selective in the target of their aggression, while males target family members in general. Mothers are significantly more likely to be abused than fathers. However, researchers also report variations in the association between SES and parent abuse. Domestic violence and child maltreatment are risk factors, while findings on parenting behavior and disciplinary strategies are mixed. Peer influence, exposure to media violence, gender role socialization, and change in family structure can potentially increase the risk of parent abuse. Practice and research implications are also discussed. An ecological systems framework allows for an examination of how various contexts interact and influence parent abuse behavior, and can provide needed directions for further research.

How can I deal with bullying? : a book about respect
\"What should you do if you see someone bullying another person at school? Is it better to just stay out of it?

But if you show respect for others, it gets easier. This book offers examples of several tough problems and shows what you might do in each situation. See how a little respect can go a long way!\"-- Provided by publisher.

An Investigation of Relational Risk and Promotive Factors Associated with Adolescent Female Aggression
Despite growing trends in adolescent female aggression, much adolescent aggression research has focused on males to the exclusion of their female counterparts. Using relational-cultural and social role theories, the current study identifies the risk and promotive factors associated with adolescent female aggression. Using data from the Rural Adaptation Project (a 5 year longitudinal panel study of youth from two rural, ethnically diverse, low income counties in North Carolina), a 2-level hierarchical linear model was estimated (N = 3580). Internalizing symptoms, association with delinquent friends, peer pressure, and parent–child conflict emerged as risk factors whereas teacher support was a significant promotive factor. Results suggest that interventions should focus on negative relationships in both the parent and peer domains and underscore the need for mental health services for aggressive girls.

Female Juvenile Violent Behavior: Bonding Systems and Other Mediating Constructs
The purpose of this research was to examine a conceptual/theoretical model with negative (substance use) and positive (extracurricular activities) mediating factors between several bonding systems and violent behavior among female youth. Since much of the prior researches have focused on both males and females therefore this study is focusing on females only. Data from the 2011 National Survey on Drug Use and Health was used for this study. For the purpose of this study female research participants between the age of 12–17 were selected (
N
= 9383). At the stage of bivariate analysis, parental bonding system was omitted from a model before moving onto a structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis as most of the correlations between indicators of parental bonding systems and dependent variables were not significant. Revised model with two bonding systems on violent behavior through two mediating constructs, extracurricular activities and substance use were tested through the SEM and Sobel test analyses. This structural model specifies a satisfactory fit with the sample. Several mediating effects within this model, which help lower the occurrence of violent behavior, were also validated.

Contextual Influences of Proactive and Reactive Subtypes of Aggression
The contextual factors associated with proactive and reactive subtypes of aggression have not been well-studied. In order to address this omission in the literature, the current study evaluated relations between perceived best friend delinquency, negative life events, and proactive and reactive aggression in a sample of 147 school-age children (M
age
= 8.22 years; 54.4% male). Multiple regression analyses suggested that negative life events were uniquely associated with reactive aggression and best friend delinquency was uniquely associated with proactive aggression. Findings and their implications are discussed.

A Comparative Study of Aggression and Peer Pressure among Juvenile Delinquents and Normal Adolescents
The study was conducted to examine the significant differences on measures of aggression and peer pressure among Juvenile Delinquents and normal adolescents. To fulfill the major objective of the study, a sample of 100 male participants (50= Normal Adolescents & 50= Juvenile Delinquents) with age range from 14 to 18 years was included in the study. All participants were administered Aggression Questionnaire (Buss & Warren, 2000) and Peer Pressure Scale (Rana & Saini, 2010) by applying the rules of respective manual. Descriptive statistics (Mean, SD, SK, KU) and t-test were used for statistical analysis. Descriptive statistics depicted the normalcy of data distribution except some minor discrepancies. t-test revealed that juvenile delinquents significantly scored higher on the four dimensions of aggression, i.e., physical aggression, anger, hostility, indifference and revealed no difference on the dimension of verbal aggression as compared to normal adolescents and Juvenile delinquents significantly scored higher on the variable of peer pressure in comparison to normal adolescents. Obtained findings depict subjects who scored high on aggression and peer pressure tends to be high on delinquency. Related review of literature also supports the findings of present study.
