العنف الطلابي في الجامعات الأردنية : العوامل و الحلول

Abstract EN

This study aims at indentifying causes of the student violence as perceived by university students in public and private universities.

Data for this study were collected from a random sample of 572 undergraduate students through a questionnaire in the academic year 2011 / 2012.

Findings of the study revealed that the most common causes of student violence in campus were : - Students’ enrollment in the universities with low grades in high school.

- Poor investing of free time and lack of extra-curricular activities.

- High competition among students during election time.

- The feelings of students toward university rules and regulations as being unjust.

- Fanaticism towards tribe, relatives and friends.

- The weakness of moral and religious motive among university students.

Finally, proposed solutions to reduce violence include launching awareness campaigns among students concerning the negative aspects of student violence.
