العنف الطلابي و علاقته ببعض المتغيرات : دراسة وصفية على عينة من طلبة الجامعة الأردنية

Abstract EN

This study aimed at identifying students' violence within universities (university of Jordan as an example) and its relationship with various factors such as: academic level, cumulative average, major, gender, parental income and cultural background.

A simple random sample of 1000 students present at a certain interval of time at the university was chosen for this study.

The sample consisted of males and females at different study levels studying different disciplines at the university.

Then, the research tool was applied on the sample by letting these students complete a specifically prepared questionnaire developed for the purpose of this study.

Variability and stability of the tool were verified.

Statistical analyses of mean, standard deviation and analysis of variance showed the presence of a relationship with statistical significance at an alpha level of 0.0001 between the participation in violent acts and each of the factors under consideration in these students.

It was found that the most common reasons behind students' participation in violence were fanaticism to relatives and friends; their feelings towards university regulations being unjust; their uncertain look to future and the feeling of rejection from the opposite sex.
