The aim of this paper is to examine aggressive behaviors among Romanian high school students between 15 and 16 years old, to compare data in two national representative samples and to identify factors associated with physical fighting. This study investigates the association of selected factors (social, school performance and substance use) with physical fighting. A total of 2289 Romanian students were included in the 2007 database and 2770 in the 2011 database. This study revealed that 35.87% of the teenagers have taken part in a physical fight during the previous 12 months, as compared with the European average of 31.5%. Romania has the highest prevalence of violent behavior by participating in a group bruising of an individual in both surveys, 2007 and 2011. A logistic regression analysis performed for the 2011 study revealed the following factors associated with physical fighting: binge drinking during the previous 30 days, male gender, serious problems with friends, parent(s) who do not know where and with whom the adolescents spend their evenings, poor parental caring, low school grades, and high truancy. A decrease in almost all aggressive behaviors was noticed in 2011, compared to 2007. These findings may be useful to support and guide policy makers regarding improvement and implementation of strategies to further prevent aggressive behaviors in teenagers.
本文旨在研究罗马尼亚 15 至 16 岁高中生的攻击行为，比较两个全国代表性样本中的数据，并确定与身体打架相关的因素。本研究调查了选定因素（社会、学业表现和物质使用）与身体打架的关联。共有 2289 名罗马尼亚学生被纳入 2007 年数据库，2770 名学生被纳入 2011 年数据库。研究显示，35.87%的青少年在过去 12 个月内参与过身体打架，高于欧洲平均水平 31.5%。罗马尼亚在参与群体殴打个人方面的暴力行为发生率最高，在 2007 年和 2011 年的调查中均如此。对 2011 年研究进行的逻辑回归分析显示，与身体打架相关的因素包括：过去 30 天内狂饮、男性、与朋友有严重问题、父母不知道青少年晚上在哪里和与谁在一起、父母关爱不足、学业成绩差、逃学率高。与 2007 年相比，2011 年几乎所有攻击行为都有所减少。这些发现可能有助于支持和指导政策制定者，以改善和实施进一步预防青少年攻击行为的策略。
