School violence is a social issue of particular interest both for intervention and research. Attitudes towards violence have been reported in the literature as relevant variables for evaluation, prevention, and intervention in this field. This study aims to examine in-depth attitudes toward school violence. The sample consists of 96 participants from Spanish Elementary Education and Compulsory Secondary Education schools. A qualitative study was conducted through focus groups and thematic analysis of the data. The results identify a habitual set of attitudes towards violence in children. These are related to violence as a way to feel better or increase self-esteem, as leisure or fun, perceived as legitimate, when violence is exercised against those who are different, when it has no consequences, to resolve conflicts, to socialize, and to attract the attention of peers. These results could serve as a basis for the creation of evaluation tools, as well as the design of prevention and intervention plans based on attitude modification.
校园暴力是一个特别引人关注的社会问题,无论是干预还是研究都对其十分重视。在这一领域,文献中曾报道过,对暴力的态度是评估、预防和干预的相关变量。本研究旨在深入探讨对校园暴力的态度。样本由来自西班牙小学和中学的 96 名参与者组成。通过焦点小组和对数据的主题分析进行了定性研究。研究结果确定了儿童对暴力的一套习惯性态度。这些态度与将暴力作为一种自我感觉良好或提高自尊心的方式有关,被视为休闲或娱乐方式,当针对不同的人行使暴力时,被视为合法的,当没有后果时,被视为解决冲突、社交和吸引同伴注意力的方式。这些结果可以为评估工具的创建以及基于态度改变的预防和干预计划的设计提供依据。
