To explore the association of family-related adversities with physical fighting, and whether this association is mediated by hopelessness. The sample consisted of 3712 Slovak adolescents (mean age: 13.9, 50.7% girls). Participants answered questions regarding experienced family-related adversities, involvement in physical fighting in the last 12 months and the Hopelessness Questionnaire. First, the association of family adversities in general with fighting and of each of family-related adversity separately was assessed using linear regression models and second, mediation was assessed using the a*b product method with bootstrapped 95% confidence intervals Adolescents who had experienced at least one family adversity reported more frequent fighting. Similarly, each of reported family adversities (death of a parent, substance abuse problems of a parent, conflicts/physical fights, divorce) was associated with more frequent fighting among adolescents. The mediation effect of hopelessness was found in each association of family-related adversity with fighting. These findings suggest that interventions to support adolescents who had experienced family adversities could among other things be directed at better coping with hopelessness.
探讨与家庭相关的逆境与身体打斗之间的关联，以及这种关联是否受绝望感的影响。 样本包括 3712 名斯洛伐克青少年（平均年龄：13.9 岁，50.7%为女孩）。参与者回答了有关经历过的家庭相关逆境、过去 12 个月参与身体打斗以及无望感问卷的问题。首先，使用线性回归模型评估了一般家庭逆境与打斗以及每个家庭相关逆境与打斗之间的关联，其次，使用 a*b 乘积法和 bootstrap 95%置信区间评估了中介效应。 经历过至少一种家庭逆境的青少年报告的打斗更频繁。同样，报告的每种家庭逆境（父母一方死亡、父母一方滥用药物、冲突/身体打斗、离婚）都与青少年更频繁的打斗有关。在与打斗有关的每种家庭相关逆境的关联中，都发现了绝望感的中介作用。 这些发现表明，针对经历过家庭逆境的青少年的干预措施可以包括更好地应对绝望感等方面。
