Aggression and interpersonal violence (IV) against children and youth are issues in contemporary society. The current study reports on the youth athletes' perception of the aggression and IV prevalence and its manifestation forms in a Serbian context. The sample included athletes ( = 2091) between the age of 11 and 18 years. Data were collected through an ad-hoc questionnaire created by the authors. Respondents' answers to introductory questions about the frequency of IV indicated its absence (78.1%). However, the answers to the questions about specific forms of violent peer behavior indicated forms as well as the time and place where IV most often occurs. They underlined that IV takes place mainly after training or competition and during sports camps; and that the dressing room is the most favorable place for these behaviors. They also confirmed that the most prevalent subtypes of IV are psychological (roughly 40%) and physical (approximately 30%). The respondents' opinions and experiences about IV (psychological, physical, sexual) revealed that factors such as gender, location, and parents' education level may influence the IV manifestation. Highlighting the prevalence and the most frequently manifesting types of aggression and IV could help in awareness-raising of these social issues.
攻击行为和人际暴力（IV）针对儿童和青少年是当代社会的问题。本研究报告了青年运动员对塞尔维亚背景下攻击行为和 IV 流行程度及其表现形式的看法。样本包括年龄在 11 至 18 岁之间的运动员（n=2091）。通过作者创建的专门问卷收集数据。受访者对 IV 发生频率的介绍性问题的回答表明不存在 IV（78.1%）。然而，对特定形式的暴力同伴行为的回答表明了这些行为的形式以及 IV 最常发生的时间和地点。他们强调，IV 主要发生在训练或比赛之后以及体育营期间；而且更衣室是这些行为最有利的场所。他们还证实，IV 最常见的亚型是心理（约 40%）和身体（约 30%）。受访者对 IV（心理、身体、性）的看法和经验表明，性别、地点和父母教育水平等因素可能会影响 IV 的表现。强调攻击行为和 IV 的流行程度以及最常表现的类型，可以帮助提高对这些社会问题的认识。
