| Abstract: | School programs to prevent aggression vary; some emphasize skills training while others focus on social climate. The purpose
of this study was to investigate the relationship between life skills, classroom climate and self-reported levels of victimization.
The study, conducted in Israel, included 97 schools, 261 fifth and sixth classrooms, and close to 9,000 students. Results
of hierarchical regression showed a significant relation between lower levels of self-reported victimization and some of the
life skills and with two of the three classroom climate components: relationship, and personal growth; system maintenance
was not related to classroom aggression. Moreover, classroom climate was far more related to the level of victimization than
life skills. Several demographic variables (i.e., SES, gender) were also found to be related to levels of victimization.
The study was supported by a grant from the Israeli Ministry of Education. |
