Abstract

This research study analyzes the differences, based on gender, of adolescents in a sample of 1st and 2nd year of Compulsory Secondary Education (ESO). Two types of violence are compared: reactive and instrumental violence (RV-IV). The main objective was to determine the influence of gender bias in tolerance of such violent behavior, according to the gender of the person assaulted. The research sample evaluated consisted of 771 students in 1st-2nd year of ESO from 5 state secondary schools in the Community of Madrid (CAM). The work carried out focused mainly on quantitative analysis on data from the questionnaire “Reactive and Instrumental Violence and its Relationship with the Self-control in Adolescents”. The results show the need to overcome stereotypes and gender biases in school violence, to increase the effectiveness of prevention and response to violence, as well as to improve daily classroom climate.
