Description
Summary:Nowadays, boys and girls in Spain show similar patterns of antisocial behaviour. Nevertheless, data indicates that differences in violent behaviour continue being important. Two hypotheses try to explain the difference: a) girls might be more exposed to certain factors of protection, or, b) factors´ protective effects are higher for girls. Using self-reports data, collected in 2004 among 649 teenagers from three Schools in Albacete (Spain), the current study examines these hypotheses. The self-report questionnaire includes items on antisocial behaviour and risk/protective factors adapted from the ISRD-I and from the California Healthy Kids Survey (2002). The results provide partial support for the differential exposition hypotheses but contradictory evidence regarding the differential protective effects. The implications of these findings for future investigations are discussed.
