Abstract
The school, which should be a relatively safe place where students can learn and grow, is gradually becoming a place of violence and fear. This study examined the pattern of relationship between school climate, peer influence, parental socio-economic status, and school violence. This study employed a descriptive survey of correlational design, and a multistage sampling procedure was utilized. Adolescents (N= 286; 40.9% female, 59.1% male) aged 11 to 17 took part. Participants completed standardized instruments:(School Climate Scale α= 0.84; Peer Influence Scale α= 0.80; Parental Socio-economic Status Scale α= 0.88; and Violent Behavior rating Scale α= 0.91). The results showed that school climate (r= 0.246, p< 0.05); socio-economic status (r= 0.459, p< 0.05), and peer influence (r= 0.575, p< 0.05) all had a significant relationship with school violence. Also, peer influence recorded the most significant relative contribution to school violence, followed by school climate and parental socio-economic status, respectively. The study concluded that preventing school violence requires comprehensive and all-encompassing approaches, as addressing the problem with a single factor is unlikely to be sufficient.
