Abstract

The aim of this study was to examine the correlation between frequency of using media and the presence of violent contents in them, on the one hand, and agressive behaviour toward peers, on the other hand. The respondents were students of the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth grades of elementary school Jure Kaštelan from Zagreb. The sample consisted of 150 students (76 male and 74 female). The research was conducted in May 2017 using anonymous questionnaire as an instrument. The results showed that students who use media more often are more likely to manifest violence toward their peers. Boys and older students are more exposed to violence in the media than girls and younger students. They also have more positive attitudes about violence than girls and younger teenagers. Furthermore, there is a statistically signific ant correlation between exposure to the media violence and attitudes about violence. Students who are more exposed to violence in the media have more positive attitudes about violence in general. In the end, the results of this research suggest that exposure to violence in the media and positive attitudes about violence increase the risk of violent peer bahaviour in the real world. On the other hand, age and gender were not predictive for perpetration of peer violence.
