Self-assessment and parental assessment of some risk and protective factors by primary school students

The more frequent the emergence of behavioral problems, the prevention strategies based on elaborated risk and protection factors are all the more necessary. The aim of the research is to analyze the relationship between selected protective and risk factors in a child. The study was conducted on a suitable sample of students (N = 271, 53.14% female, age M = 11.61, SD = 1.67) and their parents (N = 271 ; 88.56% Ž). The Questionnaire for students was used for self-assessment of risk and protection for behavioral problems, and a Scale Assessment of Student’s behavioral patterns in Interpersonal Conflict was used to examine the behavioral pattern in interpersonal conflict. The data were processed by descriptive statistics and nonparametric analysis of the relation between dimensions on linear composites. The results showed elevated values on the protective factors and low values on the risk factors, the positive correlation between the protective and positive correlation between risk factors and the negative correlation between the observed risk and protective factors. The authors suggest further research of the results that can serve as elements of planning preventive programs in elementary schools.
