Sažetak
The research conducted included 602 participants, i.e. second- year high-school pupils from the Republic of Croatia. The hypothesis tested in the research was that physical and emotional abuse of children is more frequent at home than at school. The following modified instruments were used in the research: Questionnaire on stressful events at home and in school (for measuring physical abuse) and Questionnaire on childhood abuse (for measuring emotional abuse). The results show that physical abuse is statistically significantly more frequent at home than in school (F = 127, 1 ; p<0, 01). A statistically significant interaction between “place” of abuse and gender (F = 4, 301 ; p<0, 03) was also established. Girls are more frequently abused at home. Boys, compared to girls are more frequently abused at school. Emotional abuse is also statistically significantly more frequent at home than at school (F = 43, 179 ; p<0, 00), and an interaction between “place” of abuse and gender (F = 8, 385 ; p<0, 00) was also established. Girls are significantly more frequently emotionally abused at home. The results obtained can be explained by the fact that all types of abuse at school are legally prohibited and socially condemned, whereas under the excuse of “privacy and secrecy” abuse in the family remains unnoticed and rarely sanctioned.
