Sažetak
The results show that the usage of aggressive parental methods is still quite common although 65.4% of parents are aware that there exists a law that prohibits physical punishment of children. The prevalence of physical punishment is 53.5%, 66.9% and 71.1% for 11, 13 ad 16 years old children, respectively. Physical abuse has the prevalence rates of 25.3%, 34.4% and 41.1%. The prevalence rates for psychological aggression are 56.7%, 77.7% and 83.4% and for psychological abuse these rates are 22.0%, 25.8% and 34.1%. The results also show that 4.8%, 10.9% and 16.4% of 11, 13 and 16 years old children have experienced some form of sexual abuse, respectively. The results that are specific for the Croatian questionnaire (i.e. experiences of children with peer violence, attitudes of parents towards physical abuse, etc.) will also be presented, along with the correlation analysis on various risk factors and socio-demographic variables.
