koliko se i sami pridružuju napadu, te utvrditi stupanj socijalne podrške
među školskom djecom. Ovo istraživanje obuhvatilo je 120 djece Osnovne
škole »Ostrog« u Kaštelima.
Rezultati pokazuju da djeca promatrači više podrške iskazuju prema
nasilniku nego prema žrtvi. Važno je rano uočiti nasilne oblike ponašanja
te se pravilno i senzibilno odnositi prema njima; od velike je važnosti prepoznati
i zaustaviti nasilje vršnjaka. To podrazumijeva pružanje pomoći
djeci koja trpe nasilje i djeci koja ga čine, ali i djeci koja su promatrači,
svjedoci nasilja.
CHILDREN OBSERVERS IN THE CIRCLE OF VIOLENCE
AND SOCIAL SUPPORT
We are faced with increasingly wide-spread anti-social behaviour and
frequent assaults by underage perpetrators. Not only the perpetrator and the
victim are affected by it, but also the children that have observed violence.
They experience empathy with the victim but also can participate in violence
by cheering, approving, getting involved. “Observers” are the third
peer group that participates in the act of violence indirectly. They might
help out and encourage the person who initiates violence. Driven by fear,
they even join the perpetrators, to protect themselves, at the same time
sympathizing with the victim. On the basis of the above outlined issues, the
aim of this research is to establish in which way the children observers of
violence are getting involved with violence and the extent of social support
amongst school children. The research was conducted on 120 children in
Primary school “Ostrog” in Kaštela.
Results are showing that the children who observe violence express
more support to the perpetrator than to the victim. It is important to recognize
the violent behaviours and treat them sensibly, as well as to stop
peer violence. This includes activities aimed not only at children that are
victims of violence and the perpetrators, but also to those children who are
observers and witnesses of violence.
