Sažetak

The aim of this study was to establish whether we can use a qualitative analysis of data collected with the quantitative method to determine the reasons for violent behaviour among youth. The quantitative part of the research was conducted on a sample of N = 51 participants, first-grade students of Daruvar Grammar School. For the purposes of gathering quantitative data, we used the Aggression Questionnaire (Buss and Perry, 1992), and for the qualitative part, a semi-structured interview that was based on the Aggression Questionnaire. The qualitative part of the study was conducted on five participants with the minimum, and five participants with the maximum score on the Aggression Questionnaire. The method we used for qualitative data processing is called "Framework Analysis". The quantitative analysis provides an insight into the prominence of aggressive behaviour among youth, and the differences between the four dimensions of the Aggression Questionnaire. The qualitative data processing gives us a deeper insight into the differences between the participants with the minimum and the maximum score on the Aggression Questionnaire, and the differences among the participants at the individual level. There are differences that have been obtained by the quantitative method; nevertheless, the qualitative analysis shows that there are a number of characteristics shared by both groups of participants. It is shown that the two groups of respondents mainly differ in the expression of aggressive behaviour; however, their perceptions, emotions and cognition are quite similar.
