Sažetak

The importance of the family and the parent-child relationship,
as the agents of socialization, has been proven by numerous studies.
While there is ample empirical evidence of parental infl uence on the development
of child physical and verbal aggressiveness, there is relatively little data
on the relations between family processes and child indirect aggressiveness.
This study aimed to assess the predictability of various dimensions of parental
behaviour in explaining various forms of child aggressiveness. The study was
conducted on a sample of 115 pupils attending fi fth to eighth grade of an elementary
school in Zagreb. The perception of parental behaviour was examined
through a questionnaire designed to assess parental behaviour (CRPBI-57),
the version of the questionnaire where children assess the behaviour of their
mother and father towards themselves. Aggressive behaviour was examined
via a scale for peer assessment and self-assessment of aggressiveness. For
further analyses, peer assessment of aggressiveness was used alongside the
self-assessment of direct and indirect aggressiveness. The results confi rmed a
signifi cant contribution of parental behaviour variables in explaining the variance
in child aggressiveness (self-assessment of aggressiveness). Along with
children’s age and gender, these variables explain 32% variance of direct aggressiveness,
and 24% of indirect aggressiveness. Independent additive contributions
of parental behaviour to criterion variances are 16% and 19.4% for
the measures of direct and indirect aggressiveness, respectively
