Abstract
The aim of this research is to define the differences between male (N=121) and female (N=121) pupils’ self-assessment of behaviour disorders. The pupils belonged to the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth forms of the Elementary School Vidikovac in Pula. The existence of differences between sexes is based on the assumption that different sexual roles like rebelliousness, nonconformism and disregard of norms are more typical for the male sexual role in our cultural environment, as well as in the school environment.
The results have shown that differences between male and female pupils exist when it comes to behaviour disorders. The above stated points point to the need for registering such indicators in the school environment and including this knowledge in the production of different preventive programmes and enabling different approaches to groups of male and female pupils.
