Sažetak
This paper had two aims. The first aim was to examine whether there is a direct contribution of some family contextual factors (parents' education, perceived family financial situation, parental frequency of drinking, and family size) to the risky and delinquent child behavior. The second aim of the paper was to determine whether there is an indirect contribution of these family contextual factors through parental rearing practices (emotional warmth, rejection, overprotection). The study was conducted on a representative sample of 887 elementary school students (463 boys and 418 girls; six students did not specify gender), aged between 13 and 14 years. Participants completed the following questionnaires: Self-report scale of risky and antisocial behavior, Memories of Childhood (EMBU), as well as a sociodemographic questionnaire assessing parents’ education level, perceived family financial situation, parental frequency of drinking and family size. The data were analyzed by a series of multiple regression analyses. The results showed that, out of four family contextual factors, only parents' education and parental frequency of drinking showed a direct contribution to risky and delinquent child behavior. In addition, the results showed that, out of the three parental rearing practices (emotional warmth, rejection and overprotection), only perceived parental rejection had mediational effect on
