Abstract

Aggression at school has a multifactorial genesis. One of the most important factors is the family environment. The purpose of this work is to analyze the relationship between the family environment and the aggressive behaviour of students of 7^th and 8^th classes (13-14 years) and to propose approaches to work with the families. The study included 822 students from the 7th and 8th classes of 11 schools in the city of Varna. A survey was carried out after a complex methodology. The results were processed through mathematical and statistical methods and a graphic analysis. There is a substantial difference in the aggressive behaviour of students, which is influenced by the relations in the family. The physical aggression is strongly influenced by the type of family relations, as moderate in a case of a united family turns into increased one when the relations are insupportable. Verbal aggression is also influenced by the relations in the family. This also applies to the aggressive irritability, jealousy and hatred, in total for the aggression and lie. Other acts of aggression, such as indirect aggression, oppositional behaviour, aggressive mistrust and guilt after the aggression are due to factors other than the relations within the family.
