An Exploratory (Field) Study of Parental Abuse in a Sample of Adolescents
in Light of Certain Variables
Abstract
This study aims to investigate the degree and level of parental abuse experienced by adolescents, as well as to explore the potential influence of variables related to parents’ social and educational background. The primary research question posed by the researcher is: What is the level of parental abuse from the perspective of adolescents? Employing a descriptive methodology, data were collected using a parental abuse scale designed by the researcher. The study was conducted on a sample of 1,130 students aged between 15 and 17 years, attending high schools in the First District of Tissemsilt. The results revealed that students experience a low-to-average level of parental abuse.
