- Abstract
- Results of a qualitative research on school violence carried out in Chile are presented. Particularly, this paper presents the results regarding to the determinants of change in school violence according to the perception of aggressive secondary students, that is, what favors that some students quit being an aggressor within the school context. The majority of these determinants identified by the students seem to correspond to findings of empirical research on the subject, and point out concrete dimensions which could show some pathways for intervention and prevention of school violence. It is about this last issue that the findings about the determinants of change are particularly relevant. Participants argue that stop being violent when they “mature”. The analysis shows that this process apparently “natural” and an outcome of development, is really a modification of the relationship with time, of the emergence of a personal future project, which depends on a modification of the perceptions of the array of peer relationships. This modification leads to a decrease of the need for recognition of the self image, which finally leads to the lost of legitimacy of violence and aggression as a resource.
