Implications of Family Disintegration on Aggressive Behavior among Children

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the impact of family disintegration on children’s aggressive behavior from the perspective of family protection centers in the Hebron Governorate. The research focused on understanding how factors such as divorce, parental separation, and ongoing family conflict influence children’s emotional and behavioral outcomes. Additionally, the study explored the perceived role of family protection centers and demographic variables in mitigating these effects. A descriptive-analytical approach was employed, with a sample consisting of employees from family protection centers in Hebron. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire comprising 25 items covering three domains: family disintegration, aggressive behavior among children, and the role of family protection centers and demographic factors. Statistical analyses, including mean, standard deviation, t-tests, and one-way ANOVA, were conducted to test the study hypotheses. The results indicated that family disintegration has a moderate impact on children’s aggressive behavior. No statistically significant differences were observed across gender, place of residence, or scientific qualification, suggesting that these demographic factors do not strongly influence respondents’ perceptions. The study also highlighted the importance of family protection centers in providing guidance, intervention, and support to children affected by family breakdown. Based on these findings, the study recommends enhancing family support programs, offering early interventions for at-risk children, and providing specialized training for family protection staff. The study contributes context-specific insights to the Palestinian setting and offers practical implications for policy development and child protection initiatives.
