Item Restricted The contribution of parental conflict in the acquisition of aggressive behaviour among kindergarten children in the Al-Qassim region in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia from the teachers' perspective(Swansea University, 2024-04-11) Alyousef, Meral; Lowthian, EmilyResearch has shown that the home environment has a substantial impact on children's well-being. Previous studies have also shown that there is a strong relationship between parental conflict and behavioural adjustment difficulties, such as aggression. In Saudi culture, which places a strong emphasis on privacy, the nature of this relationship is still unknown. To get insights on the relationship between parental conflict and the behaviour of kindergarten children, the researcher conducted semi-structured interviews with kindergarten instructors. We examined their perspective on the occurrence of aggressive behaviour, the relationship between parental conflict and the aggressive behaviour of kindergarten children, and the methods used to alter children's behaviour. The findings suggest that marital conflict contributes to the emergence of exterior challenges in children, such as aggressive behaviour, as well as interior challenges such as anxiety, restlessness, and reduced social engagement. Teachers used a successful technique to alter the behaviour of youngsters, while the results indicated a decrease in families’ contributions to the process of modifying their children’s behaviour. This suggests that disputes and disagreements among parents are a strong predictor of the development of adjustment issues in kindergarten- aged children. Considering the findings of this study, formulating policies and regulations aimed at enhancing the home and school environment would promote the welfare of children.12 0Item Restricted The Relationship Between Childhood Trauma and Adult Aggressive Behaviour(2022) Alomayrini, Hamad; Yaneva, Mira; Dymond, HarrietRelationships connecting different kinds of childhood trauma with the aggressive behaviour in adulthood have been previously investigated. The majority of the studies have shown that childhood trauma could potentially lead to an adult aggressive behaviour in adulthood. This current study aims to investigate this hypothesis as well as to determine the potential factors in childhood trauma that could increase the adult aggressive behaviour. In that intention, an online survey was prepared using the "Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) Questionnaire" and "Buss Perry Aggression Questionnaire (BPAQ)" to assess the childhood trauma experiences and the aggressive behaviour aspects of 100 participants. In the data analysis, the ACEs and BPAQ scores were calculated for each individual, and then a statistical analysis was performed. The results have shown that the childhood trauma exposure was directly linked to an adult aggressive behaviour. In addition, the regression models showed significant positive correlations between the childhood trauma and all the types of the aggressive behaviour. In conclusion, and in view of the obtained results, in addition to previous literature, it is extremely important to increase awareness about this subject for all parents, guardians and caregivers, in order to prevent childhood trauma in the first place and therefore adult aggression.36 0
