Abstract

Violence is one of the most common problems in societies now a days. Cases of adolescent violence are increasing in many countries, particularly Jordan. Violence has negative effects on adolescents which has become a major obstacle to the stability and progress of society. While exposure to media and family communication are one of the most important factors that contribute to the violence. Therefore, this study aims to learn more about the effect of media exposure and family communication on adolescent violent behaviour. Quantitative methodology is adopted to find out relationship among the variables, however, stratified random sampling is employed to get data from the respondents through questionnaire. Moreover, Smart PLS-SEM approach is used to examine the relationship among the variables. The findings revealed that there is a positive relationship between media exposure and violent behaviour, while a negative relationship found between family communication and violent behaviour. It is also found that media exposure and family communication are significant factors in promoting violent behaviour among adolescents. In addition, the paper discusses implications, limitations, and recommendations for future studies.
