Adverse childhood experiences and aggressive behavior of adolescents in residential educational programs in the Czech Republic
Original language description
Introduction: Adverse childhood experiences and aggressive behavior of adolescents placed in residential programs in the Czech Republic represent significant risk indicators in their current and future lives. The text presents selected partial findings of the research. Aim: The aim was to map and compare general trauma and specific traumatic events, the level of dissociative conditions, and aggressive behavior in vulnerable girls and boys placed in residential programs. Methods: The study cohort consisted of 204 adolescents aged 15–19 years. The primary data collection instruments were the A-DES, ETISRS-F, and Buss–Perry Aggression Scale questionnaires. Statistical descriptive analysis of the dataset was performed using different methods. Results: The findings showed extensive rates of traumatic experiences in early childhood among vulnerable adolescents. The findings confirm considerable vulnerability in both genders. However, girls experienced more traumatic experiences, particularly childhood sexual trauma and dissociative states. Conclusions: These indicators have implications for mental health, wellbeing, and the life path of these adolescents. The findings can be used for holistic approach to these adolescents.
