| Abstract | ||
| The research aims mainly at studying the family climate with its dimensions represented in (family cohesion, sacrifice and family cooperation, identification of family roles and responsibilities, control and family life order, and satisfaction of the needs of family members, and the spiritual life of the family) and its relationship to domestic violence in its forms represented in (physical violence, verbal and psychological violence) directed at children. The research was conducted in the villages of Al-Ghouri and Mitt Rabi’a, Birkat Al-Seba’a and Menouf centers, Menoufia governorate. The total research sample reached 291 children in the age group (9-12) years from the families in the two researched villages, and they were selected in a systematic random manner with the information of the overall sample size using the simple fraction with a percentage of 20%, and their distribution to the villages in which the research was conducted according to the percentage of representation of each village in the research area. Frequencies, percentages, standard deviation, alpha coefficient, Pearson simple correlation, T and F tests, and ascending multi-linear regression were used in the data analysis. The most important results are summarized as follows: - The two-fifths of the surveyed children exceeded 40.9%, and their family climate is average. - Two-thirds of the children surveyed, 67.7%, the level of domestic violence directed at them is average. - The independent variables that contribute to a unique moral contribution to explaining the variation in degrees of domestic violence directed at the children surveyed are: family size, number of years of mother’s education, monthly family income, and family cohesion. - And the independent variables that contribute to a unique moral contribution to explaining the difference in the degrees of attitudes of the surveyed children towards violence are: the number of years of education of the mother, and the determination of family roles and responsibilities. | ||
