Abstract
There are different grades and types of violence expressions amongst university students. The research is based an a previous diagnostic study where all the data showed the presence of an array of violence expressions inside the institution and draws attention to the importance and transcendence it bears for the institution community.
Several inquiries and research works on violence facts, were taken as a starting point, as it has been found an attachment and/or a correlation with the existing risk factors in the family, the social and the school settings of the students, that appear through the lack of adherence to the moral standards, and the failure to face adversity, aggression, and an inability to socialize. The ability to face adversity, to draw strength out of it and to learn throughout the experience is called resilience. Resilience is important for the development of key factors on individuals associated with specific ethical values, and that are prone to render advantageous answers towards the decrease of violence expressions, improvement of personal abilities and social adjustment.
To support the decrease of violence expression on the student population, this work, study presents, based on structured interviews applied to a random sample group of degree-level students, together with self-made questionnaires based on instruments tested on previous surveys with a positive outcome. These tools allowed an investigation on specific ethical values and student’s violence expressions, permitting an interpretation analysis using the SPSS analysis software to produce correlation charts.
In conclusion this study will determine to what extent the violence expressions profiles correlate and how much, with the specified ethical values and, at the same time, with the expression of resilience factors on the surveyed population.
Consequently, the proposition of a planned changing model based upon ethical values that promote the resilient attitude among students and diminishes the student’s violence on the institution.
Keywords: Violence, resilience, ethical values
