Abstract T his paper explores whether a relationship exists between self-regulation and violence among Saudi Arabian adolescent girls in private schools. The two major research questions that guide the research are the following: (1) Is there a significant relationship between self-regulation and violent attitudes and behavior among Saudi Arabia’s female adolescents in private schools? (2) Does that relationship vary as a function of the parents’ incomes? Based on these questions, the following alternative and their corollary null hypotheses are proposed for empirical testing: H1: There is a significant relationship between self-regulation and violent attitudes and behavior among Saudi Arabia’s female adolescents in private schools; H0: There is no significant relationship between self-regulation and violent attitudes and behavior among Saudi Arabia’s female adolescents in private schools; H2: The relationship varies significantly as a function of the parents’ incomes; H0: The relationship does not vary significantly as a function of the parents’ incomes. The data collected via a survey instrument were systematically analyzed to see whether they would yield findings that address the proposed questions and hypotheses, with the major objective being to help me make suggestions for how educators and parents can help ameliorate the problem. The substantive findings from the analysis led to partial acceptances of the hypotheses. | ||||
