Tiivistelmä
The objective of the paper was to study the link between socio-economic status and
violence in adolescent males and to then explain it using social dominance hierarchies.
The study was completed using Global School-based Health Surveys (GSHS). A total of
24,952 male adolescents attending school were included in the study. Violence was the
main outcome of interests and other variables included socio-economic status, age and
country. In the multivariate analysis, only socioeconomic status was significant [OR 1.62
(1.28, 2.05) p<0.001], while age was not. By country, violence ranged from 11.2% in
Swaziland to 40% in Mongolia. We concluded that violence is connected to socioeconomic
status and the phenomenon can be better understood using social dominance hierarchies
as a framework.
