En este estudio se evaluó el perfil de los adolescentes que ejercen violencia física y verbal contra sus progenitores. Participaron 1427 adolescentes (728 chicas, 682 chicos) que contestaron numerosas medidas personales y ambientales. Los resultados mostraron que mientras que las agresiones verbales menos severas, como chillar a los progenitores, ocurren en el 65.8% de los casos, las agresiones físicas son mucho menos frecuentes (7.2%). La violencia contra los progenitores se asocia a exposición a la violencia familiar, baja disciplina ejercida por los progenitores, amigos con problemas de conducta, síntomas de depresión, conducta delincuente, consumo de drogas, impulsividad, creencias justificadoras de la violencia y de grandiosidad. Los chicos ejercen más la violencia física mientras que las chicas ejercen más actos de violencia verbal. Por último, las madres sufren más actos de violencia verbal que los padres.
