Principal Perceptions of Parental Aggression

Unger, Matthew C.

Abstract Details

2014, Doctor of Education (EdD), Ohio University, Educational Administration (Education).
This study of Ohio public, private, charter, and vocational school principals during the 2012-2013 school year explored existence or no existence of parental aggression towards school principals. The study researched predictors of aggression towards school principals and identified the frequency of their occurrence. The operationalized definition of parental aggression for this study was parental conduct that the school administrator perceives as threatening to their physical, psychological, or professional well-being. Through regression analysis and descriptive statistics, connections between acts of parental aggression and the demographics of the community, principal, and school were found. This study may serve as a platform to more deeply explore issues relating to aggressive parents, as well as, fill gaps in existing literature and provide insight into possible predictors of parental aggression.
