Abstract: The main aim of this study was to develop a short questionnaire to assess children�s and adolescents� exposure to violence in several contexts (school, home, neighborhood and TV). The Exposure to Violence Questionnaire includes both witnessing violence and direct victimization and its items refer to physical and verbal aggression. Participants (1896 scholars, aged 8 to 17) filled in this questionnaire along with the Reactive Proactive aggression Questionnaire and the justification of violence scale. The confirmatory factor analysis supported the hierarchical structure proposed, in which the second order factors consisted of the context where the exposure takes place. The scales of the questionnaire showed good internal consistency. Furthermore, exposure to violence in every context was related to reactive and proactive aggressive behavior as well as to the justification of violence schema.
