Abstract
Our study found that the prevalence of harmful adolescent peer aggression varied between 12 locations. These differences were partly associated with Hofstede’s cultural dimensions, although there was no apparent association of harmful adolescent peer aggression with the cultural dimensions of individualism-collectivism and indulgence versus restraint. Uncertainty avoidance showed the strongest relationship with harmful adolescent peer aggression, but only in locations where scores on this cultural dimension were above a threshold of 60. Overall, our findings suggest that Hofstede’s cultural dimensions could be adult-centric and not very useful for explaining harmful adolescent peer aggression in different countries.
