Behavior research revealed that attitudes are important in understanding the roots of violence. People acquire those attitudes by social learning, particularly in adolescence, because in this stage of life is the influence of social environment strongest. This study aimed to assess adolescents’ attitude toward violence and their related factors. The Questionnaire on Attitudes toward Diversity and Violence1 was applied. This questionnaire addresses the following factors: justification of violence toward peers as a reaction of courage, sexist beliefs and justification of domestic violence, and tolerant beliefs and rejection of violence. An extra factor was incorporated in the research to evaluate the attitude toward the justification of sexual violence. Analysis of the responses to the questionnaire disclosed middle level of justification and rejection toward violence. The stronger attitudes of justification of violence toward peers, domestic violence and sexual violence were related with male sex, alcohol consumption, violence among siblings and higher level of enjoyment of violence in media. The stronger tolerant beliefs and rejection of violence was related with female sex, the experience of sexual violence and the age group of 14-16 years old. Results clearly recommend the need to work with adolescents and their families to eliminate prejudices that justify violence and to promote violence rejection as preventive measures, considering the related factors. Keywords:  Attitudes, violence, adolescents, related factors, violence justification, violence rejection. RESUMEN Investigaciones sobre el comportamiento humano han demostrado que las actitudes son importantes para comprender las raices de la violencia. La mayoria de las actitudes se forman por aprendizaje social; esto es particularmente importante en la adolescencia pues el entorno social les influye mas que en cualquier otra etapa de la vida. De ello, el objetivo de este estudio fue medir las actitudes de los adolescentes hacia la violencia y sus factores relacionados. Se aplico el cuestionario de Actitudes hacia la Diversidad y la Violencia1, este contiene los siguientes factores: justificacion de la violencia entre iguales como reaccion y valentia, creencias sexistas y justificacion de la violencia domestica, y acuerdo con creencias tolerantes y de rechazo de la violencia. Se incorporo un factor para evaluar las actitudes que justifican la violencia sexual. Se encontro un nivel medio de justificacion, pero tambien de rechazo hacia los diversos tipos de violencia. Las actitudes mas fuertes de justificacion a la violencia entre companeros, violencia domestica y violencia sexual se relacionaron con: sexo masculino, consumo de alcohol en la familia, violencia entre hermanos y alto grado de disfrute de la violencia en los medios. Las actitudes mas fuertes de rechazo a la violencia estuvieron relacionadas con: sexo femenino, haber experimentado violencia sexual y tener entre 14-16 anos de edad. Esos resultados muestran la necesidad de trabajar con los adolescentes y sus familias para eliminar los prejuicios que justifican la violencia y promover la tolerancia y el rechazo a la violencia como medidas de prevencion, considerando sus factores relacionados. Palabras clave:  Actitudes, violencia, adolescentes, factores relacionados, justificacion a la violencia, rechazo a la violencia.
