Therefore, to identify whether there is significant distinction and relation among the variables or not the data were analyzed by nonparametric tests (Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis). It was determined that children were exposed to and witnessed all forms of violence in football youth setups. It was found that among children who reported being exposed to violence, children seeking a solution to this situation have more anxious-ambivalent attachment style than those who ignored the situation. It was determined that the children who stated that they would not share their violence experiences with someone in an environment where they felt comfortable have more avoidant attachment style than the children who could share. It was found that children who stated that they had witnessed violence have more anxious-hesitant attachment style than those who did not witness.
