Roles en bullying de adolescentes y preadolescentes, y su relación con el clima social y los estilos educativos parentales

Abstract

This study analyzes the relation among bullying, some family and school context variables, and parenting styles, and investigates the differences by role in bullying. The sample was composed by 847 pupils (450 male and 397 female) from 9 to 18 years old (M = 12.73; SD = 2.338), from Primary (426) and Secondary (421) schools, from 38 intact groups of 5 schools randomly selected from different Spanish Regions. Results show that those involved in bullying are more rejected, and victims are the most rejected and have lower relationships among pupils. Family context is positively scored. The authoritative parental style is the most frequent. Not involved pupils perceive an indulgent style more frequently than involved ones; bullies perceive more negligent and victims more authoritarian or authoritative. The unsteadiness on parental styles between both parents plus been rejected by peers is pointed out as victimization support.
