Abstract

We explore the relation between gender stereotyping in traits and roles and bullying. The sample is comprised by 1835 students (993 boys and 842 girls) from the 4th to 6th grade of Primary school from Castilla-La Mancha (Spain). In order to measure gender roles we have used Sex Role Scale for Children, whilst gender stereotypes have been measured with Childrens Personal Attributes Questionnaire. The levels of school aggression have been assessed through Instrument to assess the incidence of involvement in bully/victim interactions at school. The evolution of gender role has a higher significance at work-related than in family roles. In the study of gender traits boys and girls show traditional differential characteristics. Results prove the role of gender stereotypical trait in aggressive behaviour among pairs.
