Relationship between social self-concept, Family climate and school climate with bullying in secondary students

Abstract

The study determined the relationship between the variables social self, family climate and school climate with the presence of bullying in public high school students of a northwestern state of Mexico. From a total of 930 students who were surveyed 195 were selected to participate in the study (20.1 %), who reported an average of three or more aggressive behavior toward peers during the last month. Using a multiple linear regression was determined that the variables School Climate (standardized Beta =-.491) and Family Climate (standardized Beta =-.407), explain a significant portion of violence among students (R2 = .74). The fact that school and family variables were significantly related to bullying revealed the use of the ecological approach in the analysis of the problem.
