La sutil agresión de la exclusión social en la escuela
La literatura científica ha explicado ampliamente el constructo exclusión social. Sin embargo, son escasos los estudios que abordan las importantes diferencias y tipos de marginación o exclusión social en el marco de la convivencia escolar. Igualmente son pocos los estudios que focalizan el estudio del fenómeno durante la pubertad y la adolescencia. El objetivo de este trabajo ha sido describir los matices del fenómeno y diseñar y validar una esc…
Trajectories of Bystander Behaviors in Bullying during Secondary Education
Bystanders shape bullying dynamics, yet little is known about how their behaviors change over time and related socio-moral factors. This study adopted a person-centered longitudinal approach to examine joint trajectories of bystander behaviors and their co-evolution with moral disengagement and conformity to peer pressure. A sample of 994 Spanish adolescents (48% girls; Mage T1 = 12.5, SD = 0.6) was surveyed across three waves. Parallel-process L…
Ethnic-cultural bullying among adolescents in multicultural environments
How adolescents’ popularity perceptions change
Longitudinal multivariate social network analysis (N=3692 adolescents; 136 classrooms) showed that adolescents were more likely to perceive their friends as popular but did not choose peers that they perceived to be popular as friends. Adolescents aligned their perceptions of popularity with their friends. Adolescents who received many popularity nominations attracted more popularity but not more friendship. Friends of peers seen as popular by an…
Stability and change in longitudinal patterns of antisocial behaviors
Studies show that different types of antisocial behaviors share similar risk and protective factors related to particular social, emotional and moral competencies. Nevertheless, little is known about the longitudinal relation of social, emotional and moral competencies with patterns of antisocial behaviors in youth. The present study aimed to discover the longitudinal relations between social and emotional competencies, empathy, moral emotions, m…
Joint trajectories of cyberbullying perpetration and victimization
Cyberbullying is one of the most disturbing characteristics regarding the relationship between adolescents on the Internet. Although a longitudinal overview of the trajectories that adolescents may develop has been established, there is a lack of understanding of these when both perpetration and victimization are considered together. The present study aimed to analyze the joint trajectories between cyberbullying perpetration and victimization amo…
Trajectories of defending behaviors
Defending the victim in bullying situations is a moral behavior that has received increasing attention in the literature. However, important questions about the development and maintenance of defending behaviors remain unanswered. The present study adopted a longitudinal design with two main goals: (a) identifying trajectories of change in individuals' defending behavior over time and (b) describing and comparing the initial levels and dynamics o…
Aggressive and Defensive Behaviour, Normative, and Social Adjustment in the Complex Dynamics of School Bullying
Bullying is a group phenomenon in which schoolchildren take on different roles. Although certain contextual elements play a key role in its evolution, very few longitudinal studies have been carried out to date which investigate how these factors interact. This study aims to explore the different class groupings as regards bullying norms and to examine the effect of the type of norm, social, and normative adjustment and pro-sociality, also of the…
Bullying and Cyberbullying Perpetration and Victimization
Bidirectional associations between bullying and cyberbullying have consistently identified during adolescence. However, little is known about how this relationship works on the within-person level, after controlling for potential overlap at the between-person level. This study examined the bidirectional longitudinal associations between bullying and cyberbullying perpetration and victimization during 18-month period over four time points. A total…
Competencia social y bullying
La calidad de las relaciones interpersonales en la infancia y la transición hacia la adolescencia resultan de particular relevancia para la calidad de la convivencia escolar. Dicha calidad parece depender en gran parte de la competencia social de los escolares y particularmente de su participación en fenómenos de riesgo de violencia, como es el acoso escolar. Los objetivos de esta investigación fueron describir el nivel de competencia social y de…
Why do Victims become Perpetrators of Peer Bullying? Moral Disengagement in the Cycle of Violence
Previous studies have shown that there is overlap between victimization and the perpetration of bullying, and social and motivational variables are known to mediate this relationship. However, the effects of different moral disengagement strategies have not been studied, despite the fact that they exert a major influence on aggressive behavior. This hypothesis and the moderating role of gender were tested through a longitudinal study ( N = 2,066)…
Bullying Perpetration, Moral Disengagement and Need for Popularity
Precursors and consequences of bullying have been widely explored, but much remains unclear about the association of moral and motivational factors. This study examined longitudinal associations between need for popularity, moral disengagement, and bullying perpetration. A total of 3017 participants, aged 11 to 16 years in wave 1 (49% girls; M age = 13.15, SD = 1.09), were surveyed across four waves with six-month intervals. At the between-person…
Analysing Psychosocial and Contextual Factors Underpinning Bullying and Cyberbullying
Romantic Competence and Adolescent Courtship
Adolescent courtship is emerging as an important developmental process which impacts social balance and adjustment in the teenage years. Both the cultural context and different individual competencies seem to determine the success or failure of this process. However, there is little research focusing on the direct relationship between interpersonal skills and adolescent courtship, possibly due to the lack of suitable instruments to measure it. Th…
Moral Disengagement Strategies in Online and Offline Bullying
Bullying and cyberbullying perpetration can involve cognitive processes of moral disengagement; however, there is no clear evidence about which strategies have the greatest influence on this type of behaviour. The aim of this paper was to examine which dimensions of moral disengagement were associated to bullying (off/online) and to explore the effect of gender and age. A total 1,274 students (48.6% girls, aged 11 to 17 years old) from the south …

Well-Being and Romantic Relationships
Adolescence and emerging adulthood are both stages in which romantic relationships play a key role in development and can be a source of both well-being and negative outcomes. However, the limited number of studies prior to adulthood, along with the multiplicity of variables involved in the romantic context and the considerable ambiguity surrounding the construct of well-being, make it difficult to reach conclusions about the relationship between…

Evaluar el bullying y el cyberbullying validación española del Ebip-Q y del Ecip-Q
Bullying is a phenomenon of unjustified aggression which actually takes place in two formats: face to face and as a behavior that is carried out through digital devices (cyberbullying). Both have been widely studied, though currently there is little knowledge about the homogeneity of both phenomena and we do not have measuring instruments for evaluating their two dimensions: aggression and cyber-aggression, victimization and cyber-victimization. …

The ConRed Program, an Evidence-based Practice
The incredible force with which ITCs have arrived in society and the consequent risks to children when dealing with the Internet and social networks make it necessary for the domain of virtual environments to be included in the school curriculum. However, the initiatives in this direction are limited and there is a lack of rigorously evaluated programs that might act as a basis for designing educational lines of action. The ConRed Program is base…

Cyberbullying Definition Among Adolescents
Several criteria have been proposed for defining cyberbullying to young people, but no studies have proved their relevance. There are also variations across different countries in the meaning and the definition of this behavior. We systematically investigated the role of five definitional criteria for cyberbullying, in six European countries. These criteria (intentionality, imbalance of power, repetition, anonymity, and public vs. private) were c…
