| Sumario: | The objective of this work is to investigate and describe the reasons that students aged between 13 and 18 years, enrolled in schools located in the territory of Buenos Aires, Argentina, relate to the phenomenon of bullying, both in its traditional form and as cybernetics –cyberbullying-. Likewise, it is proposed to distinguish the motives adduced by the students considering their role of implication, victim or aggressor, in each one of these modalities. A descriptive, cross-sectional and non-experimental study was carried out, using a non-probabilistic sample by accessibility, consisting of 259 students (67.1% women, age M = 15.6, SD = 1.6), to whom the versions were administered adapted from the instruments called Cuestionario sobre Intimidación y Maltrato entre Iguales, Escala CYB – VIC y Escala CYB – AG. The results obtained allow us to observe that students relate the situations of bullying with different reasons such as provocation, the asymmetry of power between those who abuse and those who are mistreated, the perception of weakness, the need to belong to the group, the negative perception of individual differences and the fact of making a hoax. It is also noted that the reasons referred to by the students are reported in dissimilar proportions, considering their role of involvement as a victim or as an aggressor, both in situations of bullying and cyberbullying. The practical implications of the results found are discussed in order to favor the appropriate approach to school abuse between students. |
