          Abstract

          Resumo Este estudo objetivou elaborar a Escala de Comportamentos de Bullying (ECB), checando evidências de validade e precisão. Participaram 455 estudantes do ensino fundamental de escolas públicas e particulares de Parnaíba (PI), com idade média de 11,3 anos, em maioria do sexo feminino (53,5%). Todos responderam à versão preliminar da medida, de 30 itens, e perguntas demográficas. Realizou-se a análise dos eixos principais (AEP) (rotação Varimax), o Scree Test, e a análise paralela indicou a existência de uma estrutura tetrafatorial. Logo, realizou-se uma nova AEP, fixando a extração de quatro fatores, estes explicaram conjuntamente 47,7% da variância total, cujos alfas de Cronbach variaram de 0,60 a 0,79. Esses achados revelam que a ECB reúne evidências favoráveis de validade e consistência interna, podendo ser adequadamente utilizada em estudos futuros para conhecer os antecedentes e consequências do bullying.

          Abstract This work aimed to develop the Bullying Behaviors Scale (BBS), checking evidences of validity and reliability. 455 elementary school students from public and private schools in Parnaíba (PI), Brazil, participated in the study. Their mean age was 11.3, being mostly female (53.5%). All participants completed a preliminary version of the measure, composed by 30 items, and demographic questions. A Principal Axis Analysis was performed (PAF; Varimax rotation), the Scree test, and parallel analysis indicated the existence of a four-factor structure, consistent with the literature (verbal, physical, relational and virtual). Next, a new PAF was performed, establishing the extraction of four factors, which account for 47.7% of total variance, and Cronbach alphas ranged from .60 to .79. These findings reveal that the BBS meets favorable evidence of validity and reliability, and it is suitable for use in future studies aiming to understand the antecedents and consequences of bullying.

          Resumen Este estudio tuvo como objetivo elaborar la Escala de Comportamientos de Bullying (ECB), examinando evidencias de validez y precisión. Participaron 455 estudiantes de Enseñanza Primaria de escuelas públicas y privadas de la ciudad de Parnaíba (PI), Brasil, con edad media de 11,3 años, la mayoría del sexo femenino (53.5%). Todos respondieron a la versión preliminar de la escala que contiene 30 ítems, y a preguntas demográficas. Se realizó el análisis de los Ejes Principales (AEP) (rotación Varimax), el Scree Test, y análisis paralelos, los cuales indicaron la existencia de una estructura de cuatro factores. Luego se realizó una nueva AEP fijando la extracción de cuatro factores, que explicaron el 47,7% de la variabilidad total, y sus alfas de Cronbach variaron de 0,60 a 0,79. Estos resultados ponen de manifiesto que la ECB reúne evidencias favorables de validez y precisión, y se puede utilizar adecuadamente en futuros estudios para conocer los antecedentes y las consecuencias del bullying.

          Cyberbullying: its nature and impact in secondary school pupils.

          Cyberbullying describes bullying using mobile phones and the internet. Most previous studies have focused on the prevalence of text message and email bullying. Two surveys with pupils aged 11-16 years: (1) 92 pupils from 14 schools, supplemented by focus groups; (2) 533 pupils from 5 schools, to assess the generalisability of findings from the first study, and investigate relationships of cyberbullying to general internet use. Both studies differentiated cyberbullying inside and outside of school, and 7 media of cyberbullying. Both studies found cyberbullying less frequent than traditional bullying, but appreciable, and reported more outside of school than inside. Phone call and text message bullying were most prevalent, with instant messaging bullying in the second study; their impact was perceived as comparable to traditional bullying. Mobile phone/video clip bullying, while rarer, was perceived to have more negative impact. Age and gender differences varied between the two studies. Study 1 found that most cyberbullying was done by one or a few students, usually from the same year group. It often just lasted about a week, but sometimes much longer. The second study found that being a cybervictim, but not a cyberbully, correlated with internet use; many cybervictims were traditional 'bully-victims'. Pupils recommended blocking/avoiding messages, and telling someone, as the best coping strategies; but many cybervictims had told nobody about it. Cyberbullying is an important new kind of bullying, with some different characteristics from traditional bullying. Much happens outside school. Implications for research and practical action are discussed.

            Cyberbullying: another main type of bullying?

            Cyberbullying has recently emerged as a new form of bullying and harassment. 360 adolescents (12-20 years), were surveyed to examine the nature and extent of cyberbullying in Swedish schools. Four categories of cyberbullying (by text message, email, phone call and picture/video clip) were examined in relation to age and gender, perceived impact, telling others, and perception of adults becoming aware of such bullying. There was a significant incidence of cyberbullying in lower secondary schools, less in sixth-form colleges. Gender differences were few. The impact of cyberbullying was perceived as highly negative for picture/video clip bullying. Cybervictims most often chose to either tell their friends or no one at all about the cyberbullying, so adults may not be aware of cyberbullying, and (apart from picture/video clip bullying) this is how it was perceived by pupils. Findings are discussed in relation to similarities and differences between cyberbullying and the more traditional forms of bullying.
