Los fenómenos de acoso escolar y ciberacoso continúan preocupando a la sociedad en general, y especialmente a la comunidad educativa, la cual se siente incapaz de abordarlos por no contar con un sustento legal que le indique cómo detectar el problema, qué hacer en esos casos y de qué manera sensibilizar a padres, profesores y alumnos para prevenir la violencia escolar. La presente investigación analiza la normativa educativa de las 17 comunidades autónomas españolas para mostrar el grado de respaldo legal que se está dando al bullying y cyberbullying. Para ello se ha ejecutado una revisión sistemática cualitativa de decretos, leyes, órdenes y resoluciones con la ayuda de un instrumento de evaluación documental creado ad hoc. Los resultados indican que la mayor parte de las CC.AA contemplan el acoso escolar, pero menos de la mitad el ciberacoso, y solo 2 de las 17 aluden al bullying homofóbico y/o transfóbico. Respecto a los protocolos, únicamente 6 de las comunidades autónomas reflejan en su legislación un reglamento que apoye la detección e intervención en cyberbullying. En cuanto a las medidas para agresor y víctima, la mayor parte de la legislación educativa analizada alude a medidas correctivas-disciplinarias para el acosador y de apoyo y protección para el acosado. Por tanto, el grado de respaldo normativo de las CC.AA al acoso escolar y ciberacoso se considera aún insuficiente o inadecuado, no ciñéndose a lo expuesto en los informes del Defensor del Pueblo Español ni a las sugerencias aportadas por los estudios más actuales.

Berra y Dueñas (2013) conceptualizan la convivencia escolar como la interrelación entre los diferentes miembros de un establecimiento educacional, la cual no se limita a la relación entre personas sino que incluye las formas de interacción entre los diferentes estamentos que conforman una comunidad educativa.La convivencia, cuando es adecuada, puede ser entendida como un modo de vivir Efectos de la aplicación de un programa de inteligencia emocional en la dinámica de bullying. Un estudio pilotoResumen: Los escolares se enfrentan diariamente a infinidad de retos. Para superarlos cuentan con la ayuda del grupo de iguales, familia o profesorado. Sin embargo, los discentes quedan expuestos cuando dentro del centro escolar no encuentran apoyo frente a fenómenos violentos. De esta forma, surge la necesidad de fortalecer el clima de convivencia escolar y de dotar a los alumnos y alumnas de competencias emocionales. La presente investigación pretende analizar la eficacia de un programa de inteligencia emocional en la mejora del clima de convivencia y el bullying, así como en el desarrollo de ciertas habilidades emocionales. Para ello, se implementó el programa Convivencia e Inteligencia Emocional (CIE) en una muestra de 27 sujetos. Como instrumentos de recogida de información se utilizaron el Test Bull-S y el cuestionario Convivencia e Inteligencia Emocional (CIE). El diseño de investigación fue pre-experimental con medidas repetidas pretestpostest. Los datos sugieren, tal como recogen investigaciones previas, la pertinencia del programa para la mejora de ciertos aspectos del clima de convivencia y acoso escolar, así como para desarrollo de la motivación y la empatía. Se concluye, con carácter exploratorio, la idoneidad de abordar la educación emocional en la adolescencia como herramienta preventiva de problemas de convivencia escolar.Palabras clave: Clima de convivencia, Acoso escolar, Inteligencia Emocional, Intervención Educativa, Convivencia Escolar. Effects of the application of an emotional intelligence program on the dynamics of bullying. A pilot studyAbstract: It is well known that schoolchildren are faced with a large number of challenges every day. The support of their peer group, family, or teachers can help them to overcome these challenges. However, students are vulnerable when they do not find support against violent actions at school. Hence, the importance of strengthening the atmosphere of school coexistence and providing students with emotional tools. The present investigation analyzed the effectiveness of an Emotional Intelligence program for the improvement of the climate of coexistence and bullying as well as for the development of emotional skills. For this purpose, the "Convivencia e Inteligencia Emocional" (CIE [Coexistence and Emotional Intelligence]) program was implemented in a sample of 27 students. The Bull-S Test and the Convivencia e Inteligencia Emocional (CIE) questionnaire were used to collect the data. The method followed was pre-experimental with repeated pretest-posttest measures.

In today’s society, ICTs have become essential tools and supports in the daily life of adolescents, being present in all areas of their lives. They can make optimal use of them, but also an irresponsible or problematic use, especially in a stage of high vulnerability such as adolescence. To further examine the study of this social and educational problem, the following objectives are proposed: 1) to validate a dimension of an instrument on the problematic use of mobile phones, video games and the Internet; 2) to validate a dimension of a scale on social skills; 3) to describe the effect of problematic mobile phone use and video games on social skills and 4) to describe the effect of problematic mobile phone use and video games on academic performance. A sample of 195 participants from southern Spain (Murcia) was selected. A quantitative, non-experimental, survey type research design was used. The reliability and construct validity of the instrument were calculated and descriptive statistics were performed. The instrument achieved good reliability (α = .841 ICT dimension); (α = .781 social skills dimension). Regarding the construct validity, a 6-factor model was reached that explains 64.27% of the variance, (KMO = .813; Sig <.005 ICT dimension); (KMO = .554; Sig <.005 social skills dimension), in the same way, ICTs are pointed out as mediators of academic performance and social skills. The study concludes by pointing to the Ud-TIC as a valid and reliable instrument.

Introduction: Research focused on the association between peer cybervictimization and declining health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is scarce. Currently, few longitudinal studies find an association between these phenomena, and none focus on cybervictimization profiles. The main objectives are: (1) to analyze the point and period prevalence, and incidence of cybervictimization profiles (uninvolved, new, ceased, intermittent, and stable cybervictims); (2) to study the relationship between cybervictimization and HRQoL over time; (3) to determine the longitudinal impact on the HRQoL of each type of profile. Methods: A prospective study was conducted in three waves over 13 months. A total of 1142 adolescents aged 11-18 years participated in all the waves (630 girls, 55.2%). Results: The prevalence of victimization for the three waves was 21.6% (Wave 1; W1), 23.5% (W2), and 19.6% (W3), respectively. The period prevalence was 41.3%, and the accumulated incidence was 25.1%. It was found that 24% of the participants were new victims, 5.9% were intermittent victims, and 6% were stable victims. Being a cybervictim at W1 poses a relative risk of 1. 73 [1.29-2.32], that is, a twofold increased risk of presenting a low HRQoL 13 months later compared to those who are not cybervictims. Conclusion: One in four adolescents became a new cybervictim during the 13 months of the study. The adolescents who presented poorer HRQoL were the stable cybervictims.
