“…In light of the limitations of existing measures of peer victimization, several authors have argued that the assessment of offline and online peer victimization must be systematized (e.g., Berne et al, 2013;Crothers & Levinson, 2004;Elinoff, Chafouleas, & Sassu, 2004;Tokunaga, 2010). This study aims to address this call by developing a sound measure of direct and indirect offline and online peer victimization, the Multidimensional Offline and Online Peer Victimization Scale (MOOPV).…”

a b s t r a c tPeer victimization can seriously impair one's well-being. As youth spend more time on the Internet, a new form of peer victimization has emerged, namely, online peer victimization. To fully comprehend peer victimization among today's youth, there is a need for a psychometrically sound measure that can assess peer victimization occurring both offline and online. In addition, research has shown that it is also important to distinguish between direct and indirect peer victimization. Thus, the aim of this study was to develop and validate the Multidimensional Offline and Online Peer Victimization Scale (MOOPV). The MOOPV measures how often adolescents experience direct and indirect forms of offline and online peer victimization. The four-factor structure of the MOOPV was confirmed using exploratory (n = 325) and confirmatory factor analyses (n = 799) among adolescents aged 9-18 years. As expected, higher scores on all subscales were related to lower levels of psychosocial wellbeing, i.e., less life satisfaction, more loneliness and less social self-esteem. In all, the 20-item MOOPV proved to be a valid, reliable and highly useful instrument. Importantly, because the MOOPV is not linked to specific technologies, it will remain viable even after new technologies for online communication become available.

“…La descripción detallada del fenómeno favorece entonces, la aparición de estudios preocupados por la descripción de los agentes implicados (Rigby, 1997;Monks, Smith y Swettenham, 2003;Veenstra, Lindenberg, Oldehinkel, De Winter, Verhulst y Ormel, 2005;Camodeca y Goossens, 2005; Perren y Alsaker, 2006), el análisis de los factores causales del fenómeno (Lahey, Waldman y McBurnett, 1999;Kokkinos y Panayiotou, 2004;Farrington, 2005), y de estudios centrados en el análisis de los efectos que, en especial, el problema tiene entre las víctimas (Crick y Grotpeter, 1995;Perren y Alsaker, 2006). Como resultado final de toda la investigación previa y de los resultados obtenidos en estudios actuales, se está produciendo un aumento de investigaciones centradas en el diseño, desarrollo y evaluación sistemática de programas de intervención (Cowie y Olaffson, 2000;Trianes y García, 2002;Elinoff, Chafouleas y Sassu, 2004;Nordhagen, Nielsen, Stigum y Köhler, 2005; Benítez, Almeida y Justicia, en prensa).…”

El artículo pretende ser, a la vez que una presentación de este Monográfico sobre Maltrato entre Iguales (Bullying), un artículo introductorio que permita tener a los lectores una visión actualizada del fenómeno que será tratado desde diferentes perspectivas por investiga-dores del ámbito nacional e internacional. Con este propósito, presentamos aspectos que han generado controversia entre los investigadores del fenómeno bullying relacionados con la definición, la incidencia y prevalencia del fenómeno o la influencia de determinadas variables como la edad y el sexo. Al mismo tiempo, se realiza una revisión de los tipos de maltrato más comunes, una caracterización de los agentes implicados, así como un análisis de los factores de riesgo más importantes en la génesis del problema. El objetivo último es proporcionar información sobre el fenómeno bullying que permita caracterizar y entender de una forma más específica la realidad de un problema de interés e importancia en el seno de los centros educativos.

AbstractObjective: To warn pediatricians about the high prevalence of bullying among students, to raise their awareness about the importance of their action in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of possible damage to childrens health and development, and about the necessity to instruct families and society on how to face the most frequent form of youth violence.Source of data: Bibliographic databases and relevant Internet sites were searched for recent articles and texts about the theme.Summary of the findings: Aggressive behavior among students is a universal problem, tradivionally accepted as natural and usually disregarded or not given proper attention by adults. Studies carried out during the past two decades showed that bullying can have immediate and late negative outcomes for children and adolescents who are directly or indirectly involved. The adoption of continued preventive programs in grade schools and in junior high schools has demonstrated to be one of the most effective measures for the prevention of alcohol and drug consumption and for the reduction of social violence. Conclusion:The prevention of bullying among students represents an essential public health measure that may allow for total childrens development, qualifying them for a healthy and safe social coexistence.
