Abstract:This study’s objective was to assess the social skills, peer acceptance, and friendship among students involved in bullying situations transitioning from elementary to middle school. A total of 408 6th grade students from six public schools in the interior of São Paulo, Brazil composed the sample; 54.9% of whom were aged 11.3 years on average (Standard Deviation = 0.6). Data were analyzed using Analysis of Variance and Spearman’s correlation. In regard to social skills, bully-victims present a greater amount o… Show more
“…Peer acceptance is one of the most crucial points in starting and pursuing participation to the school system, and also it is helping to forecast the adjustment (Ladd & Price, 1987). There are many factors are affecting the peer acceptance of the child within the class and one of them is social skills (Silva et al, 2019). Children with disadvantages may have a lack of appropriate social skills for different reasons, such as insufficient experience with their peers (Frostad & Pijl, 2006).…”

Transition to school can be described as an opportunity for children to experience a new social and educational environment. However, it also includes a loss of security area and fear of the journey into the unknown and it can be more difficult for children with disadvantages and their families. It is necessary to address the recent studies conducted on this period, in order to present different perspectives and to determine the tendency of the studies carried out on the transition to primary school in the current literature. In this way, it is possible to look at the transition to school for children with disadvantages from a broad perspective. The aim of this study is to review the research that addresses the transition process of children with disadvantages to primary school. Following the inclusion and exclusion processes carried out in this context, 15 studies related to the subject were examined and the studies were analyzed descriptively. According to the findings, it is seen that the studies mostly focus on revealing the existing situation. The findings of the studies examined in this context are interpreted under the themes of (a) factors affecting the transition of children, (b) problems experienced in the transition, (c) collaboration in the transition, and (d) advices for the process. Findings reveal the importance of each individual in a community at the same risk having their own characteristics, and of considering individual differences while addressing cultural differences. It is thought that new research is needed to improve the transition in terms of inclusivity.

“…Aunque no existe unanimidad en su definición, es entendida como toda conducta social positiva que se realiza para beneficiar a otro con o sin motivación altruista y de manera voluntaria (Gómez-Tabares & Narváez, 2020). Comprende acciones de ayuda, capacidad de empatía, de cooperación e intercambio en las relaciones afectivas (Da Silva et al, 2019) y el cumplimiento de las normas sociales (Moreno et al, 2019). Estudios han reportado asociaciones entre la conducta prosocial y la empatía (Moreno et al, 2019), la conducta altruista (Gómez-Tabares & Narváez, 2020) y las estrategias de afrontamiento productivas orientadas a enfrentar el problema (Nacimiento et al, 2017).…”

“…En esta dirección, se encontró que los adolescentes que participan acosando a sus pares, así como los que participan con doble rol agresorvictimizado, presentan dificultades para ser empáticos (Estévez et al, 2018;Garaigordobil, 2017a), iniciar y mantener conversaciones (Chávez-Becerra & Aragón-Borja, 2017), autorregular sus emociones (Moreno et al, 2019), y utilizan más mecanismos de afrontamiento improductivos lo que les impedirían utilizar conductas alternativas a la agresión (Mestre et al, 2012 sobre si los maltratadores son socialmente incompetentes o manipuladores socialmente hábiles (Da Silva et al, 2019). Se ha identificado que no carecen de habilidades sociales, son hábiles en la manipulación de personas y situaciones para obtener beneficios, pero tienen normas morales poco desarrolladas (Bussey et al, 2015).…”

“…En relación a las víctimas, estos hallazgos podrían sugerir que tienen cierta capacidad para comprender y responder empáticamente a las experiencias afectivas de sus pares (Moreno et al, 2019), así como de responder de modo altruista sin esperar una recompensa directa (Gómez-Tabares & Narváez, 2020). Dato que se contrapone a otros trabajos (Da Silva et al, 2019), por lo que sugiere una mayor profundización.…”
Antecedentes: el bullying es un problema complejo por lo que las investigaciones sugieren poner el foco en las características individuales de los adolescentes, así como explorar aquellos contextos que inciden en su desarrollo, como el familiar y escolar, adoptando una visión ecológica. Objetivo: indagar los factores individuales (comportamientos prosociales/antisociales) y las características de los contextos familiares y escolares vinculados a la conducta de bullying en adolescentes escolarizados de escuelas públicas y privadas de la ciudad de Córdoba. Método: se administró una batería de test para medir las variables en estudio a 3500 adolescentes entre 11 y 20 años. Se realizó un análisis de correspondencia múltiple. Resultados: se detectan dos dimensiones que explican un 36.47% de la variabilidad de los datos, como ejes estructurales del espacio de las representaciones, que identifican los patrones sobre los que se discriminan los roles implicados en el bullying. Se verifica que las víctimas comparten más características con los no implicados y los agresores con el grupo denominado víctimas-agresores, constatando que los roles ante el acoso no son excluyentes. Conclusión: la identificación de los diferentes factores se constituye en un insumo valioso para el diseño de intervenciones orientadas a la prevención.
“…It is a form of peer violence that can happen in various settings, but is particularly prevalent in schools (2) . In school environments, students can engage in aggressive behavior (bullies), become targets of such behavior (victims), or both perpetrate and experience violence simultaneously (bully-victims) (3) . The aggression can be physical (hitting, pushing, kicking, etc.…”
Objectives: to analyze the associations between bullying participation profiles (victims, bullies, and bully-victims) and the risk for eating disorders in adolescents. Methods: a cross-sectional study was conducted with 491 students, aged 10 to 18 years. Data were collected through the application of the Peer Victimization and Aggression Scale and the Eating Attitudes Test, and were statistically analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Spearman correlation. Results: the risk for eating disorders was higher for the victim profile, both for boys and girls. For both sexes, physical victimization, verbal victimization, and relational victimization were significantly associated with variables related to the risk for eating disorders. For boys, there were also significant associations related to aggression. Conclusions: student victims, especially boys, are more vulnerable to the consequences of bullying in relation to the risk for eating disorders.
