“…Moreover, bullying for males is more likely to be based on power, so the preference for males to use physical forms of bullying may reflect the greater physical strength (in general) of males compared to females (Rivers & Smith, 1994). Sanchez-Martin, Fano, Ahedo, Cardas, Brain and Azpiroz (2000) found that for males, testosterone is positively related to aggressive behaviour in their social interactions with others. They suggested that males who have higher levels of testosterone, or, those who are more physiologically sensitive to the pres ence of the hormone, irrespective of the actual level, make more use of physically aggressive forms of bullying.…”

The aim of the current study was to examine how bullying by peers relates to self-esteem, school connectedness and motivation for academic success in an Australian high school. Questionnaires were completed by 975 students across years 7 to 12. As predicted, male students were subjected to more direct forms of bullying than female students. However, contrary to expectations, there were no significant differences between males and females in their reported experience of indirect forms of bullying. Also, students in the lower year levels of high school reported being bullied more frequently than students in high year levels. Findings supported predictions that students who were bullied by their peers at school tended to report having lower levels of self-esteem, feeling less connected to their peers, teachers and school, and being less motivated to perform well at school. These results may have implications for school-based intervention programs that are designed to reduce bullying behaviours.

“…Embora fosse esperado, mediante comparação com dados da literatura, que os meninos excedessem as meninas na utilização de agressão física como estratégia de oposição (Laursen & Hartup, 1989;Sánchez-Martin et al, 2000), não foram constatadas diferenças estatisticamente significativas nesse aspecto. Entretanto, se analisarmos apenas o grupo de São Paulo, essa expectativa se confirma: meninos excederam suas colegas em táticas agressivas (t 18 = 2,794, p<0,05 -Figuras 8.8 e 8.9).…”

El presente trabajo expone la revisión y análisis de distintas investigaciones realizadas por múltiples autores quienes han aportado valiosos descubrimientos para la comprensión de las conductas agresivas y los comportamientos violentos de los seres humanos. La agresión y la violencia son conductas bastante complejas que, en dosis moderadas, pueden tener unafunción adaptativa en entornos ambientales exigentes que supongan retos para la supervivencia del individuo. De este modo, la agresión y la violencia podrían considerarse como parte de una misma dimensión continua (Vassos, 2014). Diversos factores psicobiológicos convergen e interactúan en el marco de las causas y consecuencias de la agresión y la violencia, como las bases genéticas (genes y herencia), la neuroquímica del cerebro (neurotransmisores y hormonas), las estructuras subcorticales (hipotálamo, amígdala, corteza cingulada anterior, fascículo uncinado), el desempeño de la corteza prefrontal y las funciones ejecutivas (corteza orbitofrontal, corteza ventromedial, corteza dorsolateral). No podemos olvidar la interacción de los factores anteriormente mencionados con la interacción e influencia de los factores ambientales, psicosociales y culturales en la manifestación de actos violentos por parte de los seres humanos
