- Abstract
Introduction. In this paper we conduct an epidemiological study on school bullying as to show the real situation in the centers of the Community of Extremadura. Among the objectives we have set include: 1. To analyze the prevalence of different forms of abuse and compare the results with those found by the job "School Violence: Bullying in Secondary Education" of the Ombudsman (2006) 2. To know the role of gender, course and public or private institution in the incidence and type of bullying. Method. The number of participants was determined from the number of students enrolled in secondary school in Extremadura during 2008-2009, considering a sampling error of 3% and a confidence level of 95.5%. Finally, the number of participants was 1700 students of Secondary Education of Extremadura, from 22 public and private-arranged. We used the questionnaire of the Ombudsman-Unicef (2006), is a questionnaire that examines the impact of bullying from three perspectives: observer, perpetrator and victim. Results. We appreciate percentages slightly higher in the centers of Extremadura ESO. We found significant differences (Chi Square Test) due to gender, grade and type of school, from the viewpoint of the victim and the aggressor, in different forms of school bullying. Discussion and Conclusion. All forms of abuse occur in all studied secondary schools in the Community of Extremadura. However, there is an inverse relationship between the "seriousness" of abuse and frequency. The boys are more frequently involved in the bullying, both as perpetrators and victims, with the exception of slander more associated with girls. There is a general tendency for the victims are students from primary grades, especially, the first of the ESO and the perpetrators are mainly students of 4 º ESO. Finally, private schools/concluded are more involved in school bullying in patterns of social exclusion and verbal aggression. Our results obtained during the year 2009-10 are consistent with research as realized by the Ombudsman (1999, 2006)
