SANCHEZ CARLESSI, Héctor Hugo e PALACIOS GIL, Renzo Ricardo. Comparative study of indicators of maladjusted psychosocial behavior among high school students with higher and lower propensity to bullying behavior. Rev. Fac. Med. Hum. [online]. 2023, vol.23, n.4, pp.100-107. Epub 30-Nov-2023. ISSN 1814-5469. http://dx.doi.org/10.25176/rfmh.v23i4.6391.
Introduction:
Bullying is harmful behavior in school contexts, affecting students' lives.
Objective:
To identify and compare indicators of maladjusted behavior in students with different propensities to bullying.
Methodology:
This descriptive and quantitative study used surveys and a comparative followed by correlational design to assess maladjusted behaviors (stress, low self-esteem, incivility, family maladjustment, propensity to violence) in secondary students from Lima and Callao. The non-probabilistic sample included 1345 first and second-year students, divided into two groups based on their bullying propensity (high -Group E- and low -Group C-). Scales from the INDACPS inventories and the Bullying Propensity Scale (BPS) were applied, analyzing data with SPSS v.25 and Jamovi. Differences between groups were assessed using the Mann-Whitney U test, and variable correlation was determined using Spearman's correlation.
Results:
Group E had higher levels of stress, low self-esteem, incivility, family maladjustment, and propensity to violence, with statistical significance (p<0.001) compared to Group C. Statistically significant correlations were found between the propensity to bullying and these indicators, being stronger in the total sample (p<0.001). Additionally, significant gender differences were observed in stress, low self-esteem, family maladjustment, and propensity to violence, but not in incivility and bullying propensity.
Conclusion:
Students with a higher propensity to bullying exhibit higher levels of stress, low self-esteem, incivility, family maladjustment, and propensity to violence, underscoring the importance of comprehensive interventions.
