Abstract

Bullying is an important risk factor for the mental health of adolescents. With the development of new technologies, a type of harassment called cyberbullying emerged that presents different qualitative characteristics. However, there are few instruments to measure both behaviors together. The objective of this research was to evaluate for the first time the psychometric properties of the BCS-A scale by Thomas et al. that measures bullying and cyberbullying multi-dimensionally in a sample of Spanish-speaking adolescents. For this purpose, an intentional sample of 842 students who attended secondary school in Argentina (46% male, 53% female and 1% non-binary) was constituted. Participants answered the questionnaire, the Goodman Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire, and demographic questions. Factor analyzes -exploratory and confirmatory- indicated four dimensions: physical, verbal, relational and virtual victimization, as well as to carry out bullying. Also the internal consistencies were adequate. Concurrent validity was found with respect to Goodman Questionnaire. Thus, the BCS-A scale by Thomas et al. It would be a useful tool to evaluate both issues and try to examine specific psychosocial correlates of both bullying.

托马斯欺凌和网络欺凌量表 (BCS-A) 在阿根廷青少年中的心理计量特性
欺凌是影响青少年心理健康的一个重要风险因素。随着新技术的发展,出现了一种被称为网络欺凌的骚扰行为,它呈现出不同的质量特征。然而,很少有工具能同时测量这两种行为。本研究旨在首次评估托马斯(Thomas)等人编制的 BCS-A 量表的心理测量特性,该量表可多维度测量西班牙语青少年样本中的欺凌和网络欺凌行为。为此,研究人员有意抽取了阿根廷的 842 名中学生(46% 为男生,53% 为女生,1% 为非二元学生)作为样本。参与者回答了调查问卷、古德曼优势与困难问卷以及人口统计学问题。因子分析(探索性和确认性)显示了四个维度:身体伤害、言语伤害、关系伤害和虚拟伤害,以及实施欺凌。此外,内部一致性也很好。与古德曼问卷的并发有效性也得到了证实。因此,托马斯等人的 BCS-A 量表将成为评估这两个问题的有用工具,并可尝试研究这两种欺凌行为的具体社会心理相关因素。
