Resumo(s)
Tendo como ponto de referência a variedade de resultados obtidos nos diversos trabalhos sobre
o fenómeno bullying entre pares, o principal objectivo deste estudo é contribuir para o
conhecimento das várias manifestações que estas condutas podem assumir e perceber de que
forma se relacionam com algumas variáveis sociodemográficas (género, ano de escolaridade e
idade) e com o autoconceito.
Numa amostra de 192 participantes do 3º ciclo do Concelho de Lisboa, através do Questionário
de Exclusão Social e Violência Escolar (QEVE) e da Escala de Autoconceito para Adolescentes,
verificámos que as condutas de bullying mais frequentes remetem para comportamentos de
exclusão social e verbal. Em relação às variáveis sociodemográficas apenas encontrámos
diferenças significativas em relação ao género. Os rapazes evidenciaram participar com mais
frequência em condutas de agressão, quer de “exclusão social e verbal” quer físicas,
comparativamente às raparigas. Procedemos igualmente à identificação das vítimas, agressores,
vítimas-agressivas e aos não envolvidos. Estes quatro grupos demonstraram diferenças
significativas entre si em relação aos domínios do autoconceito (social, aparência física, atracção
romântica) e à auto-estima.
ABSTRACT: Taking into account the variety of results obtained in wide range of studies about the phenomenon of bullying amongst peers, the aim of the present study is to contribute to the understanding of the several forms these behaviours can take, and appreciate in which way do these bear relation to certain socio-demographic (e.g. gender, year of study, age) and self-concept variables. A sample comprising 192 participants of middle school students from Lisbon County, were administered the Social Exclusion and School-related Violence Questionnaire (QEVE). The results indicate that most frequent display of bullying behaviours correlate with social and verbal exclusion behaviours. Regarding the socio-demographic variables, the most significant differences were only found at the level of gender relations. The boys reported higher overall rates of both “social exclusion and verbal” and physical aggressive behaviour when compared with girls. The study also identified four other groups, the victims, aggressors, victim-aggressors and non-involved. Results point towards significant differences amongst these groups in the selfconcept categories (social, physical, appearance, romantic attraction) and in self-esteem.
