Estudos realizados na infância e adolescência apontam para uma associação entre a manifestação de comportamento agressivo e a aceitação social. Procurando alargar, o conhecimento sobre o papel da agressividade e da vitimização na aceitação social, o presente trabalho teve como objectivo estudar a relação entre a prática de bullying e a aceitação pelos pares, em jovens adolescentes. Os participantes são 762 adolescentes (381 do sexo feminino e 381 do sexo masculino), com idades compreendidas entre os 10 e os 15 anos (M=13,16, DP=1,04), estudantes do 7º ano de escolaridade, de escolas da região da Grande Lisboa. A aceitação social assim como a agressividade e a vitimização foram avaliadas através do Extended Class Play (Rubin, Wojslawowicz, Rose-Krasnor, Booth-LaForce & Burgess, 2006a). Foram encontradas diferenças significativas entre adolescentes agressivos e adolescentes vitimizados ao nível da aceitação pelos pares.
