Brief Description

This is a self-report questionnaire designed to record experiences related to school violence and bullying, from both the victim’s and the perpetrator’s perspectives. It includes five dimensions: frequency of victimization, types of bullying behaviors, emotional responses, impact on school and social life, and the respondent’s involvement as a perpetrator. The instrument captures the multifactorial nature of school violence through both quantitative and qualitative variables.

Purpose

The purpose of the tool is to systematically assess the phenomenon of school violence and bullying by identifying both the extent and the nature of student involvement. It focuses on both victimization and aggressive behavior, providing data that can inform prevention, mediation, and intervention efforts in school settings.

Scoring Method

Scoring is based on Likert-type scales, where participants rate the frequency of specific experiences or behaviors. For instance, victimization frequency is recorded using options such as “never,” “rarely,” “sometimes,” or “often.” Additional questions focus on emotional responses and involvement as a perpetrator, offering a comprehensive profile of the individual’s role in bullying incidents.

Validity

The tool has been tested for construct validity and demonstrates a clear distinction between experiences of victimization and aggression. Moreover, its items align with theoretical models of school violence and recognized forms of bullying, such as verbal, physical, social, and indirect bullying.

Reliability

The reliability of the questionnaire has been confirmed through internal consistency indicators (Cronbach’s alpha), with subscales showing high stability (α > 0.80), supporting its reliable use in both research and educational settings.

Data Analysis and Use

Analysis can be performed at the level of individual dimensions or as an overall profile. Data may be correlated with variables such as gender, age, school grade, academic performance, and socioeconomic background. The tool can support the development of prevention policies, the design of intervention programs, and the education of teachers and parents on school bullying.
