Abstract(s)
Bullying is not a new phenomenon and across countries is receiving increased attention. What is new is the growing awareness that bullying as serious consequences for both students, their peers and schools. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between different levels of school adjustment and bullying. Using stratified random sampling, a sample of 581 students aged 12 to 17 years from 11 schools of Lisbon was drawn. Data was collected using the Health Behaviours in School-Aged Children (HBSC) used by the World Health Organization (WHO) to asses, among others, peer acceptance, peer aggression, friendship, and feelings of safety, pleasure and boredom at school; the Harter Self-Perception Profile for Adolescents; a Peer Nomination Inventory to identify bullies, victims, bully-victims and not involved; and a Sociometric Questionnaire to asses student’s social status (popular, average, neglected, rejected and controversial). Results show that the impact of these different factores varied within subgroups of bullies, victims and bully-victims.
