Description
Summary:The aim of this research was to analyze if there are individual differences amongst young aggressors females and males, family related differences, differences at school and community related differences. The final testing was made using 348 teenagers who had high rankings in violence at school, out of which 70% were male and 30% female, with ages ranging between 12 and 18 (M=15.01, DT=1.73) in four Secondary Schools in Andalusia. The results obtained show the differences between male and female bullies at an individual level (empathy and academic self-esteem), family (positive communication with the father), school (acceptance and social relations) and community (participation). Finally, results and its implications are discussed.
