Abstract

Bullying continues to be a persistent phenomenon, with a strong association between being a victim of bullying and mental health problems throughout life. This research aims to identify the relationship between being a victim of bullying and some psychological problems (anxiety, self-esteem, social competence, family problems, and emotional regulation) in a sample of 924 5thand 6thgradestudents (Primary Education). in the province of Huelva (Spain). The sample was selected usinga stratified proportional random cluster sampling. For this purpose, two scales have been administered,one for the detection of bullying (Bullying Detection Scale), and theother onefor the detection of psychological factors (Psychological Characteristics Detection Scale). TheBullying Detection Scale was designed taking as reference the scales of Jiménez (2007),and López & Orpinas (2012), while the Psychological Characteristics Detection Scale was designed taking as reference the scale of Fernández-Pinto et al. (2015). The results show that students who are victims of bullying havemore negative results than their peers in all psychological factors. These results highlight the importance of conducting research on bullying, since they are the basis for the development of preventive and intervention strategies from schools, with the support of the guidance professionals, which would lead to a decrease in the influence of this problem
