MENDOZA GONZALEZ, Brenda; ROJAS GONZALEZ, Carolina  and  BARRERA BACA, Alfredo. Role of participation in bullying and its relationship with anxiety. Perfiles educativos [online]. 2017, vol.39, n.158, pp.38-51. ISSN 0185-2698.

The purpose of the research presented was to study differences among groups of students participating in bullying in relation to the variable of anxiety. Participating in the study were 1,190 students (599 females and 591 males) between 9 and 16 years of age (M =11.44; DT = 1.7), with 574 from elementary education and 616 from secondary education, enrolled in 11 public schools in the state of Mexico. Two instruments were applied, the first to measure bullying and the second to evaluate anxiety (CMAS-R). The results identified five roles of participation in violence and bullying. Differences in the means calculated indicate significant differences among the groups of victims of bullying and victims-bullies in relation to the anxiety variable. The results demonstrate that the group of students exhibiting greater anxiety are the victims-bullies and the victims, and the students exhibiting less anxiety are those not involved in bullying.
