Variables de personalidad asociadas con los distintos roles del ciberbullying

Abstract

El objetivo de este estudio es ver si existe una relación entre los distintos roles de ciberbullying (agresor, víctima y observador) y la personalidad, además de comprobar si existe relación entre las prioridades y la personalidad. Este estudio se llevó a cabo en dos institutos de Barcelona con una muestra de 100 personas de entre 16 y 18 años. Para esta investigación se usaron tres instrumentos: el test Cyberbullying. Screening de acoso entre iguales, para identificar los roles de ciberbullying; el Ten-Item-Personality Inventory in Spanish (TIPI), para conocer la personalidad de los participantes; y “La carta más alta”, una técnica proyectiva basada en la Psicología Adleriana para identificar las prioridades de la personalidad. Las víctimas y los observadores eran más emocionalmente inestables que las personas que no eran víctimas ni observadores, además se comprobó que los agresores eran menos responsables y menos afables que los que no eran agresores. Por último, se vio que, con cuantos más roles se identificaba una persona más emocionalmente inestable era, y menos afable.

The goal of this study is to see if it exists a relationship among different roles of cyberbullying (aggressor, victim and observer) and their personality traits. Besides, another goal is to check if there is a relation between priorities and personality traits. This study has been carried out in two high schools in Barcelona with a sample of a 100 people between 16 and 18 years old. In order to do this research, it was used three instruments: The Cyberbullying test. Screening of harassment between equals, with the goal to identify the roles of cyberbullying; the Ten-Item-Personality Inventory in Spanish (TIPI), to know the participants’ personality; and “The highest car”, a projective technique based on the Adlerian Psychology to identify the priorities of the personality. The victims and the observers were more emotionally unstable than people which where not victims or observers. Moreover, we could test that the aggressors were less responsable and less affable than the people who were not aggressors. Last but not least, we saw that when a person identifies with more roles more emotionally unstable was, and also less affable.
