Aim of this article is to examine parameters and types of Machiavellian behavior among students in selected departments. Social network analysis, bivariate analysis and principal component analysis have been implemented. A total sample of 27 students of Business Administration dept. (Thessaly University of Applied Sciences), 63 students of Veterinary dept. and 57 students of Physical Education dept. (University of Thessaly) has been analyzed. Selected results: Male students tend to regard more students as Machiavellians. Female students seem to be more willing to harm others. Male ones are more willing to exploit weaknesses. Tall or heavy students are regarded as quite Machiavellians. Students of urban origin or rich enough seem to adopt a relatively innocent view. Using internet is regarded as an evidence of Machiavellianism. To select friends by appreciating their knowledge capacity is considered to be unrelated to Machiavellianism. Two types of students who are targeted for Machiavellian practices are demarcated: a) "full target" and b) "beneficial target". Two types of Machiavellian students appear: a) "full Machiavellian" and b) "ruthless". A mixed typology of victims and Machiavellians reveals: a) a "targeting and targeted" type, b) a "full target", c) a "beneficial target" and d) a "ruthless". In general, the Machiavellianism seems to be either a generalized strategy or a quite specific one.
Los objetivos de este estudio son detectar combinaciones de acciones maquiavélicas y de bullying (acoso escolar) y señalar sus determinantes. Se ha recopilado una muestra de cinco redes de estudiantes de los departamentos de Educación Superior en el centro de Grecia (Administración de Empresas, Veterinaria y Educación Física & Ciencias del Deporte) (245 nodos). Se han utilizado cuestionarios estandarizados. Se ha implementado análisis de redes sociales, Spearman y PCA. El departamento de Educación Física exhibe un bullying más denso y acciones maquiavelicas. Los estudiantes que tratan de obtener información beneficiosa de sus colegas son susceptibles de dañar a otros. El engaño a menudo es más susceptible de ocurrir en condiciones de controlabilidad. Burlarse aparece junto con causar infelicidad. Las víctimas de bullying en la infancia son susceptibles de ser acosadas como estudiantes. Los estudiantes de alto estado económico parecen evitar practicar el bullying. Se propusieron tipos de comportamientos maquiavélicos y de acoso escolar basados en el grado de salida (“Maquiavélico ofendido”, “Despiadado”, “Casi bullying”), la autoridad (“Maquiavélico enojado”, “Maquiavélico acosador”, “Agente de problemas oculto”) y el marcador de nivel funcional (“Sólo Ofendido Maquiavélico”, “Molesto”, “Amateur/ auto-buscador”).
The aim consists in presenting determinants and types of verbal aggressiveness, bullying and Machiavellian behaviour among Physical Education students. Twelve network samples were collected from four Greek departments (538 students). Network questionnaires were used. Visone software was used for calculating network variables (in/outdegree, Katz, pagerank, authority). Spearman and PCA have been implemented for relating non-network variables with network ones. Results: Travelling abroad for athletic reasons, surfing internet for studies and being inspired from others’ behaviours trigger disruptive behaviours. Mothers’ education level, economic state, surfing internet for entertainment encourage victimization. Students who have experienced these detrimental behaviours as victims or victimizers during school years continue to experience destructive behaviours during academic years showing that such negative behaviours are adopted.Keywords: Verbal Aggressiveness; Bullying; Machiavellianism; Social Network Analysis; University students ResumenEl objetivo consiste en presentar los determinantes y tipos de agresión verbal, intimidación y comportamiento maquiavélico entre los estudiantes de Educación Física. Se recogieron doce muestras de red de cuatro departamentos griegos (538 estudiantes). Se utilizaron cuestionarios de red. El software de Visone se utilizó para calcular las variables de red (entrada / salida, Katz, pagerank, autoridad). Spearman y PCA se han implementado para relacionar variables que no son de red con las de red. Resultados: viajar al extranjero por razones deportivas, navegar por Internet para estudiar e inspirarse en los comportamientos de comportamiento disruptivo de los demás. El nivel de educación de las madres, el estado económico, navegar por Internet para entretenerse fomentan la victimización. Los estudiantes que han experimentado estos comportamientos perjudiciales como víctimas o victimarios durante los años escolares continúan experimentando comportamientos destructivos durante los años académicos, lo que demuestra que se adoptan tales comportamientos negativos.Palabras clave: agresividad verbal; Intimidación Maquiavelismo; Análisis de redes sociales; Estudiantes universitarios
