Abstract

for their support and guidance throughout this project. I would also like to acknowledge the students, teachers, and youth group coordinators who made this research possible.

Conexiones entre la victimización en el acoso escolar y la satisfacción-frustración de las necesidades psicológicas básicas de los adolescentes

“…Despite there is no published research on the dichotomy satisfaction-frustration of the basic psychological needs and bullying in Secondary students, research from authors like Hein et al (2015), point a positively and significant correlation between the frustration of the basic psychological needs and harassment in a similar population. That result supports widely the findings described in the present study.…”

“…It has been analysed from different points of view, although one of the most studied one is the double profile: aggression vs victimization (Magaz, Chorot, Santed, Valiente, & Sandín, 2016). Bullying as aggression is described as the situation where an individual exercises continuous negative conducts on another individual, while victimization deals with the opposite situation: a person experiences persistent negative behaviours by one or several partners (Bondu et al, 2016;Harbin, Kelley, Piscitello, & Walker, 2019). León-Moreno, Martínez-Ferrer, Musitu, and Moreno (2019) analyse the relationship between school violence and victimization, considering the motivation for revenge, avoidance and benevolence in a sample of 671 adolescents between 10 and 16 years.…”

“…In addition, those who were victims had significantly lower levels of autonomy and competence. On the other hand, Hein, Koka, and Hagger (2015) study the relationship between the frustration of basic psychological needs, anger, bullying and the teacher's controlling behaviour in secondary school students. They find that students' perception of this type of behaviour is indirectly related to anger and bullying through the frustration of the basic psychological needs.…”

“…This could be the first study that analyses this connection in high school students. Based on previous research that indicates: (a) A positive and significant correlation between the frustration of basic psychological needs and bullying (Hein et al, 2015); (b) That the frustration of these needs is associated with negative behaviours such as depression or anxiety (Mehdipour, Gholamali, & Hejazi, 2016), variables closely linked to victimization behaviours (Forbes, Fitzpatrick, Magson, & Rapee, 2019); and (c) that victimized individuals suffer a deterioration of their basic psychological needs (Harbin et al, 2019), the main objective of this research is to analyse the predictive power of victimization on the satisfaction-frustration dichotomy of the psychological needs of autonomy, relationship and competence in three different curricular subjects of Secondary Education: Mathematics, Spanish Language and Literature and Physical Education. Taking the above as a reference, the following hypothesis is proposed (H1): victimization predicts negatively the satisfaction of the three basic psychological needs and positively their frustration.…”

Çok boyutlu zorbalık mağduriyeti ölçeğinin Türkçeye uyarlanması: Geçerlik ve güvenirlik çalışması

“…In this study, it was aimed to adapt to Turkish language and culture the Multidimensional Bullying Victimization Scale, which is a comprehensive and up-to-date scale that includes relational, physical, cultural, and cyber victimization types of bullying, and which was developed by Harbin et al (2018). Confirmatory factor analysis, language validity, criterion connection validity, internal consistency reliability, and test-retest reliability methods were used in the analysis of the data.…”
