Relación entre las prácticas educativas parentales y la participación de los hijos en acoso escolar

Abstract

The aim of this study is to explore the relationship between parental educational practices and the involvement of children in bullying situations. For this purpose, perceived parenting practices and the role played in bullying situations were evaluated (classified as involved or not involved) in 249 primary school pupils (116 boys and 133 girls) aged between 10 and 12 years. For this purpose, the Spanish version of the Alabama Parenting Questionnaire (APQ) (Escribano et al., 2013) and the Bull-S Test (Cerezo, 2012) were used. The results show differences in the perception of parental practices and their effect on children's involvement in bullying. Our study concludes that parental educational practices characterized by high parental involvement, positive reinforcement of desired behaviors, supervision, and consistent discipline are protective factors against bullying.El objetivo de este estudio es explorar la relación entre las prácticas educativas parentales y la implicación de los hijos en situaciones de acoso escolar. Con ese propósito se evaluó, en un total de 249 alumnos de educación primaria (116 chicos y 133 chicas) con edades comprendidas entre 10 y 12 años, las prácticas educativas parentales percibidas y el rol ejercido en situaciones de acoso escolar (clasificándolos en implicado o no implicado); empleando para ello la versión española del Alabama Parenting Questionnaire (APQ) de Escribano et al. ( 2013) y el Test Bull-S (Cerezo, 2012) respectivamente. Los resultados evidencian diferencias en la percepción de las prácticas parentales en función de la participación de los hijos en bullying. Nuestro estudio concluye que las prácticas educativas parentales caracterizadas por una elevada implicación paterna o materna, el refuerzo positivo de los comportamientos deseados, la supervisión y el uso de una disciplina consistente, constituirán un factor protector del acoso escolar.

Academic Performance and Family Characteristics of Adolescents with Violent Behaviour or Victimised by their Peers in the School Environment

“…We know that parental educational practices characterised by high involvement, positive reinforcement, supervision and the use of consistent discipline will be a protective factor against bullying (Gómez-Medina et al, 2022). These data highlight that intervention proposals should take into consideration the training and education of families in appropriate socialisation styles, away from authoritarianism and neglect, which help children to respect certain limits and self-regulate.…”
