Abstract

SILVA, Jorge Luiz da et al. Help provided to students reporting to be victims of bullying. Estud. psicol. (Natal) [online]. 2017, vol.22, n.3, pp. 325-335. ISSN 1413-294X.  http://dx.doi.org/10.22491/1678-4669.20170033.

The objective of this cross-sectional study was to verify whether victims of bullying report when they are attacked and if the type of aggression is related to the help they receive. A total of 232 students from the 6th to the 9th grade answered a self-applied questionnaire. The results indicate a percentage of victims of the 22.2%. Most of the boys did not tell anyone about aggressions, while most girls told their teachers. Verbal aggression was associated with not telling anyone, while psychological aggression was associated with telling parents. Not doing anything was the response most frequently observed among the boys, while the girls received help in most instances when they reported the problem to someone. Verbal aggression was associated with talking to/advising the victim. There is a need to establish effective interventions to cope with reports of bullying.
