This study investigated the psychometric properties of the Cyberbullying Assessment Scale (CAS) among high school students and examines differences and relationships in scale scores, considering the profiles of victim, aggressor, and retaliator, as well as demographic variables. Participants were 529 students (Mean age=17.03; SD=3.32) from the states of São Paulo, Mato Grosso do Sul and Paraná, from different school years, with the majority being female. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results confirmed the proposed model, with fit and reliability indices considered satisfactory. Students identified themselves more as victims of cyberbullying. Statistically significant correlations and predictive relationships between factors were found. Results are discussed considering the literature. It is hoped that the instrument can contribute to the implementation of pedagogical practices consistent with preventing this serious problem, with the possibility for its use in future research on this theme.

Palabras clave : cyberbullying; high school; prevention.
