Esta investigación exploró las propiedades psicométricas del Cuestionario Revisado de Agresores/Víctimas de Olweus para adolescentes en español. Se constituyó una muestra intencional de 824 y 1756 adolescentes de la Argentina. Los participantes respondieron al Cuestionario Revisado de Agresores/Víctimas de Olweus, así como a cuestionarios que miden nominaciones de pares, cyberbullying y problemas emocionales y externalizantes. Un análisis factorial exploratorio, como confirmatorio, indicó dos dimensiones bifactoriales relacionadas: una subescala de victimización y otra de agresión; las alfas de Cronbach para ambas subescalas eran adecuadas. Se observó validez convergente de las dos subescalas con los problemas emocionales y externalizantes, como validez de criterio con las nominaciones de pares y confiabilidad test/re-test. Por lo tanto, los resultados de la presente investi...

The purpose of this study was to explore the psychometric properties of the Revised Olweus Bully/Victim Questionnaire for adolescents in Spanish. A convenience sample of 824 and 1756 high school students in Argentina completed the Revised Olweus Bully/Victim Questionnaire, as well as questionnaires measuring peer nominations, cyberbullying, and internalizing and externalizing problems. Exploratory and confirmatory factorial analysis indicated two related dimensions: one related to being bullied and another related to being and aggressor. Cronbach’s Alphas were good. Regarding validity, both subscales suggested construct validity (significant associations with internalizing and externalizing problems) and criterion validity (associations with peer nomination). Also, test re-test reliability was detected. Therefore, results suggest that the Olweus questionnaire has good psychometri...

Background: Trolling is a very topical phenomenon, but much less studied unlike other problems related to new technologies. The present study evaluated the levels of trolling in adults from sadism and internet addiction. Method: For this purpose, an intentional sample of 708 adults of both genders (56% women, age M = 25 years SD = 8.7), from the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires (CABA) and Greater Buenos Aires (GBA), Argentina is selected. Participants answered the Trolling Questionnaire by Buckels et al., On Sadistic Tendencies by Paulhus et al., On Internet Addiction by Lam-Figueroa et al. and a demographic questionnaire. The data indicated that both vicarious sadism, outright sadism, and dysfunctionality in Internet use were predictors of trolling. Results: The results suggested an association of trolling with age and differences according to gender. A structural model to predict trolli...
