| Sumario: |
The objective of this research was to establish the incidence of casual victimization and compare the psychopathological symptoms present in occasional victims and non-victims. A descriptive correlational cross-sectional study was conducted on a sample of 773 from a private school subsidized primary and secondary education in the city of Calama, of both sexes, between 11 and 18 years. Chi-square analysis and t tests for independent samples were performed. The results showed that occasional peer victimization affects 30% of young people and is stable across different ages evaluated.
It was found that occasional victims exhibit more depressive, anxious and behavioral symptoms, and also have a lower prosocial behavior compared to the group not victimized. The association between victimization and casual psychopathological problems are discussed. |
