Resumen

Antecedentes: las actitudes de los adolescentes hacia el bullying están determinadas por la interacción entre las características individuales y diversos contextos de desarrollo, como el familiar. El objetivo de este estudio es realizar un análisis psicosocial de las diferencias reportadas según las actitudes percibidas frente al bullying en indicadores como apoyo y comprensión, castigo y rechazo, así como reprobación paterna. Método: participaron en el estudio 665 estudiantes (50,4% chicas) de 12 a 18 años (M = 14.59; DT = 1.691) del Principado de Asturias (España) que han sido seleccionados mediante un muestreo intencional con submuestreo bietápico aleatorio simple de los grupos escolares. Resultados: se ha hallado una relación positiva entre la percepción de apoyo de los padres y las actitudes de rechazo ante el bullying en las tres dimensiones actitudinales exploradas (cognitiva, afectiva y conductual). A su vez, las percepciones del clima familiar son más negativas en quienes presentan actitudes más favorables. Los adolescentes con actitudes permisivas reportan un mayor uso de violencia física, castigo corporal y violencia psicológica por parte de sus padres. Conclusiones: se apoya la relevancia de las prácticas de socialización familiar en la construcción de las actitudes hacia el bullying
