ALVAREZ QUIROZ, Glenis Bibiana et al. Relationship between Bullying, Cyberbullying and Self-esteem: Prevalence and Associated Factors in Colombian Adolescents. Zona prox. [online]. 2023, n.38, pp.88-109.  Epub 13-Jul-2023. ISSN 2145-9444.  https://doi.org/10.14482/zp.38.329.137.

The objective of this study is to analyze the relationship between Bullying, Cyberbullying, and self-esteem in adolescents from three Colombian cities: Montería, Villavicencio, and Barranca-bermeja. The study is quantitative, descriptive-correlational. 460 students were evaluated using the Cyberbullying: Peer Bullying Screening test and the Rosenberg self-esteem test. Results show that adolescents in all three cities with normal self-esteem do not have cybervictimization problems, while those with low self-esteem do, and those with medium self-esteem are at risk of cybervictimization. Among the conclusions, we find that 31.08% of adolescents have or are at risk of having problems related to Bullying and cyberbullying. Cyberbullying on social networking sites (for example, Instagram Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, instant messaging) goes beyond the limits of time and space. Studies have shown that the participation of adolescents in violence is due to several factors, including adolescence itself, substance abuse, family conflicts and violence, exposure to violence and situations of violence or marital conflict, which can induce violent behaviors in teenagers. The already known relationship between Bullying, Cyberbullying, and self-esteem is confirmed, therefore, it is suggested that intervention programs that target victimization by harassment take into account characteristics of self-esteem, both the victims' and the aggressor's.
