MARTINEZ-VILCHIS, Rocío; MORALES REYNOSO, Tania e POZAS RIVERA, Jesús. Effects of an Emotional Competence Program on Cyberbullying Prevention in High School. Pensam. psicol. [online]. 2018, vol.16, n.1, pp.33-44. ISSN 1657-8961.
Objective. To assess the impact of an emotional competence program on cyberbullying scores in high school students. Method. The study conducted was quasi-experimental, with a pretest-posttest and a control group and was applied to 82 Mexican high school students; the CBQ was applied in pretest and posttest, a Likert scale with factors of victimization, perpetration and justification about the realization of cyberbullying; the intervention was an emotional competence program. The data analysis was performed with SPSS using non-parametric tests (Wilcoxon signed-rank and Mann-Whitney U) and calculating the effect size with r of Rosenthal. Results. The pretest confirmed initial statistical equality; the posttest detected significant differences (p < 0.05) and medium effect size on victimization (p = 0.003, r = 0.33 [Cohen's d = 0.7]), and justification (p = 0.002, r = 0.35 [Cohen's d = 0.7]); the intragroup comparison indicated differences (p < 0.05) between both groups and a medium effect size; the control showed increase in victimization, (p = 0.014, r = 0.27 [Cohen's d = 0.6]), and the experimental showed decreased victimization (p = 0.046, r = 0.22 [Cohen's d = 0.5]). Conclusion. The emotional competence program produced a significant, positive impact and a medium effect size on the cyberbullying scores in high school students and showed efficacy in the prevention.
