Objective.

To corroborate the psychometric performance, internal consistency and dimensionality, of the Brief Questionnaire for Bullying Detection (BQBD).

Method.

A validation study was designed in which 350 students between 10 and 17 years of age (M = 13.3; SD = 1.8) participated, 53.7% of them female. Internal consistency indicators (Kuder-Richardson, K-R and McDonald’s omega) were calculated for the three sub-scales of the BQBD.

Results.

The sub-scale of perceived intimidation showed K-R of 0.55 and McDonald's omega of 0.58; the sub-scale of emotional symptoms were 0.80 and 0.81, and the sub-scale of perpetrated intimidation were 0.41 and 0.33, respectively. It was impossible to demonstrate the proposed dimensionality.

Conclusion.

Only the sub-scale of emotional symptoms of the BQBD has high internal consistency. More research on the dimensionality of the BQBD is needed to explain its internal structure.
