La educación emocional y el acoso escolar en estudiantes de primer año de Educación General Básica

Abstract

Abstract: Social-emotional skills such as empathy, social skills, and emotional self-regulation are essential tools for preventing and eradicating bullying. Developing these skills at an early age lays the foundation for creating a culture of peace. This research seeks to structure psychoeducational strategies based on the development of social-emotional skills to prevent bullying among first-year students in general basic education. A non-experimental design was implemented, adopting a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional and descriptive correlational scope. Data were collected through a literature review and the application of the Emotional Regulation Checklist. The results of the research showed that 55.77% of students were at moderate risk of bullying, 5.77% were at high risk, and only 38.46% were at low risk. The study concluded that there are risk factors for the development of bullying behaviors, making it necessary to consider social-emotional strategies as a preventive method.
