Resumen

The objective of this work is to verify the incidence and the characteristics of bullying in the 6th grade and 1st year of compulsory secondary education (ESO) students of foreign and Spanish students in the Autonomous Community of Extremadura. 1077 subjects from Extremadura participated, of which 48 were foreigners, and based on the characteristics of this group of foreigners, a sample of Spanish students was selected that was equated with foreign students in academic level and gender. A descriptive quantitative method was used, and the abbreviated questionnaire used by the 2007 Ombudsman was applied. From the total number of Spanish students surveyed, a random sample (n = 48) was selected, matched with foreign students in academic level and gender. Comparative percentages are obtained in the total incidence and type of harassment. In conclusion, there are no relevant differences between the average percentages in the different forms of harassment, from the point of view of the victims, witnesses, and aggressors, the correlation coefficients being very high (between 0.91 and 0.94) in the different forms of harassment. This confirms that the frequencies of the type of harassment between both groups are very similar, so it is concluded that there are personal factors of greater importance than origin or race that contribute to being aggressors or victims.
