Abstract

School bullying constitutes a global problem that affects students' socioemotional development. This research aimed to analyze the influence of school bullying on the development of socioemotional competencies in middle school students at an Educational Unit in Babahoyo, Ecuador, during 2024. A quantitative approach was employed, with a non-experimental, cross-sectional, and correlational-causal design. Participants included 106 students from fifth to seventh grade, evaluated through structured Likert-type questionnaires that measured school bullying dimensions (physical, verbal, cybernetic) and socioemotional competencies (self-awareness, self-regulation, social awareness, relational skills, and responsible decision-making). Descriptive results showed low incidence of school bullying (mean = 33,51) and high levels of socioemotional competencies (mean = 107,96). Spearman's correlational analysis revealed a non-significant negative relationship between the main variables (ρ = -0,055; p = 0,577). However, the physical aggression dimension of bullying showed significant correlation with socioemotional competencies (ρ = -0,089; p = 0,015). It is concluded that an inverse trend exists between both variables, suggesting that strengthening socioemotional competencies may contribute to school bullying prevention, especially in its physical manifestations.
