Bullying and Performance. The Role of School Climate

This study aims to investigate the relationships among bullying, school climate, and academic performance in students. The first objective is to identify the differences in bullying according to students’ gender. The second objective is to analyse the predictive role of bullying and school climate on academic performance, providing insights into the complex dynamics within educational environments. The participants were 395 students aged between nine and 19 years, M = 13.14, SD = 2.56, 196 boys (50%) and 199 girls (50%). Findings from this study have important implications for educators, policymakers, and school administrators. By understanding the relationship among bullying, school climate, and academic performance, schools can develop targeted interventions aimed at fostering a positive school climate that minimizes bullying and promotes academic success for all students.
