The aim of this work is twofold, (a) to validate the Spanish version of the Adolescent Relationship Scales Questionnaire (ARSQ) and (b) to examine associations between attachment and peer bullying (victimization). A total of 600 adolescents (aged 13-16 years) completed the ARSQ and the CAI-CA (a Spanish questionnaire of bullying victimization). Exploratory factor analyses of the ARSQ yield a structure of three uncorrelated factors which appear to correspond to the secure, fearful/preoccupied, and evading kinds of attachment, respectively. Girls scored higher than boys on secure and fearful/preoccupied attachment. Thirty-four percent of the sample reported to have been victim of peer bullying. A hierarchical logistic regression analysis indicated that, after controlling for age and gender, fearful/preoccupied attachment significantly predicted the risk of being a victim of bullying. Results are discussed in respect of possible implications for the primary prevention of bullying.
El objetivo del presente trabajo es doble: (a) validar la versión española del Adolescent Relationship Scales Questionnaire (ARSQ), y (b) examinar la asociación entre el apego y el acoso entre iguales (victimización). Un total de 600 adolescentes (entre 13 y 16 años de edad) completó el ARSQ y el CAI-CA (Cuestionario de Acoso entre Iguales—Conductas de Acoso). A través de análisis factoriales exploratorios del ARSQ obtuvimos una estructura de tres factores no correlacionados, los cuales correspondían a las formas de apego seguro, miedoso/preocupado y evitativo, respectivamente. Las chicas puntuaron más alto que los chicos en apego seguro y miedoso/preocupado. El 34% de la muestra informó haber sido víctima de acoso entre iguales. El análisis de regresión logística jerárquica indicó que, tras controlar el efecto de la edad y el género, el apego miedoso/preocupado predecía el riesgo de ser víctima de acoso por los compañeros. Se discuten los resultados en relación con posibles implicaciones sobre la prevención primaria del bullying.
