Abstract
Abstract
The aim consists in presenting determinants and types of verbal aggressiveness, bullying and Machiavellian behaviour among Physical Education students. Twelve network samples were collected from four Greek departments (538 students). Network questionnaires were used. Visone software was used for calculating network variables (in/outdegree, Katz, pagerank, authority). Spearman and PCA have been implemented for relating non-network variables with network ones. Results: Travelling abroad for athletic reasons, surfing internet for studies and being inspired from others’ behaviours trigger disruptive behaviours. Mothers’ education level, economic state, surfing internet for entertainment encourage victimization. Students who have experienced these detrimental behaviours as victims or victimizers during school years continue to experience destructive behaviours during academic years showing that such negative behaviours are adopted.
Keywords: Verbal Aggressiveness; Bullying; Machiavellianism; Social Network Analysis; University students
Resumen
El objetivo consiste en presentar los determinantes y tipos de agresión verbal, intimidación y comportamiento maquiavélico entre los estudiantes de Educación Física. Se recogieron doce muestras de red de cuatro departamentos griegos (538 estudiantes). Se utilizaron cuestionarios de red. El software de Visone se utilizó para calcular las variables de red (entrada / salida, Katz, pagerank, autoridad). Spearman y PCA se han implementado para relacionar variables que no son de red con las de red. Resultados: viajar al extranjero por razones deportivas, navegar por Internet para estudiar e inspirarse en los comportamientos de comportamiento disruptivo de los demás. El nivel de educación de las madres, el estado económico, navegar por Internet para entretenerse fomentan la victimización. Los estudiantes que han experimentado estos comportamientos perjudiciales como víctimas o victimarios durante los años escolares continúan experimentando comportamientos destructivos durante los años académicos, lo que demuestra que se adoptan tales comportamientos negativos.
Palabras clave: agresividad verbal; Intimidación Maquiavelismo; Análisis de redes sociales; Estudiantes universitarios
