Abstract

Bullying occurs in practically all sectors of society, in all contexts, social settings and local environments, from employment, education and leisure, which justifies its measurement and evaluation. This work aims to validate the structure of the Multimodal Questionnaire for School Interaction (CMIE-IV) in a sample from northern Mexico. A quantitative design was used, with explanatory scopes. The sample consisted of 703 children of basic education from the city of Saltillo, Coahuila, Mexico, belonging to 77 educational institutions. The CMIE-IV was used to collect the data. The reliability of the instrument was .861 and the average correlation was positive with a value of .157. The indicators of goodness of fit of the confirmatory analysis showed adjustment in some of the indices. The data demonstrate stability and consistency for the exploration of harassment behaviors, both from victimization and victimizers.

Keywords:
