Retrospective approach to school bullying victimization effects on psychological well-being in the half term

The present study was conducted to explore the relationship between victimisation during secondary school and aspects of current psychosocial functioning in university students. One hundred and sixty-one university students from Talavera de la Reina answered a self report questionnaire on retrospective bullying experiences and psychosocial functioning (self-concept, social support and perceived stress) during their school time. Results show that their recall of bullying experiences is consistent with other epidemiological data gathered in Spain. In addition, those who suffered more frequently from bullying scored lower on self-concept and social support, but not higher on perceived stress.
