Determinantes do bullying entre estudantes do 6º ano em escolas públicas de Recife : uma análise por regressão logística

Abstract

This research aims to understand the profile and identify the determinants of bullying among 6th grade students in public schools in the city of Recife. The methodology employed in the descriptive research consists of logistic regression and probit model. The data used are derived from a survey conducted by the Joaquim Nabuco Foundation in 2013. The estimated results suggest that students' demographic characteristics, family context, and school environment may influence the likelihood of a student being bullied. The research suggests the feasibility of adopting preventive measures to avoid and reduce the effects associated with this type of violence. This aspect has been highlighted in the legal context, with recent years marked by the introduction of important regulations to address this issue.
