This study aims to investigate the associations between bullying and moral disengagement in a Brazilian sample, using a mixed method design. Two-thousand three hundred and thirty-four adolescents (11-19 years; 42.9% girls) answered self-report measures on bullying and moral disengagement in response to bullying situations. Fifty-five participants were randomly selected and interviewed on their experiences on bullying at school. Results allowed to identify specific mechanisms of moral disengagement associated with bullying behavior among Brazilian adolescents. Qualitative analysis highlighted how moral disengagement mechanisms were spontaneously used by the adolescents to explain both the bullying and the bystander behaviors. Findings support the relevance of moral disengagement mechanisms in explaining bullying behaviors. The value of addressing these mechanisms when designing anti-bullying interventions is discussed.
本研究旨在采用混合方法设计,调查巴西样本中欺凌行为与道德推脱之间的关联。2334名青少年(11 - 19岁;42.9%为女孩)回答了关于欺凌行为及面对欺凌情境时道德推脱的自我报告测量问卷。随机选取55名参与者,就他们在学校的欺凌经历进行访谈。研究结果有助于识别巴西青少年中与欺凌行为相关的道德推脱的具体机制。定性分析突出了青少年如何自发地运用道德推脱机制来解释欺凌行为和旁观者行为。研究结果支持了道德推脱机制在解释欺凌行为方面的相关性。文中还讨论了在设计反欺凌干预措施时应对这些机制的价值。
