Abstract:
The social, cultural and economic processes of contemporary society are impacted by Information
and Communication Technologies (ICTs), but also by the intimate aspects of people. These impacts
are generating a culture of the virtual, of cyberspace, of a cyberculture to which adolescents are
integrated and at the same time generate lifestyles in which technology is part of their daily lives,
because through it ways of thinking, of being, of getting excited and of behaving are transmitted.
These digital realities help to reaffirm perceptions, behaviours and attitudes of one's own identity,
which sometimes lead to symbolic violence or aggressive environments (Serrano, 2014).
Cyberbullying is currently considered a serious threat to the development, well-being and mental
health of adolescents (Zych, Ortega and Marin-Lopez, 2016). This research presents the results of the
application of the E-motions questionnaire that describes the social and emotional competencies of
young men and women in high school and its correlation with the different roles of cyberbullying,
carried out on 15,500 students from nine campuses of the preparatory school of the Autonomous
University of the State of Mexico.
