Abstract: This study studies the relationship between the socio-emotional skills of high school students and
bullying and cyberbullying. 15,500 young people participated (41.90% women and 58.10% men,
Medad = 15.88, SD = 0.9) from the preparatory schools of the Autonomous University of the State of
Mexico. The participants answered a battery of four instruments: sociodemographic data (sex, age,
sexual orientation and ethnic-cultural group), a Socioemotional competencies scale, a Bullying scale
and a Cyberbullying scale. The results show that there are differences in socio-emotional competencies
by gender, an ethnic-cultural minority group and sexual orientation. Aggression and cyber victimization
are placed with low reference weights to socio-emotional competencies. These results suggest that a
high development of social and emotional competencies is a protective factor in adolescents who
participate in dynamics of bullying and cyberbullying. This study has implications for educational
policies and supports proposals to design and implement a program that contributes to optimizing the
development of social and emotional competencies in students to have an impact on coping with
problems related to these antisocial behaviors, which favor coexistence and inclusive education.
