| Sumario: | Due to the increasing number of cases of cyberbullying among adolescents, the need for a valid, reliable instrument to assess the prevalence of cyberbullying in Mexican adolescents has become evident. This study aimed to analyze the psychometric properties of the Cyberbullying Test (Garaigordobil, 2013) in a sample of 1155 high school students from five educational establishments in western Mexico; ages ranging from 15 to 19 years old. A confirmatory factor analysis was carried out, which resulted in asatisfactory adjustment to the three-factor model, according to the original instrument, and adequate factor loads. Moreover, the three scales that constitute the instrument showed adequate internal consistency. The results of the study are discussed in the context of contemporary literature on adolescent cyberbullying. |
