Résumé
Des recherches récentes identifient un lien entre la dépression et l’intimidation. Les jeunes victimes d’intimidation, comme les jeunes intimidateurs, rapportent vivre des symptômes dépressifs. L’état des connaissances concernant la concomitance entre ces deux problématiques est encore très peu avancé, surtout en ce qui concerne les élèves de la fin du secondaire. Cet article présente une analyse critique de 12 études sur la relation entre l’intimidation et la dépression. Les aspects analysés incluent les caractéristiques des échantillons, les mesures utilisées, les variables ciblées et les devis de recherche employés. Dans l’ensemble, les résultats appuient l’existence d’une relation entre l’intimidation et la dépression chez des populations d’enfants et d’adolescents. Cependant, des aspects d’ordre méthodologique limitent la valeur des résultats obtenus dans ces études.
Summary
Recent research identifies the link between depression and intimidation. Young victims of intimidation, as well as young intimidators, express symptoms of depression. The state of knowledge concerning the interaction of these two themes is still little developed, particularly regarding students at the end of the secondary level. This article presents a critical analysis of 12 studies relating to the link between intimidation and depression. The aspects analyzed include the characteristics of the samples, the measures used, the variables targeted, and the research design used. Overall, the results support the existence of a relation between intimidation and depression for populations of children and adolescents. However, aspects related to methodological issues limit the value of the results found in these studies.
Resumen
Unas investigaciones recientes identifican un vínculo entre la depresión y la intimidación. Las jóvenes víctimas de intimidación, así como los jóvenes que intimidan, indican que sufren síntomas depresivos. El estado de los conocimientos acerca de la concomitancia entre estas dos polémicas sigue siendo muy poco avanzado, en particular en lo referente a los alumnos de final de secundaria. Este artículo presenta un análisis crítico de 12 estudios sobre la relación entre la intimidación y la depresión. Los aspectos analizados incluyen las características de las muestras, las mediciones utilizadas, las variables enfocadas y los presupuestos de investigación utilizados. En general, los resultados confirman la existencia de una relación entre la intimidación y la depresión en poblaciones de niños y adolescentes. Sin embargo, algunos aspectos de orden metodológico limitan el valor de los resultados conseguidos en estos estudios.
