Popis: Traditionally, the study of bullying has focused on the roles of aggressor and victim. However, in recent years the overlap between them has gained importance. This is because those who exercise both roles are those who suffer the most serious consequences. In this way, this document aims to analyse this problem in a sample of 120 participants (66 men and 54 women), aged between 10 and 12 years (M = 11.18, SD = .449). To measure school bullying, the UPF-4 scale is used in two conditions: victim and aggressor. Descriptive analysis of frequencies is carried out; distinguishing by roles and types of harassment; and the overlap is studied through contingency tables. The results obtained shows relatively low rates of victimization for the harassment exercised (4.17%) and received (8.33%), as well as for the overlap (4.17%). By typologies, the highest prevalence corresponds to relational harassment, while the least frequent is physical harassment. Regarding the overlap between the role of victim and the role of aggressor, its existence is confirmed for psychological harassment, relational harassment and exclusion. Taking into account the limitations, the results obtained in relation to prevention in intervention are discussed.
