Summary
Workplace mobbing affects 14% of workers, with prevalence and characteristics similar to international studies. This research validates the Spanish version of the Negative Acts Questionnaire-Revised (NAQ-R) for assessing workplace bullying.
Area of Science:
- Occupational Health Psychology
- Social Psychology
Context:
- Workplace mobbing, or bullying, is a significant issue impacting employee well-being.
- Understanding its prevalence and characteristics is crucial for intervention strategies.
Purpose:
- To analyze the prevalence and characteristics of workplace mobbing in a diverse occupational sample.
- To provide psychometric support for the Spanish version of the Negative Acts Questionnaire-Revised (NAQ-R).
Summary:
- A study of 2861 workers utilized the NAQ-R and a sociodemographic questionnaire.
- Results indicate 14% of participants experienced mobbing behaviors in the past six months.
- Identified mobbing characteristics align with existing national and international research.
Impact:
- Validates the Spanish NAQ-R as a reliable tool for assessing workplace bullying.
- Provides data on mobbing prevalence and characteristics to inform prevention and intervention efforts.
- Contributes to a better understanding of workplace aggression across diverse sectors.

Bullying
A modern form of aggression is bullying. As you learn in your study of child development, socializing and playing with other children is beneficial for children’s psychological development. However, as you may have experienced as a child, not all play behavior has positive outcomes. Some children are aggressive and want to play roughly. Other children are selfish and do not want to share toys. One form of negative social interactions among children that has become a national concern is bullying.
Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination
Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974). These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different. Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010). Prejudice is common against people who are...
Data Collection by Observations
Data collection refers to a systematic way of obtaining, observing, measuring, and analyzing accurate information. Observational studies are one of the most widely used methods of data collection. It involves collecting data by observing the behavior and physical characteristics of a sample without making any modifications to the sample.

Observational Studies
Observational studies are a type of analytical study where researchers observe events without any interventions. In other words, the researcher does not influence the response variable or the experiment's outcome.
There are three types of observational studies – Prospective, retrospective, and cross-sectional.
Prospective Study
Prospective studies, also known as longitudinal or cohort studies, are carried out by collecting future data from groups sharing similar characteristics. One example of...

Obedience
According to obedience research, we may harm others under the forceful pressures of an authority figure (Milgram, 1974). How about if the inappropriate orders were delivered with less force? The increasing interdependence between nurses and physicians compelled Hofling and his colleagues to explore nurses’ reactions to a potentially harmful medical request made by the perceived authority figure, the doctor (Hofling, Brotzman, Dalrymple, Graves, & Pierce, 1966). In this situation, obedience...
Bias in Epidemiological Studies
Biases can arise at various stages of research, from study design and data collection to analysis and interpretation. Recognizing and addressing these biases is essential to ensure the validity and reliability of epidemiological findings.Broadly speaking, biases in epidemiology fall into three main categories: selection bias, information bias, and confounding. A more detailed description of possible biases is:
