Resumen

El objetivo principal del presente estudio fue analizar la interacción de tres rasgos psicopáticos (dureza-emocional, grandiosidad-manipulativa e impul-sividad-irresponsabilidad) en la predicción de conductas de cyberbullying. Participaron 741 adolescentes (51.5% chicas; edad media = 15.33; DT = 1.14). Se midieron los tres rasgos en el tiempo 1 y la perpetración de cyberbullying tanto en tiempo 1 como en el tiempo 2 (un año después). Los resultados mostraron que los rasgos de grandiosidad e impulsividad predecían longitudi-nalmente la aparición de conductas de ciberbullying. Además, el rasgo frialdad emocional predecía dichas conductas cuando los niveles de impulsividad eran altos. La interacción de los rasgos grandiosidad e impulsividad también resultó significativa, de lo que se deduce que la presencia elevada de uno de los rasgos es por sí misma predictora de conductas de cyberbullying. Estos resultados subrayan la importancia de atender estos tres rasgos psicopáticos para una mejor prevención de las conductas de ciberbullying entre adolescentes.
