Clima ético institucional, acoso y salud mental: evidencia en estudiantes universitarios brasileños
Resumen
Este estudio examinó si el clima ético institucional y sus dimensiones predicen una reducción en la victimización por acoso y ciberacoso, y si estos afectan el bienestar, la ansiedad y la depresión del alumnado. Participaron 413 estudiantes (edad media = 24.50, DE = 8.94) de una universidad pública del sur de Brasil. El análisis de ecuaciones estructurales reveló que tres dimensiones del clima predijeron la victimización por acoso: percepción de seguridad y aceptación de la diversidad (efectos negativos) e indicadores de violencia (efecto positivo). Ninguna dimensión predijo la victimización por ciberacoso. La victimización por acoso se asoció moderadamente con mayor ansiedad y depresión, y menor bienestar. El ciberacoso tuvo efectos moderados y contradictorios: positivos sobre el bienestar y negativos sobre ansiedad y depresión. El clima ético se destaca como factor protector frente a la violencia. Los datos refuerzan la necesidad de políticas que promuevan entornos seguros, inclusivos y diversos.
