الفروق في مظاهر التوافق النفسي لدى عينة من الأطفال المتنمرين بمرحلة الطفولة المبكرة و أقرانهم بمرحلة الطفولة الوسطى بمحافظة رفحاء بالمملكة العربية السعودية

Abstract EN

This study aims to investigate the differences in aspects of self, family, and social adjustment in a sample of bullying children of early childhood between 3-6 years and their peers in the middle childhood between 6-9 years.

The study uses the descriptive approach.

The School Bullying Scale (by the researcher) and Psychological Adjustment scale (by Abdel Maqsoud, & Abdel Maqsoud, 2013) have been used as the study tools.

The Study sample data obtained from an early-childhood group of 20 and a middle-childhood group of 21 was selected as a study sample.

Results indicate that there are statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the two groups on the self-adjustment test in favor of the early childhood group and there are no statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the two groups on the family adjustment test.

Further, the results show that there are statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the two groups on the social adjustment test in favor of the early childhood group and there are statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the two groups on the total scores of the psychological adjustment scale in favor of the early childhood group.

The study recommends the need to provide specialized programs to deal with the school bullying from early childhood.
