    Antecedentes: el bullying es un problema de salud pública mundial. Sin embargo, muy pocos estudios describieron la prevalencia, las similitudes y las diferencias entre las víctimas cara a cara, cibervíctimas y estudiantes que han sido victimizados de ambas maneras. Este estudio se ha llevado a cabo para describir estos diferentes patrones de victimización y la gravedad de victimización, la inteligencia emocional y el uso de las tecnologías en diferentes tipos de víctimas. Método: en este estudio participaron 2.193 estudiantes de 22 escuelas, seleccionadas aleatoriamente de todas las provincias de Andalucía, España. Se recogió información sobre bullying, cyberbullying, uso de redes sociales e inteligencia emocional percibida. Resultados: la victimización cara a cara es el tipo más común de victimización seguida de victimización mixta. Cibervictimización sola es poco común. Las víctimas mixtas muestran puntuación más alta en la gravedad de la victimización cara a cara y una mayor atención emocional que las víctimas cara a cara. Conclusiones: la mayoría de las cibervíctimas son también víctimas cara a cara. Un enfoque holístico centrado en diferentes problemas a la vez parece necesario para erradicar estos problemas.

    Background: Bullying and cyberbullying are global public health problems. However, very few studies described prevalence, similarities and differences among face-to-face victims, cybervictims and students who are victimised through both bullying and cyberbullying. This study was conducted to describe these different patterns of victimisation and severity of victimisation, emotional intelligence and technology use in different types of victims. Method: A total number of 2,139 secondary school students from 22 schools, randomly selected from all provinces of Andalusia, Spain, participated in this study. Information about bullying, cyberbullying, social networking sites use and perceived emotional intelligence was collected. Results: Face-to-face victimisation only is the most common type of victimisation followed by mixed victimisation. Cybervictimisation only is rare. Mixed victims score higher in severity of bullying and present higher emotional attention than face-to-face victims. Conclusions: Most victims of cyberbullying are also face-to-face victims. Holistic approach that focuses on different problems at the same time seems to be needed to tackle these behaviours.
