In this paper, we analyze the results of an assessment of the current situation of gender violence in different scenarios, in Sonora, Mexico, based on data from the National Survey on the Dynamics of Household Relation-ships (2006). Violence more frequently reported by women was that of community. Mobbing and bullying occur in smaller proportions. The results suggest the need of expanding areas of analysis in Endireh to enhance its ability to identify violence in different settings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper is a pilot study based on a sample of Costa Rican students who are between sixth and eighth grade; this study seeks to measure aggressive behavior in this population. Generally we observe this behavior outside the school context; however, this situation is an increasingly frequent reality in our classrooms, a situation that is becoming a concern which demands our attention. The data in our sample indicates percentages of aggressive behavior in this group that can be compared to the European standard measure, a situation that should be focused on by the people in charge of this population's discipline and guidance.
