Bullying is a phenomenon that has sparked social and educational interest as well as a precise definition to identify its components. The use of autoinforms and heteroinforms is the main assessment procedure, although others exist. Reports of maltreatment in virtual spaces make it necessary to explore those sceneries so as to measure its idiosyncrasies, the emotional impact they cause, and the values they jeopardize. The assessment must take into consideration the weight of the components that interact in the individual and group dynamics, which give rise to, maintain and/or change or eliminate harassment behaviors. We have demanded change in order to improve the intervention. The effectiveness of bullying assessment consists not only of the external or contextual explanation of how and when it takes place, but also of the identification of the roots on which it is based and is motivated by. Therefore, we will not miss the educational object of the intervention.
