Abstract	Introduction: Research on bullying, and on its protective or risk factors in the school environment, continues to be an important area both for investigation and for educational practice. Certain personal and contextual characteristics have been considered key to preventing school violence. Method: The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between victimization and aggression roles and how certain variables in the students' direct context impact these two psychological processes. For this purpose, we surveyed 1278 students (47.7% girls) from southern Spain (Andalusia), ages 10 to 14 years (M = 11.11; SD = 0.754). Results: Linear regression analyses showed the explanatory power of protective factors such as social adjustment or adjustment to norms, on perception of victimization and unjustified aggression. Individual factors such as gender, and personal factors like self-esteem, give rise to differences in one's perceived involvement in either role. Discussion and conclusions: This article focuses on the role of factors in the immediate context. (As Provided).
