David Álvarez García is a Professor at the University of Oviedo's Department of Psychology, specializing in Developmental and Educational Psychology. His research focuses on school violence, cyberbullying, and adolescent development. He has authored over 68 journal articles and directed six doctoral theses. His work emphasizes the psychometric validation of scales (e.g., Cyberbullying Test, Bystander Responses Scale) and interventions to improve school coexistence. Notable contributions include studies on cyber-victimization correlates, bystander behavior in bullying, and the impact of anxiety/self-esteem in preadolescents.

His research integrates quantitative and qualitative methods, addressing issues like cyber-aggression predictors, classroom-level cybervictimization effects, and teacher safety in educational settings.

He advocates for evidence-based strategies to combat bullying and promote inclusive educational environments.
