We also intend to explore associations between verbal bullying and individual characteristics, considering that previous research have shown that individual features are more strongly correlated with bullying.
Usually, the relationships between work characteristics, bullying, and stress find evidence in stress or psychological literature, whereas the relationships between work characteristics and MSDs are predominantly found within the medical, ergonomic, and epidemiological fields [ 24].
Besides family SES, school neighbourhood SES might also predict bullying behaviour because characteristics of school neighbourhoods, e.g. crime rates, social support and control, and common norms and values, are likely to influence children's behaviour [ 30, 31].
Young adolescents who are involved in bullying may have characteristics that make them more vulnerable for mental health problems, i.e. those aggressive toward others could initially have more externalizing problems and those being bullied could have more introvert, non-assertive behavior.
Confounders like sociodemographic characteristics, bullying, class climate and leisure time behaviour were also assessed at baseline; stable traits like characteristics of personality and general parenting style will be assessed post-test, due to feasibility (especially length of questionnaire and time needed for completion).
Characteristics: The bully humiliates and is abusive in order to get the result they desire. .
It's always been a tactic for a bully to assume the characteristics (however unbelievably) of the bullied.
Research on bullying mostly focuses on characteristics of children at the moment they already are involved in bullying.
The thematic distribution of the questions is mainly focused on measuring verbal bullying and more attention has been paid to identify characteristics of a bully rather than a victim [ 9].
This chapter addresses the multidimensional self-concepts and other personality characteristics of bullies and victims.
