Sažetak
The aim of the research was to compare the prevalence of peer violence in relation to bullying as a phenomenon that involves more distinctive definition criteria (power and intention) although both phenomena use the same descriptions of behavior. The prevalence of physical, verbal and electronic peer violence has been compared with the same types of bullying, over a period of 5 years. The possibility predicting violence in relation to bullying has also been compared with the same predictors that were consistent in predicting violence in previous studies (age, gender, previous victimization, emotional competence, number of friends, peer acceptance, school success and school climate). The study included fifth to eighth grade elementary school students. In the first wave of data collection, there were 880 participants (48% boys), with an average age of M = 12.81 (SD = 1.151), who self-evaluated peer violence. In the second wave, there were 496 students (42.9% boys), with an average age of M = 12.49 (SD = 1.181), who self-evaluated
bullying. The results have shown an increase in the prevalence of bullying in relation to the prevalence of violence, particularly in terms of victims and bully/victims of electronic bullying. The selected predictors better explain bullying than peer violence. The results are discussed in
the context of increasing bullying issues and conducting preventive measures.
