Abstract

Contemporary studies among primary school pupils report increasingly
frequent prevalence of violent behaviours, which many behaviour disorders authors
see as a form of aggressive behaviour. The primary objective of this paper is the
behavioural phenomenon of bullying. This paper provides an insight into the theory
of behavioural disorders and their categories, developmental features and models of
primary prevention. The paper also examines aggression as a form of antisocial
behavior and, apart from the theoretical framework on this issue, provides results of a
survey conducted among fifth- and seventh-grade primary school students in Osijek.
In addition to the theoretical and empirical research, the paper offers
recommendations for further research and a designed plan for future prevention
models, because the results show that physical violence is more prevalent among
younger, and verbal and relational violence among older primary school pupils.
