Sažetak

Previous studies that dealt with the issue of bullying did not clearly emphasize the difference between peer violence and bullying. In this study, bullying was measured by taking into account the imbalance of power between perpetrators and victims as well as the perpetrators’ intention of committing violent behavior. The aim of this study was to examine the incidence of bullying and current preventive measures taken to prevent it in Osijek schools. The study included 496 students from fifth to eighth grade from four primary schools (40.3% boys). The age range was from 10 to 15 years (M=12.49, SD=1.81). Students completed the Bullying questionnaire (UVZ; Velki, 2015). The results showed that the bullying behavior included 37.1% of the victims, 15.9% of bullies/victims, 3.2% of bullies, while 43.8% of children were not involved in bullying. The most common form was verbal bullying, while sexual abuse had the lowest level of representation. 10% of students reported that in their schools and classes bullying happened more often than in others. The given results are alarming because they show an increase of bullying in comparison to previous researches. Of the overall tested students, nearly 70% have participated in some program of prevention of bullying, mostly it was an UNICEF program, and internal school programs, while students in the programs most frequently participated in workshops and by attending lectures. Students stated that introduced program helped reduce bullying to a lesser extent (38.9%). Although schools are trying to implement different prevention programs, it is clear that their effectiveness is still rather questionable.
