ABSTRACT

Bullying is a constantly growing phenomenon encountered in most countries and at different educational levels. Over the last decade, several research studies have been conducted and published, relevant to bullying and victimization in the Greek schools. The focus of this research attempt is to investigate the profile of the perpetrators and the victims involved. For Greek females, the perpetrators were approximately equal numbers of student and school personnel. Cyberbullying seems to be mounting as well, as it has received serious research attention by academics, national authorities, and European Commission funded programs. The present study examines some of the variables related to bullying and cyberbullying in higher education, including personality, emotional well-being, self-esteem and their relationship to students' remembered parenting. The present study aimed to explore the prevalence of both traditional bullying and cyberbullying in the Greek university context. In conclusion, this exploratory study confirmed the existence of both traditional forms of bullying and cyberbullying among Greek university students.
