There was a time when bullying was regarded as a relatively
innocuous issue-a normal part of growing up-but this is no longer
the case. The magnitude of the problems that bullying can lead to
is evidenced by the rising amount of professional literature on
bullying, as well as recent cases of bully-linked suicide and
homicide in the popular media. Bullying always involves at least
one bully and one victim, but there are a variety of social roles
that can affect the duration and magnitude of bullying. These roles
include bully assistants or supporters, victim defenders, and
passive bystanders. Fundamental to creating successful intervention
programs to prevent or reduce bullying is basic research that
identifies the characteristics of those involved in bullying
situations (e.g., personality, motivational, intellectual,
physical, social, and behavioural). This volume presents a broad
range of original research describing how social influences are
related to bullying. Reflecting the fact that bullying is a
world-wide phenomenon and problem, the research comes from samples
of individuals from Australia, Finland, Italy, New England, and
Poland, as well as a review of the cyber-bullying literature, which
is international in scope. This book was originally published as a
special issue of Social Influence.
