Abstract |
This article presents the findings of a survey on bullying in Switzerland, carried out by means of phone interviews in a sample of 3220 employed persons. Among all persons interviewed, 7.6% met the scientific criteria for bullying and 4% reported being victims of bullying, although there was only a partial overlap between the two groups. Other findings concerning the effects on health, the age, sex and nationality of the victims, the prevalence by sector of activity and the perpetrators of bullying are commented. Finally, the article proposes some possible preventive measures. |
