Is victimization observed in Greek Schools?

Abstract

The main goal of this research is to investigate the various aspects of victimization as a result of the bullying that occurs in Greek schools during late childhood. Inparticular, 272 students aged 10 to 12 from schools in Aitoloakarnania Prefecture (Greece) took part. Mynardand Joseph’s MultidimensionalPeer-VictimizationScale (2000) was used to collect the data. Findings showed that the commonest type of victimization observed in Greek schools is verbal victimization, followed by social manipulation, grabbing/destroying things and physical violence. Furthermore, statistically significant differences between participants’ age and gender were not edregarding the types of victimization. Our findings are argued in reference torelevant findings of the international literature.
