| Summary: | The research goal - to analyse manifestations of single cases of harassment and bullying in
students' inter-relationship and to compare them in aspects of socio-demographic variables.
623 students studying at Lithuanian higher education institutions were questioned. We
determined a dependence of harassment and bullying on respondents' age: they were
experienced more often by 18-30 year-old students, whereas older students' complaints
were less. Older students more often requested for active policy of higher education
institutions in preventing negative relations. Women showed more initiative in seeking for
help, unlike men, experience of negative relations of which was higher in the past.
Harassment and bullying were more experienced by the students studying at higher
education colleges, unlike those studying at universities. The research results are significant
in striving for better perception of impact of harassment and bullying at higher education
institutions on demographic variables and negative inter-personal relationship experienced
at school age. This knowledge is necessary for higher education institutions preparing and
developing a prevention of harassment and bullying. |
