Abstract

The purpose of the article is to describe main factors of cyber-bullying compared to traditional bullying. The features of it are intention to harm, power imbalance, repeated actions, and all participants’ demographics. The method used in the study is Buss-Durkee Hostility Inventory (BDHI). As Buss-Durkee questionnaire should be used in conjunction with other techniques, we used Acceptance of Others Scale, designed to diagnose the level of acceptance of other people, especially among children and adolescents. Both questionnaires were adapted for different ages, so the results show different demographics and attitudes. According to the results of the study it was easy to recommend coping strategies to overcome bullying and its after-effects. The need for coping strategies appears in crisis situations and is designed to reduce psychological stress and anxiety, the intensity of which is due to two circumstances - the subjective factor and the actual situation.
