Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: The study examines the prevalence of bullying, bullying behaviors within different roles (aggressor, victim, defender, bystander) in the context of spirituality and loneliness in selected Slovak adolescents. The study also aims to examine the protective/risk significance of spirituality and loneliness in adolescents in the context of bullying. The results of the research have shown the prevalence of bullying in schools. It was found that 20,8% of adolescents had been victims of bullying, 3,8% being aggressors, 50,6% in the role of defenders and 39% as bystanders in the bullying process. Within each role group, victims of bullying showed significant differences in experiencing spirituality compared to adolescents who had not taken part in the bullying process. The differences were significant in terms of the importance and practice of spirituality in their lives. There were also significant differences in experiencing loneliness, confirmed in multiple role groups.
