Definición y tipos de intimidación

Bullying is a pattern of behavior which involves an imbalance of social, physical or other power. It is directed repeatedly towards specific and general targets or subjects. Bullying can be defined in many different ways depending on its context.

The subject of bullying includes "the appalling silence of the good people".[1] When witnesses know what to do—and they do it, the action becomes part of a process which defuses a bad situation.[2]

Bullying is not only violence against the bullied person. It's also bullying when other people hide it from those in power (teachers, bosses), other people who see it ignore it or when the bully is helped get away with it.

School teachers and staff have tried to learn ways to stop bullying even when they do not see it themselves. They have learned that bullying can be easy to hide.

Some US states have laws against it.

What happens[change]

Bullying can happen at school, work, at home, on the internet or somewhere else.

A purpose is part of what makes bullying what it is. The process of bullying develops in many ways, including

• intimidating tactics[3]

• steamroller tactics[4]

• devaluing tactics[5]

• arm-twisting tactics[6]

Bullying may be a combination of one or more of these tactics. For example, Lance Armstrong explained "Yes, I was a bully. I was a bully in the sense that I tried to control the narrative and if I didn't like what someone said I turned on them." In other words, when someone said something Armstrong didn't like, "We ran over her, we bullied her."[4]

Bullying behaviour include the misuse of power or position and making comments or threats about job security.[7]

Bullying also includes moving the goalposts by setting objectives which subtly change and cannot be defined or explained in ways that can be reached.[7]
