THE ROLE POSITIONS OF THE PARTICIPANTS IN THE BULLYING

Abstract

The formation of psychological comfort, psychological health, and a psychologically safe environment for individuals and the younger generation, not only at the state level, but also in the global space, is becoming humanity's primary problem. Terrorism, bullying, cyberbullying, aggressive behavior, and mobbing are all gaining traction in today's society among teenagers. Bullying and cyberbullying are especially common among teenagers, according to current statistics. Bullying in schools was addressed in America 40-50 years ago, and in Scandinavian countries since the 1970s and 1980s. Because of the advancement of digital technologies, the issue of cyberbullying has become more prevalent.

Bullying is defined as psychological pressure, negative influence, intimidation of others, and physical or psychological terror on the part of an individual or group. Bowling is introduced to children with poor health, low social status, obvious physical abnormalities (cleft lip or sensorineural hearing loss, some phenotypic features, etc.), according to the researchers.

Bullying is considered aggressive behavior. Bullying causes harm to a person's health, honor, and dignity, lowers self-esteem, and fills the mind with fear.

Bullying participants take on various roles, both conscious and unconscious. As a result, the article focuses on determining the role position of bullying participants. Throughout the study, a psychological portrait of bullying participants was compiled based on the works of foreign and domestic researchers from far and near abroad, and the structure of bullying was revealed (bullers, followers, victims, supporters, passive supporters, defenders, caring defenders, potential defenders). During the study, the role position of the bullying participants was differentiated based on an empirical study using E.G. Norkin's "Bullying structure" method. They are as follows: manager, assistant, victim, defender, and observer.

Based on the study's findings, recommendations for preventing bullying among adolescents were made in the article.
