This document presents a report on the proceedings of a conference called to examine the problem of bullying of pupils in the age group 6-16 years old in schools in Europe, with the hope that the presentations and discussions would stimulate further awareness and interest and lead to the initiation of further research into the subject within Europe. The report is divided into three sections. The first section discusses the incidence of bullying in Norway, the United Kingdom, and Ireland. The second section discusses personal and background characteristics of both bullies and victims. Characteristics associated with bullies are identified, including parents' use of power-assertive disciplinary techniques, parents' marital problems, and children's temperament and popularity. Characteristics associated with victims are identified, including smaller size than peers, lack of social skills likely to mitigate bullying, passivity, and ineffectiveness, although "provocative" victims did not share these characteristics. The third section on approaches to prevention and treatment includes discussions of strengthening the relationship between teacher and family, fostering an advantageous classroom group relationship, and treatment of the bullying situation. The appendices include the conference program, a list of participants, and outlines of papers on management strategies and disruptive behavior. (ABL)
