Abstract
This article addresses the issue of bullying in the adolescent environment. Based on published works on this issue, the research goal was defined the following way — to identify the relationship between adolescents’ sociometric statuses and their positions in bullying. The sample included 86 students from the 6th and 9th grades. Three methods were used as diagnostic tools: the BussDurky Hostility Inventory (BDHI), J. Moreno’s Sociometry Method, and E. G. Norkina’s method for identifying the “Bullying Structure”. As a result of the empirical research, correlations were established between adolescents’ sociometric statuses and their positions in bullying. Significant correlations were found between adolescents’ positions in bullying and the types of aggression. In the course of comparative analysis, significant differences were found among adolescents occupying different positions in bullying in terms of expressed types of aggression. The differences were identified between boys and girls in the distribution of roles in bullying: boys more often take on the role of a “defender,” while girls are more likely to be “observers.”
