Abstract
In this study, we hypothesized that physical and psychological abuse is only one component of bullying; other components are peer rejection and loneliness. As second hypothesis proposed was that bullying is mainly focused towards teens having higher level of positive perfectionism. Others objectives were: to determine the incidence of harassment in the sample and find gender differences. Participants were 167 schoolchildren (12-16 years; males = 46%). Self-report questionnaires were applied. The results confirm the hypothesis that adolescents with greater feelings of loneliness and rejected by their peers are more probable to suffer abuse. The second hypothesis was partially confirmed: the boys harassed are not perfectionists that none harassed, while this relationship occurs in girls who do have a higher positive perfectionism. No gender differences appear in the frequency of harassment. In this population confirmed that 5.4 percent of adolescents perceived harassment in a relatively high degree.
