Problem: The most familiar and widely cited (4900 times) definition of bullying comes from Dan Olweus, originally proposed in the 1970s and reiterated in the now classic book "Bullying in School" (1993). He defines bullying as: "A student is being bullied or victimized when he or she is exposed, repeatedly and over time, to negative actions on the part of one or more other students." He then further clarifies the components of this definition: "It is a negative action when someone intentionally inflicts injury or discomfort upon another, basically what is implied in the definition of aggressive behavior. Negative actions can be carried out by physical contact, by words, or in other ways, such as making faces or mean gestures, and intentional exclusion from a group. In order to use the term bullying, there should also be an imbalance in strength (an asymmetric power relationship): the student who is exposed to the negative actions has difficulty defending him-/herself and is somewhat helpless against the student or students who harass. In my definition, the phenomenon of bullying is thus characterized by the following criteria: it is aggressive behavior or intentional 'harm doing,' which is carried out repeatedly and over time in an interpersonal relationship characterized by an imbalance of power" (Olweus, 1993, pp. 8-9; italics ours).
