“…The analysis performed in this study has demonstrated that the specificity of bullying and harassment may depend on the group of sports branches. Although other studies do not distinguish the influence of sports branch on the likelihood of bullying and harassment among athletes (Evans et al, 2016;Nery et al, 2019;Mishna et al, 2019), this study has revealed that comparing all three sports groups, the highest percentage of athletes who identified themselves as potential victims of bullying and harassment in their team was from team sports. This is significantly more than the results of the other two groups -individual and combat sports -added together.…”

“…Along with distinguished problems related to athlete trauma, doping use, depression, fraud, such serious social problem as negative interpersonal relationships among sports activity participants, manifesting themselves as bullying and harassment, is singled out as well (Stirling et al, 2011;Fisher and Dzikus, 2017). Despite the approach of sports practitioners and the public that bullying in sport should be a taboo (Nery et al, 2020), over the last decade, this phenomenon in sport was increasingly analysed by researchers of various countries (Steinfeldt et al, 2012;Shannon, 2013;Evans et al, 2016;Kerr et al, 2016;Nery et al, 2019;.…”

Purpose: Studies on participation of various social groups in sports reveal not only positive but also negative impact of this activity on the person's health, well-being and future. A particularly serious social problem in sport is the aggressive behaviour of all participants, which can also manifest itself as bullying and cause a number of negative consequences. The aim of the research is to identify the prevalence of bullying and harassment in organized sport in the case of individual, combat, team sports and participant roles. Methodology. A supplemented version of Bullying and harassment in sport questionnaire (BHISQ) was used to conduct the survey. The survey involved 1440 participants of organized sport. Findings: Almost one third of research participants in the team sports identified themselves as victims, which is significantly more than the sum of the results of two remaining groups. Comparing the percentages of victims' and bystanders' confessions, it has been found that bullying in individual sports can be significantly more active; i.e., the number of athletes who have seen bullying is significantly higher than the number of athletes who have named themselves as victims. The highest manifestation of bullying unfolds in team sports, where mostalmost one fifth-of respondents attributed the role of the bully against their team member(s) to themselves, while the percentages of bullies against opponents in combat and team sports are similar. In combat and team sports, unlike in the individual sports, the roles of bullies against opponents, unfolding in bullying actions, are more frequently expressed.

“…Almost 40 percent of athletes stated having participated in bullying episodes as bystanders, and 13.3 percent of athletes named themselves as bullies to their team members. Slightly lower bullying prevalence facts were reported by the study conducted in Portugal with 1458 male adolescent athletes from different sports (Nery et al, 2018). This study found that about 10% of athletes had reported having been victimized; 11% had participated in bullying episodes as bullies; and 35%, as bystanders.…”

Purpose: The article presents the specificity of bullying in organized sport with regard to sport participants' gender and age variables. Trends in bullying manifestation through such constituents as antisocial behaviour and aggression in sport, bullying actions in sport, previous experiences and memories of bullying, lack of bullying control are analysed. Methodology: The survey was conducted employing Bullying and Harassment in Sport Questionnaire (BHISQ). A sample of 382 youth amateur athletes (adolescents and young adults), involved in different sports, participated in this study. Written and online surveys and statistical data analysis were chosen. Analyses were made applying Mann-Whitney U test to gender analyses and Kruskal-Wallis H test to three age groups. Findings: Athletes men are more aggressive physically, verbally or non-verbally than women. Men, not only as a bullies, but also in the role of a victim, are more expressive than women in addition, it has been found that persons who were bullied in the past also apply the same negative behaviour themselves in sport activities later. Athletes' age has a significant influence on the form of bullying as older persons use a more refined arsenal of means of negative behaviour. Although it has been found that male's use bullying more often, it is noted that the environment legitimizing aggressiveness may influence greater openness of men, which should be taken into account in future research.

“…Además de esta escasez, gran parte de estos trabajos se han focalizado en el análisis de su prevalencia, a partir de indagar sobre su caracterización, tipología, frecuencia, causas, consecuencias, etc., junto al estudio de los perfiles de las víctimas, agresores y espectadores. Muestra de ello, sobresalen los recientes estudios de Nery, 2016;Nery;Neto;Rosado;Smith, 2018;Evans et al, 2016, que nos aproximan de manera descriptiva a conocer la dimensión y alcance del problema, pero aportan poca información sobre la complejidad de este.…”

“…De esta forma, los autores afirman que el bullying en el deporte es un fenómeno importante y muy complejo, ya que los deportistas y entrenadores normalizan un comportamiento abusivo que a su vez constituye un modelo social de aprendizaje. Así pues, para entender estas dinámicas y esta complejidad, se hace necesario utilizar metodologías cualitativas y aproximaciones más globales y comprensivas que nos permitan entender y afrontar el problema de forma integral (SHANNON-MCCALLUM, 2013;KERR et al, 2016;FISHER;DZIKUS, 2017), ya que los estudios cualitativos en el contexto del bullying deportivo son escasos (FISHER;DZIKUS, 2017;NERY, et al 2018;SHANNON-MCCALLUM, 2013;COLLOT-D'ESCURY;DUDINK, 2010).…”

Este estudo investiga o bullying no futebol infantil (8-14 anos), dando voz a famílias e treinadores de clubes de diferentes contextos, características e níveis desportivos. Para este fim, são realizados grupos focais para que ambos reflictam sobre os principais factores associados à sua detecção, problemática e prevenção, com base nas suas experiências e vivências pessoais. Os principais resultados mostram que as famílias e treinadores consideram o bullying no futebol infantil como um problema importante e necessário a abordar. Todos concordam que não têm formação suficiente para detectar ou desenvolver estratégias de prevenção e tratamento. Contudo, observa-se também uma certa banalização do problema por parte de alguns dos participantes no estudo. Os resultados permitem identificar os factores que mais preocupam as famílias e os treinadores, com vista a orientar a sua detecção e prevenção com base nos problemas reais abordados.
