“…People with a weak SOC are indeed expected to possess poorer coping abilities and a less resistant personality (Nel et al, 2004), which would lead them to be particularly prone to become targets of workplace bulling when they perceive adverse psychosocial working conditions. In this study we found that having a lower SOC was connected per se to a higher probability of reporting both work-related and person-related bullying, which aligns with studies observing that personal dimensions play a significant role in the occurrence of workplace bullying (Bowling et al, 2010;Zapf and Einarsen, 2011). However, the fact that SOC did not exert a practically relevant moderating effect suggests that perceiving a poor psychosocial work environment A c c e p t e d M a n u s c r i p t 24 (according to the JDC model) may relate to being a target of workplace bullying irrespective of inter-individual differences, at least in terms of SOC.…”

“…Coyne et al, 2000;Glasø et al, 2007). However, inconsistent results have been obtained in other studies about the role played by personality traits such as extraversion, conscientiousness and openness for experience in the probability of being exposed to workplace bullying (see Zapf and Einarsen, 2011 for a review).…”

A c c e p t e d M a n u s c r i p t 2 ABSTRACT There is scarce research on the interaction between psychosocial working conditions and being a target of workplace bullying with individual characteristics as a moderator. We therefore examined 3363 employees from 60 Danish workplaces to test whether sense of coherence moderates the relationship between the job demand-control model and bullying. This work is exploratory in nature, as no previous study to assess this moderation was found. Hierarchical linear regressions showed that demand-control model was significantly associated with bullying.Sense of coherence displayed a significant, though practically negligible moderating effect. This suggests that negative psychosocial working conditions are associated with bullying independently of personal characteristics, at least in terms of sense of coherence.

“…Alternatively or additionally, social anxiety-both fear of negative evaluation and proclivity toward social avoidance-may genuinely be associated with unfair treatment at the hands of others that legitimately evokes mistrust. Indeed, the experience of peer victimization has been linked to social anxiety in youths (Storch et al, 2003) and adults (Zapf et al, 2011).…”

Recent evidence suggests that normal-range paranoid ideation may be particularly likely to arise in individuals disposed to both social anxiety and perceptual anomalies. This study was designed to test the hypothesis that among college students in an unselected sample, social anxiety and experience of perceptual anomalies would not only each independently predict the experience of self-reported paranoid ideation, but would also interact to predict paranoid patterns of thought. A diverse sample of 644 students completed a large battery of self-report measures, as well as the five-factor Paranoia/Suspiciousness Questionnaire (PSQ). We conducted hierarchical multiple regression analyses predicting scores on each PSQ factor from responses on measures of social anxiety, perceptual aberration, and the interaction between the two constructs.Current general negative affect was covaried in all analyses. We found that both social anxiety and perceptual aberrations, along with negative affect, predicted multiple dimensions of paranoia as measured by the PSQ; the two constructs did not, however, interact significantly to predict any dimensions. Our findings suggest that perceptual aberration and anxiety may contribute to normal-range paranoid ideation in an additive rather than an interactive manner.

“…However, age, sexuality, ethnic origin, or a handicap have been found to be motives for bullying in the context of higher education (Ringrose & Renold, 2010). Typical individual factors which often serve as causes of bullying include protection of one's self-worth, envy, narcissistic personality disorder, aggression, lack of social skills and weak emotional control (Zapf & Einarsen, 2010).…”

Students' suggestions for how to eliminate bullying at universities were gathered as part of an e-questionnaire sent to each university student (N = 10,551) at a Finnish university. The suggestions (n = 2804) regarding how to address bullying at universities were divided into the following four classes: support (944), punishment (78), support and punishment (65), and no suggestions (1717). Further analysis concerning support revealed the following five categories according to Houses ' (1981) classification: instrumental/material support (n = 265), informational support (n = 263), emotional support (n = 139), and appraisal support (n = 69). In addition, there were 208 inexact suggestions regarding how to stop bullying. Analysis concerning resources for help revealed the following five categories: Finnish Students Health Service/student association/police/university priest (120), university teachers (49), other students/peer support (41) and administration (36). In this classification, there were 698 inexact suggestions. This is a sign of the difficulty in addressing bullying situations.
