Document Summary
Some studies have investigated whether men and women engage in bullying behaviour to the same extent. These studies indicate that men do so to a slightly higher degree than women. When it comes to forms of bullying, women more often appear to reply on social manipulation, Ex) strategies affecting communication, social relationships, and social reputation, whereas men seem to prefer negative acts which may on the surface appear to be rational, being primarily directed at the work of victims. Women were more likely than men to label their negative experiences as bullying. Similarly, found that women rated many negative acts as more severe than men did. This was particularly true for items related to emotional abuse, social isolation and professional discrediting. Lee (2000): workplace bullying of women and men was informed by judgments of appropriate gender conduct and pressure to conform to such norms.
