Bullying is a specific type of school violence, that occurs when a perpetrator or a group of perpetrators repeatedly attack a relatively helpless victim. This type of violence involves not only bullies and their victims, but also bystanders - other students who witness the process of bullying. Bullies{\textquoteright} behavior is planned and aimed at building social status in the group, and the suffering of the victims is not their main goal. Bystanders play a major role in the process, as their approval or disapproval can either encourage or discourage the bully. Behaviour of bystanders is analysed, with the use of a modifi ed structurally embedded coordination game, in order to show how the structure of the group can infl uence the process of bullying. }, issn = {1733-0092}, doi = {10.7206/DEC.1733-0092.12} }
