Цель. Статья посвящена рассмотрению буллинга через его субъективное восприятие и переживание подростками с учетом их половозрастных особенностей.Методы исследования: эмпирические – блок авторских методик, относящихся, главным образом, к проективным методам (анкета, незаконченные предложения, список понятий для цвето-­ассоциативного эксперимента, семантический дифференциал), что позволило снять эффект социальной желательности и получить оригинальный эмпирический материал; и математико-статистические (частотный и сравнительный анализ).Результаты: Сравнительный анализ данных выявил действенное отношение к буллингу в среднем подростковом возрасте (противостояние агрессору) и более пассивное – в младшем и старшем подростковом возрасте. При этом младшие подростки рассчитывают на помощь взрослых, не имея собственных эффективных моделей поведения в ситуации буллинга, а старшие – склонны воспринимать насилие как неотъемлемую часть жизни. Мальчики-подростки при описании чаще выделяют физическую форму буллинга, а девочки – психологическую. В ситуации буллинга девочки чаще рассчитывают на помощь взрослых, оставаясь пассивными из-за страха перед агрессором, в отличие от мальчиков, которые готовы защищать жертву.Purpose.

Boys-teenagers note more often physical bullying, but girls – psychological bullying. In the bullying situation girls count on adult help, remaining passive for fear of bully, unlike boys, who are ready to protect the victim
