Abstract
In the present study, 160 undergraduate students in a teacher education program
responded to two questionnaires describing their attitudes, confidence, and definitions of bullying. Respondents rated physical bullying as the most serious and cyber bullying as the least serious of the four types. Females perceived bullying as more serious and reported less confidence in their ability to intervene effectively in bullying situations as compared to males. They all endorsed that their education had not prepared them to meet
the challenge of bullying. Results were compared with those of practicing teachers in a previous study. Implications for teachers and counsellors are discussed.
