“…Despite similar overall patterns between bullying roles, variations in gender differences have been found between European and Indian samples; that is, girls' higher rates of defending compared to boys were more pronounced in Europe and hardly present in India, whilst higher victimisation rates of boys were more pronounced in India. Further, it was found that bullying and victimisation rates were higher in India compared to Germany and it is argued that this may be due to differences in social inequality (Goossens et al, 2018; see also socio-economic stratification as an explanation for country differences below).…”

This study provides a systematic review of literature from India on traditional bullying and victimization among school-going adolescents. A search of bibliographic electronic databases PsycINFO, MEDLINE, ERIC, Web of Science, and PubMed was performed in May 2020. Thirty-seven studies were included in the review. For each study included, the following specifics were examined: (a) methodological characteristics, (b) prevalence estimates of bullying behavior, (c) forms of bullying, (d) risk factors, and (e) consequences of bullying. It was found that bullying happens in India, and some risk factors for bullying and victimization in India are typical to the Indian context. In addition, bullying in India is associated with adverse consequences for both the aggressor and the victim. Many studies on bullying from India should be interpreted cautiously because of problems with data collection processes, instrumentation, and presentation of the findings. Cross-cultural comparisons for prevalence estimates, and longitudinal studies to examine the direction of possible influence between bullying and its correlates need to be conducted, to cater to the large adolescent population of India.
