“…Institutionalized centers for the elderly have become one of the most demanded alternatives (Huenchuan et al, 2021;Molero & Pérez-Fuentes, 2011;Ruiz-Esteban et al, 2023). This has occurred due to family and social changes such as the incorporation of women into the labor market, the reduced number of family members, their geographic dispersion, and the slow incorporation of the role of male caregivers (Gallo et al, 2013;Pérez Díaz et al, 2022).…”

“…There are mainly three types of bullying in older people (Bonifas, 2016): verbal bullying, which refers to the use of derogatory words such as insults or threats; relational or antisocial bullying, which includes behaviors that attempt to limit social connections; and physical bullying, which includes behaviors that involve physical contact with the victim or his or her belongings. More recently, a fourth type has appeared, cyberbullying or cyber harassment, which consists of the use of technologies and means of communication such as e-mail, social networks, or cell phones to intimidate psychologically (Jeffries et al, 2018;Ruiz-Esteban et al, 2023).…”

Institutionalized centers have become one of the most demanded alternatives as a home in which to spend the last stage of life due to the resources and services they offer. Traditionally, bullying among peers has been confined to the school environment; however, it is increasingly being shown that this phenomenon also occurs in other contexts. In this sense, several investigations have focused their attention on the phenomenon of bullying among older people. That said, the aim of this study was to compare bullying problems among users belonging to institutionalized centers with students in a classroom for the elderly. Participants were N = 80 elderly people (M = 73.23 years; SD = 11.18) with 63.7% being female. The Bullying Questionnaire adapted to Spanish was administered together with an ad hoc questionnaire to collect the sociodemographic characteristics in both groups. The results show a higher incidence of bullying in institutionalized centers, with social and verbal bullying being more common than physical bullying and cyberbullying. The conclusions revolve around the need to create bullying prevention and intervention programs among the elderly in community settings to improve their quality of life and promote active aging.
