Cross-cultural comparisons of bullying among university students : perspectives from Argentina, Estonia, Finland and the United States
Abstract
The chapter compares bullying experiences among university students between four countries
and aims to provide an understanding of the cultural features which might affect these
experiences. We start by providing a summary of the results from a cross-cultural survey
conducted among undergraduate students in Argentina, Estonia, Finland and the United
States. We continue discussing the ways in which the current cultural, political, historical and
economic status and challenges in each country might explain the cross-cultural differences
and similarities detected in students’ bullying experiences in higher education.
