These surveys were conducted from November 1, 2002 through March 7, 2003.

With the recent attention being paid to workplace bullying, we thought we'd ask our visitors a bit more about this issue.

In one poll we asked whether people had been bullied, or had observed someone else being bullied. The results show that bullying is not a minor issue.

I have been a victim of workplace bullying Percent Yes 40.4% No 59.6% Sample Size 418

I have observed someone else being bullied in the workplace Percent Yes 58.8% No 41.2% Sample Size 417

In a follow-up poll, asked about the sex of the people bullied. Females were slightly more likely than males to have been bullied. The difference was not statistically significant.

So now we know about the sex of the bullies. What is the sex of those who are doing the bullying? We followed up and here is what we found.

Sex of the Bullies	Percent
Male	47.9%
Female	51.2%
Sample Size	1033

These differences also are not significantly significant.
