Why are bullying behaviors and events so devastating and tend to be repeated without intervention? Bullies initiate their inappropriate behavior, and victims and bystanders endure bullying because of five fears. Dr. Karl Albrecht classified fear into five types to better understand and manage the fears all humans experience.
Fear Types:
(1) fear of extinction,
(2) fear of body mutilation or invasion,
(3) loss of autonomy,
(4) fear of separation, abandonment, or rejection,
(5) ego-death or fear of humiliation, shame, or worthlessness.
Organizations and individuals can benefit from understanding the fear types so that responses to bullying become conscious and rational decisions with greater control over the extent and scope of bullying, rather than reflexive and cyclic.
