abstract="OBJECTIVE: This study developed and examined the psychometric properties of a newly formed measure designed to assess professor/instructor bullying, as well as teacher bullying occurring prior to college. Additionally, prevalence of instructor bullying and characteristics related to victims of instructor bullying were examined. PARTICIPANTS: Participants were 337 college students recruited in 2012 from a northeastern university. <br><br>METHODS: An online questionnaire was administered to college students. A split-half, cross-validation approach was employed for measurement development. <br><br>RESULTS: The measure demonstrated strong criterion validity and internal consistency. Approximately half of students reported witnessing professor/instructor bullying and 18% reported being bullied by a professor/instructor. Report of teacher bullying occurring prior to college was related to professor/instructor bullying in college, and sex was a moderating variable. <br><br>CONCLUSION: College students perceive instructor bullying as occurring but may not know how to properly address it. Prevention efforts should be made by university administrators, faculty and staff.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
