abstract="<i>Background</i>: The aim of the study was to compare the level of self-confidence in dealing with problems at school, the attitude towards bullying situations and the recommended strategies to cope with bullying in two samples of pre-service teachers (PSTs). The PSTs were in training to become teachers with special education needs students (SEN) and came from two different countries (Italy and Greece). <i>Methods</i>: A questionnaire survey was made involving 110 Italian and 84 Greek PSTs. <i>Results</i>: The results about self-confidence showed that Greek PSTs had lower outcome expectations and a higher external locus of causality than Italian PSTs. Teachers' training programs and school preventive intervention were also discussed. <i>Conclusions</i>: Because the participants in this investigation will be teachers in the near future, they require specific training on bullying in general and in students with SEN in particular.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
