WBI Online Surveys of Bullied Targets

Because survey respondents, targets and witnesses, were “self-selected” by visiting a website with “workplace bullying” in its name. The surveys are not “scientific.” We know from our longer-form online surveys that 97% of respondents self-identify as workplace bullied individuals. Thus, we can confidently extrapolate the results to, and describe, the world of bullied targets accurately. Targets are our empirical guide to their perspective in the surveys. (To extrapolate to the society of all adult Americans, we instead rely on our national surveys with their representative samples provided by our pollster.)
