Abstract: the presence of the terms «bullying» and «mobbing», which denote special forms of psychological and physical violence that are similar in their methods of aggression, often leads to the fact that in the scientific and methodological literature related to pedagogy and psychology, these concepts are confused and considered synonymous. This may cause misunderstanding and confusion among readers. At the same time, the differing goals of the subjects of bullying and mobbing violence may require different approaches to overcoming and preventing these destructive phenomena. Sometimes scientists try to draw a clear and unambiguous demarcation of the boundary between these terms. But at the same time, the authors' arguments regarding the differences between mobbing and bullying do not seem convincing enough. Based on the analysis of scientific and methodological literature, this article attempts to eliminate contradictions in approaches to the problem of differentiation between bullying and mobbing. The author's definitions of these terms are given.
