The purpose of this study was to compare the perception of severity, empathy with the victim, and disposition of 88 teachers (23 men and 65 women) between 5th and 8th grade from private schools of the Metropolitan Area of Chile to intervene in bullying incidents, according to the type of bullying: physical, verbal and relational A questionnaire developed by Bauman and Del Rio (2006) was adapted, which includes 6 vignettes that describe physical, verbal, and relational bullying events. Descriptive statistics were used to characterize the sample and mixed ANOVA to test the study hypothesis. The degree of seriousness and teacher involvement was significantly less for relational bullying and presented the lowest level of empathy with the victim. These results are similar to the ones found in the studies of Yoon & Kerber (2003) and Bauman & Del Rio (2006).Este estudio tuvo como objetivo comparar la percepción, empatía y disposición a intervenir que 88 profesores (23 hombres y 65 mujeres) de 5º a 8º básico de colegios particulares de la Región Metropolitana tienen en relación al bullying físico, verbal y relacional. Se adaptó a la realidad chilena un cuestionario con 6 viñetas, desarrollado por Bauman y Del Rio (2006), que describen eventos de bullying físico, verbal y relacional. Se usaron estadísticos descriptivos para caracterizar la muestra y ANOVA mixto para contrastar las hipótesis del estudio. Los profesores calificaron al bullying relacional como el menos grave, presentaron una menor empatía hacia la víctima y estaban menos dispuestos a intervenir que en otros tipos de bullying. Estos resultados son similares a los encontrados en investigaciones realizadas por Yoon y Kerber (2003) y Bauman y Del Rio (2006).
