This article addresses Systems Theory as it applies to school-age children's bullying behavior.
The results of this study suggest whole-school bullying intervention programmes need to occur before students reach secondary school.
The study of bullying behavior and its consequences for young people depends on valid and reliable measurement of bullying victimization and perpetration.
This study advances bullying research by extending the role of moral disengagement in bullying episodes beyond pure bullies to victims, both pure victims and bully/victims
To prevent persistent victimization, schools and teachers need to be better equipped to respond effectively when a student first becomes a target of bullying
The lack of skills in managing future bullying and particularly cyberbullying incidents reported by pre-service teachers has social and emotional implications for young people
Aussie Optimism Program with teacher training along with coaching may have the potential to positively impact on suicidality and pro-social behavior in the pre-adolescent years
These results highlight the importance of working with both male and female caregivers when addressing children’s bullying behaviour.
Previous studies have shown that when young people witness bullying, perceived social norms of their peer group affect their behavior. However, few studies have examined the specificity of norm misperception (i.e., overestimation of peer antisocial responses and the underestimation of prosocial responses relative to the objective group norm) on specific witness responses (joining in, bystanding or active defending).
The school environment profoundly influences children's development, behaviours, and attitudes. This chapter delves into the relationship between school design and architecture, and their impact on bullying, victimisation, inclusivity, and student well-being. Research underscores the significant impact of school design on student social dynamics, advocating for collaborative efforts among stakeholders to craft effective anti-bullying policies.
