Bullying02:04

Bullying

A modern form of aggression is bullying. As you learn in your study of child development, socializing and playing with other children is beneficial for children’s psychological development. However, as you may have experienced as a child, not all play behavior has positive outcomes. Some children are aggressive and want to play roughly. Other children are selfish and do not want to share toys. One form of negative social interactions among children that has become a national concern is bullying.
Bystander Effect02:09

Bystander Effect

The discussion of bullying highlights the problem of witnesses not intervening to help a victim. This is a common occurrence, as the following well-publicized event demonstrates. In 1964, in Queens, New York, a 19-year-old woman named Kitty Genovese was attacked by a person with a knife near the back entrance to her apartment building and again in the hallway inside her apartment building. When the attack occurred, she screamed for help numerous times and eventually died from her stab wounds.
Conduct Disorder01:28

Conduct Disorder

Conduct disorder is a complex mental health diagnosis characterized by a repetitive and persistent pattern of behavior that violates societal norms, the rights of others, or age-appropriate rules. The diagnostic criteria for conduct disorder require the presence of at least three problematic behaviors within the past 12 months, with at least one occurring in the past six months. These behaviors are grouped into four categories: aggression toward people and animals; destruction of property;...
Survey Safety01:28

Survey Safety

Surveying near highways, rough terrain, or power lines involves significant risks. Working along highways is particularly dangerous and requires the use of warning signs and flagmen. It is safest to avoid working directly on roads and use offsets whenever possible. When highway work is unavoidable, it must follow all safety guidelines. Surveyors should wear bright clothing, such as orange reflective vests, to ensure visibility to motorists, coworkers, and hunters. In construction zones, wearing...
The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison02:57

The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison

According to Charles Cooley, we base our image on what we think other people see (Cooley 1902). We imagine how we must appear to others, then react to this speculation. We don certain clothes, prepare our hair in a particular manner, wear makeup, use cologne, and the like—all with the notion that our presentation of ourselves is going to affect how others perceive us. We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...
Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination02:55

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974). These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different. Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010). Prejudice is common against people who are...

Area of Science:

  • Educational Psychology
  • Adolescent Health
  • School Safety

Background:

  • Bullying is a prevalent issue in educational settings.
  • Student well-being and academic success are interconnected.
  • Understanding the impact of bullying on students is crucial for intervention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the association between student involvement in bullying and various school-related problems.
  • To investigate the relationship between bullying, academic achievement, and psychosocial distress.
  • To explore the perception of carrying guns to school among students involved in bullying.

Main Methods:

  • Cross-sectional study involving 5391 students across grades 7, 9, and 11.
  • Assessed bullying involvement (victim, bully, bully-victim, bystander).
  • Measured secondary outcomes: attendance, GPA, psychosocial distress, and attitudes towards carrying guns.

Main Results:

  • 26% of students reported involvement in bullying.
  • Bullying involvement correlated with increased feelings of unsafety and sadness.
  • Victims and bully-victims showed lower self-worth and belonging; higher GPAs were associated with lower odds of victimization.
  • Bully-victims were more accepting of carrying guns to school.

Conclusions:

  • Student involvement in bullying is significantly associated with negative academic and psychological outcomes.
  • The school environment is intrinsically linked to student mental health and academic success.
  • Findings underscore the need for comprehensive strategies to address bullying and promote a positive school climate.
