Abstract:
This pilot study investigates the effectiveness of a school judo program as an alternative intervention model for bullying prevention. Conducted with 61 schoolchildren aged 10 to 13, the study employed psychological tests and a structured judo curriculum to assess changes in anxiety levels, bullying roles, and psychological traits. Results revealed a significant reduction in situational anxiety and a trend towards decreased personal anxiety among participants. Additionally, a significant decrease in direct and indirect victimization was observed, although no substantial changes were noted in bullying behaviors themselves. Improvements in self-assessment levels of trust, self-awareness, emotion regulation, confidence, and communication skills were also reported. These findings suggest that integrating judo into school programs may enhance psychological resilience and contribute to a safer school environment. However, further research is needed to explore the long-term effects and additional strategies for addressing bullying behaviors directly.
