Bullying

8.3K
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...

Bystander Effect02:09

Bystander Effect

9.5K
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.

Group Design02:01

Group Design

8.9K
The most basic experimental design involves two groups: the experimental group and the control group. The two groups are designed to be the same except for one difference— experimental manipulation. The experimental group gets the experimental manipulation—that is, the treatment or variable being tested—and the control group does not. Since experimental manipulation is the only difference between the experimental and control groups, we can be sure that any differences between...

Robbers Cave

During the 1950s, the landmark Robbers Cave experiment demonstrated that when groups must compete with one another, intergroup conflict, hostility, and even violence may result. At the Oklahoman summer camp, two troops of boys—termed the Rattlers and the Eagles—took part in a week-long tournament. During this time, their negativity culminated in derogatory name-calling, fistfights, and even vandalism and destruction of property. However, this work also revealed that such tension...

Naturalistic Observations

15.4K
If you want to understand how behavior occurs, one of the best ways to gain information is to simply observe the behavior in its natural context. However, people might change their behavior in unexpected ways if they know they are being observed. How do researchers obtain accurate information when people tend to hide their natural behavior? As an example, imagine that your professor asks everyone in your class to raise their hand if they always wash their hands after using the restroom. Chances...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Educational Psychology
  • Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

  • Bullying is prevalent in rural schools, posing significant socioemotional risks to targets.
  • Traditional school-wide bullying programs face implementation barriers in rural settings due to resource limitations.
  • Technology-based interventions offer a scalable solution to increase access to bullying prevention in rural communities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the usability and acceptability of the STAC-T bystander bullying intervention application.
  • To compare usability perceptions between school personnel and students.
  • To gather qualitative feedback on program features, usefulness, and feasibility for rural implementation.

Main Methods:

  • Usability testing and qualitative interviews were conducted with 21 participants (school personnel and students) from two rural middle schools.
  • Descriptive statistics and independent-sample t-tests assessed usability and satisfaction ratings.
  • Consensual qualitative research methods were used to analyze thematic feedback.

Main Results:

  • The STAC-T application demonstrated high usability, acceptability, and feasibility, with both user groups rating it well above average.
  • Both school personnel and students reported high satisfaction and likelihood to recommend the program.
  • Qualitative feedback highlighted the utility of a bullying tracker and intervention strategies, alongside a need for accompanying teacher/parent training.

Conclusions:

  • The STAC-T application exhibits strong usability and acceptability, indicating its potential for widespread adoption in rural schools.
  • Results support the progression to a full-scale randomized controlled trial to ascertain the intervention's efficacy.
  • Technology-based bystander interventions like STAC-T can enhance access to crucial bullying prevention resources in underserved rural areas.
