The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between bullying behaviors, as measured by the Personal Experiences Checklist (PECK), and resilience, as measured by the Social Emotional Assets and Resilience Scales (SEARS), as well as whether the prosocial behaviors of controling anger, solving problems, and cooperating with others during activities mitigated the effects of bullying behaviors. A relationship between bullying behaviors and resiliency in children has been shown in past research. The theoretical framework for this study was social learning theory. The foundation of social learning theory is that children learned behaviors by imitating the behaviors of others. A sample of 8- to 11-year-old students from local primary schools in Bermuda completed the PECK and the SEARS. Simple regression, multiple regression, and ANOVA were used to analytically examine the relationship between variables. The findings of this study built on existing research, which suggested that children who were more resilient and exhibited more prosocial behaviors, experienced less victimization through bullying. In this study, it was found that the more children were bullied, the less resilient they were. The results of this study have the potential for positive social change through being used for the development and implementation of appropriate social and emotional learning programs. The long-term results of such programs include the reduction of bullying behavior during childhood, adolescent, and adult years, with children having more control over their behaviors, reducing their involvement with the justice system both in their childhood and adult years.

A solution is needed to counteract violent news, Internet, and other negative media images and management behaviors in the workplace, in order to boost engagement and prosocial behaviors at work. The purpose of this phenomenological study was to explore the attitudes of working professionals toward prosocial behaviors and employee engagement in the workplace as affected by transpersonal Hollywood films. An organization's ability to survive is directly related to empowerment and innovation. Classic films provide a gateway for transpersonal experiences that could change behavior and thoughts. Peterson and Seligman's transformational typology involving 6 character virtues and 24 strengths was the basis for coding 8 positive films that were viewed by participants. Data collection consisted of 2 in-depth interviews, 8 written film questionnaires, and an exit interview from a criterion-based, purposeful sample of 10 adult working nonmanagerial professionals living in Los Angeles, employed in any industry except the entertainment industry. Six to 10 participants, according to researchers, are an appropriate number for saturation. The most prevalent strengths mentioned were social intelligence and perspective, followed by integrity, hope and open-mindedness. Frequent phrases that corresponded to the 6 virtue categories were wisdom/knowledge and humanity. The results revealed that positive films could be a boon for industrial/organizational issues involving recruitment, training, motivation, and prosocial behaviors. The use of positive transpersonal Hollywood films in human capital development could lead to positive social change in the workplace by reducing worker sick days and promoting a happier workforce with increased innovation and productivity.

Among such, Diamond Agenda, a group for exchanging information, guidance and tips regarding the most variable subjects, stands out due to the number of participants and interactions. The users post a solicitation for assistance which is promptly answered by the participants. The present research investigates the motivations for the behavior of collaborating without any material compensation. By means of in depth interviews and bibliographic review, nine motivational factors were identified: pleasure, altruism, self-sufficiency, learning, empathy, engagement, reputation, reciprocity and economy. A quantitative survey with 383 members identified that the group has a strong informational characteristic, concretized by prosocial behaviors such as reciprocity. Administrators of such kind of communities can stimulate the engagement of the participants by reinforcing the social exchange among the members. Other studies, with groups targeted to assisting in day-to-day matters, should be conducted in order to deepen the understanding and role of Facebook communities and to evaluate new ways in using them in business communication / Os grupos fechados, como ambientes de interação, vêm ganhando importância no Facebook. Entre esses, a Agenda Diamante, um grupo de troca de informações, orientações e dicas sobre os mais variados assuntos, destaca-se pelo número de participantes e interações. Os usuários postam um pedido de ajuda, que prontamente é respondido pelos demais participantes. Esta pesquisa investiga a motivação para o comportamento de colaborar com os demais sem recompensa material. Empregando entrevistas em profundidade e revisão bibliográfica foram identificados 9 fatores motivacionais: prazer, altruísmo, autoeficácia, aprendizagem, empatia, engajamento, reputação, reciprocidade e economia. Uma pesquisa quantitativa junto a 383 membros identificou que o grupo tem uma forte característica informacional, que se concretiza por meio dos comportamentos pró-sociais como a reciprocidade. Os administradores de comunidades dessa natureza podem estimular o engajamento dos participantes, reforçando a troca social dos membros. Outros estudos, com grupos que tenham como tema o auxílio às pessoas em questões do dia-a-dia, deverão ser conduzidos para aprofundar o entendimento e o papel dessas comunidades do Facebook e avaliar novas formas de empregá-los na comunicação de negócios.
