Bullying como forma de sociabilidade juvenil: um estudo sobre práticas interacionais entre meninas na construção de identidades de gênero / Bullying as a form of youthful sociability: a study of interactive practices among girls in the construction of gender identitiesJamile Silva Guimarães de Jesus 20 February 2017 (has links)
Esta pesquisa é um estudo etnográfico realizado em duas escolas públicas do segundo ciclo do ensino fundamental (6º a 9° anos), de duas capitais, São Paulo e Salvador. Tendo como objetivo compreender o papel do bullying no processo de construção da identidade de gênero entre as meninas, foram utilizadas as seguintes técnicas metodológicas: observação participante, conversas informais individuais e grupais com jovens de ambos os sexos e entrevistas em profundidade com garotas, na faixa etária de 11 a 15 anos. A instituição escolar constitui um espaço basilar de poder que regula, normaliza e inculca modelos de feminilidade e masculinidade e da sexualidade heterossexual. Nesse processo de aprendizado social das identidades de gênero, o grupo de pares exerce papel fundamental na reprodução e/ou ressignificação das normas, práticas e discursos relacionados à feminilidade. O bullying cumpre um importante papel como mecanismo cultural estruturado para a prescrição de formas de produção e modelagem dos sujeitos. Tomando como ponto de partida as práticas interacionais cotidianas de inclusão/exclusão social, interpreta-se o bullying entre garotas como uma forma de sociabilidade, assentada em um jogo de diferenças e oposições. As disputas cotidianas entre as meninas associam-se à regulação da sua sexualidade e conformam um processo feminilizante através do controle e da punição de condutas socialmente reprovadas. Por meio dessas interações de regulação e controle da sexualidade são coproduzidas categorias de identidade de gênero, mediante a demarcação e negociação de posições e papéis na hierarquia social / This research is an ethnographic study carried out in two public schools of the second cycle of primary education (6th to 9th grade), from two Brazilian states capitals, São Paulo and Salvador. In order to understand the role of bullying in the process of constructing gender identity among girls, the following methodological techniques were used: participant observation, individual and group informal conversations with both sexes and in-depth interviews with girls in the range age from 11 to 15 years. The school institution is a basic space of power that regulates, normalizes and inculcates models of femininity and masculinity and of heterosexual sexuality. In this process of social learning of gender identities, the peer group plays a fundamental role in the reproduction and/or re-signification of norms, practices and discourses related to femininity. Bullying plays an important role as a structured cultural mechanism for the prescription of forms of production and modeling of subjects. Taking as a starting point the daily interactional practices of social inclusion/exclusion, it is interpreted bullying among girls as a form of sociability, based on a game of differences and oppositions. The daily disputes among girls are associated with the regulation of their sexuality and conform a feminizing process through the control and punishment of socially disapproved behavior. Through these interactions of regulation and control of sexuality, categories of gender identity are co-produced by demarcating and negotiating positions and roles in the social hierarchy

Exploring the Meaning of School Bullying Among Parents of Victimized ChildrenPeyton, Mildred 01 January 2015 (has links)
Bullying in American schools has increased to what some have considered an epidemic and is a major problem among youth. Bullied youth experience poorer mental health and lower school performance, in comparison to those who are not bullied, and the growth of bullying has raised concerns from parents, schools, policy makers, and human-services professionals interested in prevention and intervention of bullying behaviors. The purpose of this study was to explore how parents whose children experienced school bullying perceived school administrators, teachers, antibullying school policies or programs, and their family's dynamics, to better understand the parents' internal experiences. The theoretical framework for this study was the symbolic interactionism theory, which posits that individuals develop subject meanings of themselves and their world, based on their experiences. A phenomenological study design was employed, using purposeful semistructured interviews of 7 parents of different schools, all of whom had witnessed bullying in their children's lives. Data were open coded and analyzed for emergent themes. The study showed that these 7 parents were not satisfied with their respective school's approach to handling bullying, especially when their home environments were adversely impacted. One recommendation that stemmed from these findings was to establish sanctions for schools failing to adhere to bullying policies. This study may provoke positive social change in the area of school safety and in areas concerning improved understanding and communication among parents, teachers, school administrators, and other professionals. Along with this notion, students may have the opportunity to thrive in a more secure atmosphere, which may lead to positive social and emotional achievements that may promote higher societal achievements.

School bullying : psychosocial determinants and effective interventionParada, Roberto H., University of Western Sydney, College of Arts, School of Education January 2006 (has links)
Bullying incorporates a range of behaviours such as name-calling, physical assaults, social exclusion and verbal and physical intimidation. Engaging in and being the target of bullying is a significant risk factor for future criminal behaviour and poor mental health, making bullying a significant threat to an individual’s long-term psychological and personal development. The present investigation had three aims: (1) to create robust psychometric instruments to reliably measure bullying, bystander roles, and related constructs in adolescents: (2) to explicate the psychosocial determinants of bullying, identify characteristics which differentiate bullies and their targets, and investigate the role of other motivators in the incidence/maintenance of bullying and being bullied: and (3) to assess the effectiveness of a new whole-school anti-bullying intervention on reducing bullying incidents and enhancing pro-social attitudes and behaviour. Participants were a total of 5204 secondary school students (2277 males and 2929 females) in Years 7 to 11 and 256 teachers from six secondary non-government schools in NSW, Australia. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), reliability analysis and Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) of factorial invariance were conducted to assess the psychometric properties of the instruments used in this study. Results demonstrated that the measures developed had sound psychometric properties. Boys were found to bully and be bullied more than girls across verbal, social and physical forms of bullying. The findings have important implications for theory, research and practice. This study has yielded several measures to further advance theory and research in bullying: the identification of a reciprocal effects model that explains the relation between psychological traits such as self-concept, bullying and being bullied advanced understandings about the casual effect of bullying on negative psychological outcomes, thus highlighting the importance of intervention: and an effective anti-bullying intervention for secondary school students. / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

An Examination of the Forms of Bullying and Their Relationship to the Reports of Victimization in Students Grades 6-12Kulp, Christa McSorley 22 April 2013 (has links)
Bullying is a common problem among children and adolescents in which the consequences can be severe. Bullying is associated with a variety of negative outcomes and can lead to a variety of mental and physical health problems. The purpose of this study was to examine forms of bullying behaviors that were most predictive of student-reported bullying and the frequency of student-reported bullying in response to a variety of bullying behaviors. In this study, an archival dataset was utilized. Data collected in the fall of 2012 came from 8387 6th through 12th grade students who attended 124 public middle and high schools in Anne Arundel County Public Schools, Maryland. The web-based bullying survey, designed as a component of a district-wide bullying prevention initiative, was intended to assess the prevalence, type, and social norms associated with bullying and school violence.<br>For the first research question, logistic regression analyses indicated that teasing and name-calling were the most frequent forms of bullying and were the two primary predictors of student-reported bullying. Social and/or relational forms of bullying were overall the most frequently reported forms of bullying. In contrast, physical or direct forms of bullying and cyberbullying were the least frequent forms of bullying reported.<br>For the second research question, a series of chi-square analyses indicated significant differences for all types of bullying behavior and whether or not student reported being bullied. Specifically, compared to student who did not report being bullied in the past month, those students who did report being bullied within the last month were more likely to report (a) being called names, (b) being threatened, (c) being teased or picked on, (d) being pushed or shoved, (e) having emails or messages sent to others about them, (f) having rumors or lied spread about them, (g) being ignored or left on purpose, (h) having sexual comments or gestures made toward them; and (i) having their property stolen. Based on the results of this current study, several different proposals for future research can be proposed, including (a) examination of the changes in bullying behaviors and reporting of bullying longitudinally, from elementary to high school and (b) comparisons between schools with and without bullying prevention programs in regard to type and frequency of student bullying behaviors and student reporting of bullying. / School of Education; / School Psychology / PhD; / Dissertation;

Drabbades syn på mobbning med fokus på vägen ut ur denEkström, Angelica, Malm, Sara January 2012 (has links)
Studien syftar till att leda till en bättre förståelse för utsattas erfarenheter av mobbning och att öka kunskapen om vad som kan göras för att motverka mobbning samt hur de utsatta kan hjälpas och stöttas. I studien har fyra kvinnor och fyra män deltagit, som alla har upplevt mobbning under skolgången, men som inte längre är utsatta. Metoden som använts är en innehålls analys. Resultatet av intervjuerna tyder på att det upplevda stödet från skola och hem inte var tillräckligt. Att mobbningen pågick under en längre period utan ingripande från vuxna i omgivningen. Samtliga deltagare upplevde mobbningen som jobbig då den pågick men är i efterhand tacksamma för den erfarenhet det har givit. I studien har vi dragit slutsatsen att skolans åtgärder fungerat i praktiken, men satts in försent. Det är viktigt att öka medvetenheten hos både skola och familjer för olika tecken på mobbning samt hantering av den.

Avsändare Anonym : en kvalitativ undersökning om fenomenet nätmobbning ur skolpersonalens perspektivLikeric, Hanka, Therese, Andersson January 2011 (has links)
This study attempts to explore how schools’ handles and prevents cyber-bullying among pupils. The purpose in this study was to investigate how the school staffs work in secondary schools with grades sixth to ninth. How do the schools discover, prevent and stop cyber-bullying? Do the schools’ have any experiences of cyber-bullying? How do the schools work with anti-bullying concepts – have the new phenomenon cyber-bullying affected and changed the schools´ anti-bullying work in connection with the guidelines and in relation to the "new technology"? This study attempts to examine how this is handled within several secondary schools with three different municipalities. The theoretical starting-points have been an inductive theory which later has resulted in four other theoretical models, Meyrowitz two media-models which are describing social environments and several knowledge theories with a sociology perspective. In this study, the methods have been: conversational interviews with school staff –teachers and counselors. The analysis of the empirical material has been primarily content analysis with categorization of sentences which was mainly guided by empirics. The results shows that the schools does not have much experiences of cyber-bullying, they discovers, prevents and stops the phenomenon with same guidelines like the "regular" bullying. The major obstacle in the study showed a lack of resources, mainly among the teachers, such as time pressure and insufficient education on the subject. There also seems to be a lack of collaboration with agents outside the schools, primarily the social services, because the school does not feel that this type of cooperation works. The study provides several issues and several perspectives as a starting point for further research, such as experiences of cyber-bullying at school among pupils and parents.

Nätmobbning : Anser barnen som är kamratstödjare i skolan att det förebyggande arbetet kring nätmobbning kan vara en uppgift för dem? / Cyber bullying : Do the children who are peers at school that Prevent about cyber bullying can be a job for them?Ljung, Heidi January 2012 (has links)
Do children, who are supporter of comradeship, think that working to prevent cyber bullying may be a task for them? This study describes, from a child’s perspective, how a supporter of comradeship can be supportive in the preventive work against cyber bullying. This study will also define the phenomena bulling and cyber bullying, the difference between them and where they can be seen. I will also describe the supporters of comradeship are elected, the information they get from school and how adults at school help them to plan their work. The schoolconsider, of course, the Swedish school law towards (against) bulling and insulting behavior and the school is also visited by inspectors from the Swedish National Agency for Education. The idea to do this study came arise, from a lesson when we discussed, with the pupils, a problem that had happened the day before, after school. It was a problem that was difficult to solve and it was an interesting problem to discuss. I have been interviewing the supporters in group and in pairs. The supporters at the school think that cyber bullying might be a task for them to work with in a preventive way as well as the work to prevent bulling at the schoolyard still is important.

The relationship between bullying and trauma among adolescent male learners.Penning, Susan. January 2009 (has links)
Aim: This study investigated the nature and extent of the relationship between bullying and trauma among male adolescent learners. Trauma was operationalised through the constructs of posttraumatic stress, anxiety, depression, dissociation and anger. In addition the study aimed to determine the prevalence and forms of bullying with reference to the different bullying roles (the bully, the victim, the bully-victim and the bystander). Method: In this quantitative study, two objective measures were administered (viz., the
Olweus Bullying/Victimisation Scale and the Trauma Symptom Checklist for children) to a saturation sample of male adolescent learners between the ages of 12 and 17, from a purposively selected South African male-only high school (N=509). Findings and Conclusions: Statistical analysis (correlational analyis, MANOVA, and Binary-Logistic Regression analysis) produced evidence to suggest that there is a statistically significant relationship between bullying and trauma, and this was strongest for the victim role. The relationship between bullying and trauma was dependent on the frequency of bullying; as the frequency of being bullied increased so too did the mean scores of all the five trauma subscales. Depression demonstrated the highest correlation with the victim role, followed by Posttraumatic stress. In addition, 22.4% of learners could be clinically and subclinically diagnosed with posttraumatic stress and 21.0% with dissociation. The study suggests that each learner has a subjective experience of bullying, and accordingly displays different symptom profiles. Overall, the findings corroborate the argument that repetitive
stressful events (such as bullying) are predictive of symptom-clusters of ongoing trauma. The subjective experience of bullying was also evident in the prevalence rates of bullying; as these were evidently dependent on how it was defined and understood by learners. While only 32.1% of learners admitted to being bullied; 60.2% of this same sample admitted experiencing at least one form of bullying listed in the questionnaire; and similarly, while only 29.8% of learners admitted to bullying other learners; 49.0% admitted participating in at
least one form of bullying listed in the questionnaire. Chronic bullying demonstrated greater levels of trauma for all 5 subscales; 19.7% of learners had experienced weekly (or chronic) bullying and 12.3% had participated in chronic bullying. A range of policy, school-specific and research recommendations are offered based on the findings of the study. / Thesis (M.A.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, 2009.
