In order to understand the longitudinal relationships between adolescent psychopathy, bullying perpetration, sexual harassment, and homophobic taunting, data were analyzed from surveys of 544 Canadian teenagers from grades 9 to 12 who took part in the ongoing McMaster Teen Study. The researchers hypothesized a pathway in which psychopathy and bullying were interrelated predictors of sexual harassment and homophobic taunting. Path analysis revealed that the model demonstrated excellent fit and had a significant effect of gender. Psychopathy and bullying perpetration were stable, covarying constructs and psychopathy predicted bullying throughout adolescence. Bullying was more strongly predictive of and concurrently related to homophobic taunting for boys than girls, and homophobic taunting was linked to sexual harassment perpetration for boys, but not girls. Psychopathy predicted homophobic taunting and sexual harassment equally across sexes. Limitations and future directions are discussed and suggestions for counselling adolescents who are high on bullying and psychopathic traits are provided.

<p>I have conducted a study and examined the significance and extent of bullying. I will also examine whether any students in grade eight have been victims of bullying during the past year and where bullying was carried out in school X. The second objective is to explore what students think about the concept of "taunting". I have used various theories of researchers to get an understanding of what bullying is, where it occurs, causes, and suggestions for measures. To get an answer on the purpose and issue a quantitative method was used in the form of a survey. Target group for the survey consisted of students from grade eight schools in X which is located in a suburb of Stockholm. Two classes of grade eight in School X carried out the survey during the same day.</p><p>Results showed that bullying occurs at X school, but that the proportion of boys has been more subjected to bullying than girls. The majority of the students in the both classes believed that most cases of bullying occur in school hallways, playground and cafeteria. It may be one reason why school X does not have guards or other members of staff. The majority of students also considered in the survey that the concept of "taunting" is to call each other by words of “genitalia". I think that the use of foul language has become common in today's schools. </p><p> </p>

The paper points out the importance of the cooperation between school and family aiming to reduce the manifestation of taunting among children and shows empathy, social skills, self-esteem and suppression of aggression as the main qualities of a strong personality, which can considerably reduce the extent of taunting. The aim of the paper is to examine the family’s attitude towards taunting at school and parents’ preparation to help their children. On the base of scientific and psycho-pedagogical literature and empirical investigation it is maintained that taunting can be the cause of the family upbringing style. Family is the backbone of society and state, the most important environment where a person grows up. This is the union between people that can ensure the complete satisfaction of a child’s needs, his/her preparation for future challenges as well as upbringing of a strong, independent, having his/her own system of values citizen. A child should grow up in the safest environment possible so that later he/she would have less trouble.

Bakalauro darbe analizuojama patyčių problema mokyklose: jų priežastys, formos, pasekmės, kurias jaučia tiek patyčių auka, tiek patyčių iniciatorius, tiek ir visa mokyklos bendruomenė. Taip pat gilinamasi, ar mokiniai, turintys kalbėjimo ir kalbos sutrikimų, jų susilaukia daugiau. Suformuluota hipotezė, kad kalbėjimo ir kalbos sutrikimai nėra pagrindinė priežastis, dėl ko mokiniai patiria patyčias. Tyrime dalyvavo 100 kalbėjimo ir kalbos sutrikimų turinčių mokinių, taip pat 30 įprastinės kalbos raidos mokinių bei 50 pedagogų, kurie ugdo mokinius, turinčius kalbėjimo ir kalbos sutrikimų. Anketinės apklausos metodu tirta, kaip kalbėjimo ir kalbos sutrikimų turintys mokiniai jaučiasi mokykloje, kaip dažnai, kur ir kokias patyčias tenka patirti, kaip jie į tai reaguoja, ir kaip mano, kodėl vaikai tyčiojasi. Šių mokinių nuomonė buvo lyginama su kitų mokinių bei mokytojų atsakymais. Tyrimu nustatyta, kad dažniau patyčias patiria mokiniai, turintys kalbėjimo ir kalbos sutrikimų, nors nemaža dalis įprastinės kalbos raidos mokinių taip pat patiria patyčias. Dažniausi patyčių būdai yra pravardžiavimas, erzinimas, apkalbinėjimas, ignoravimas ar nebendravimas ir stumdymas. Šias patyčių formas taip pat dažniausiai tenka matyti mokytojams. Nemažai mokinių, kurie patiria patyčias, skriaudėjams atsako tuo pačiu. Taip pat nevengia papasakoti apie patyčias mokytojams ar tėvams. Mokytojai dažniausiai drausmina skriaudėjus, pasišneka su skriaudžiamu vaiku, pataria...
