Abstract:

This study investigated the issue of student cyberbullying in Florida's public middle schools. First, a content analysis of six Florida school district anti-bullying policies was conducted to determine the alignment between the state model policy and district policies. Next, 68 middle school principals from the same six Florida school districts completed the Cyberbullying Policies and Response Principal Survey online. Survey respondents were either members or non-members of the state mentoring team against bullying and harassment. Findings showed that all six school districts' anti-bullying policies were comprehensive in addressing the definitions of bullying behaviors, to include cyberbullying, as well as for reporting and responding to bullying incidents. However, it was found that improvements could be made concerning periodic review and updating of bullying policies as well as addressing issues of inclusiveness. Additionally, it was found that the middle school principals were generally aware of the seriousness of cyberbullying regardless of their membership status on the state mentoring team against bullying and harassment. They enforced both technology and bullying policies to prevent and respond to student cyberbullying. This was done either by their own initiative or as directed by the school districts. It was also discovered that principals were sensitive to the fact that students at their schools had been cybervictims, cyberbullies, or both. Moreover, principals believed that a majority of those activities occurred off-campus. It remains, though, uncertain as to what factors influence whether or not a school has a campus specific cyberbullying policy. However, principals conveyed an understanding that education about and enforcement of cyberbullying policies was imperative. Hence, more research is needed to determine how educators can continue to confront this type of adolescent aggression both on and off-campus.

Abstract:

This study explores the phenomenon of gendered harassment in secondary schools from the teachers' perspectives. The few studies that address the biased behaviors that are linked under the concept of gendered harassment (sexual harassment, homophobic harassment, and harassment for gender non-conformity) indicate that teachers are less likely to intervene in these incidents. This dissertation explores how teachers understand and respond to (hetero)sexist and homophobic behaviors when they occur.
Six teachers in one urban school board participated in a series of three open-ended in-depth interviews where they spoke about the many factors that influenced how they saw and intervened in various forms of bullying and harassment in their schools. Interview data were analyzed using contextual and thematic codes to locate similarities, differences, and stories in the data. This study is informed by critical, feminist and queer theories. The findings have been organized in a conceptual framework that emerged from the research.
Findings indicate that there are both external and internal influences that shape how teachers view and respond to gendered harassment in schools. The external factors, also described as school culture, include both structural-formal and structural-informal influences. Formal influences include policies, training, curriculum and contracts. Informal influences refer to leadership style, relationships with colleagues, policy implementation, and community values. Internal influences that shape teachers' perceptions and responses include: educational biography, teaching philosophy, and personal identities.
The implications of this study for research and practice can have impacts on the fields of school policy, teacher education, curriculum, and educational leadership. It provides a framework for understanding how school cultures interact with teachers' identities and shape how policies and curricula are implemented. It also offers suggestions for scholars, advocates, and educational leaders to proactively address the negative impacts of gendered harassment by transforming teacher education, educational leadership programs, and in turn, school cultures.

Abstract:

In Tennessee, a majority of students who identify as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, or Transgender (LGBT) do not feel safe due to bullying and harassment that is targeted toward them by their peers. Schools, such as MTS school (a pseudonym), are not required to specify protection for LGBT students, causing the LGBT bullying to continue without being reported and resulting in higher absences, lower achievement, greater mental health issues, and in some cases, suicidal ideation among LGBT students. Through confidential personal interviews that were transcribed and coded, this case study's purpose was to better understand how MTS adult stakeholders perceive (a) the issue of LGBT based violence, (b) the effectiveness of the school's current bullying policy in protecting LGBT students, and (c) the possibility of implementing a change in the school policy to protect LGBT students. Exploring the barriers to protecting LGBT students was based on the theoretical framework of antibias education in which students gain self-awareness, develop acceptance of human diversity, recognize unfairness in society, and are empowered to act against discrimination. The following four themes emerged: (a) accepting culture, (b) protection of students, (c) need for change, and (d) process for change. These findings have led to the development of a policy recommendation and plan of action that, through antibias education, will specifically protect the LGBT students and include acceptance and tolerance of the LGBT community in the counseling curriculum. The results of this study may create a positive social change by opening up dialogue concerning the effects of LGBT-based bullying on students and exploring opportunities to create a safe school environment for all children.

Abstract:

The aim of this study was to describe occurrences of peer harassment and the influences it has on Form Three learners in Zimbabwean rural day secondary schools. A review of studies conducted internationally indicated that peer harassment is prevalent and is stressful for most learners. Reports indicate that the negative impacts of peer harassment limit the educational achievements of the learners, and that learners need teacher and parental assistance to deal with peer harassment. In particular there appears to be a need for the creation of safe learning environments. This study was informed by an eclectic framework based on Erik Erikson's psychosocial theory, Bronfenbrenner's socio-ecological theory and Allardt's social welfare theory. These three theories point to the need for understanding that the social supports available to an individual determine how the individual perceives and responds to all his or her experiences. Investigations of the perceptions which individuals hold of their diverse lived experiences are best understood from a qualitative paradigm. Since the study intended to gain an understanding of the forms of peer harassment experienced by learners and how their individual experiences influenced their wellbeing, a phenomenological design was used. The sample was comprised of fifteen Form Three (grade 10) learners from three rural schools who volunteered to share their experiences of peer harassment. Data generated from semi-structured interviews with the individual participants were analyzed revealing emergent themes to answer the research questions. Findings revealed that the learners experienced various forms of peer harassment with physical peer harassment being the most prevalent. The data also revealed that peer harassment had both psychological and social influences on the well being of the learners which were primarily negative. Most learners felt that they were not getting adequate support from the adults (i.e., their teachers and the parents and guardians. The apparent reason for this lack of support from the adults was related to the community values which adults held about how learners were expected to deal with peer harassment. It was also evident that most learners chose to suffer silently, or hoped that God would intervene to assist them. Teachers were also not doing enough to assist the learners to stop peer harassment. Like the parents and guardians, most of the teachers did not perceive peer harassment as a serious problem in learners' lives so they did very little to assist victims who complained to them. Learners relied primarily on friends for support. The study concluded that peer harassment influenced the learners 'psychological and social well being negatively. It provided recommendations for schools, teachers, parents and the learners themselves. These stakeholders may collaborate to establish anti-harassment policies and to inform the design and implementation of anti-harassment policies in Zimbabwean rural schools. Recommendations are also provided for further studies aimed at identifying effective responses to the phenomenon of peer harassment.

Abstract:

Bullying has been an issue in schools and became a major concern for school leaders over the past two decades. Olweus (1993) defined three characteristics of bullying behavior: intent to harm another, repeated offenses, and a perceived or real power imbalance. This study examined the law's provisions concerning bullying in schools; specifically examining the Florida Jeffrey Johnston Stand Up for All Student Act (2008), and the required policy implemented in Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS). Discourse theory framed the study, as defined by Habermas (1996) and the derivative Interpretive Policy Analysis was used to analyze the district policy, as defined by Yanow (2000). The study utilized four research questions to examine bullying law and policy: what constitutional, statutory, and case law said about bullying; bullying policies in literature; development of bullying policy and how closely it matched law. Constitutional law laid the foundation of the school system. Statutory law provided more details and at the state level, defined requirements concerning bullying. Bullying laws existed in 44 states, the majority addressing one or more of Olweus' components. HCPS developed its xii bullying policy in the fall, 2008, closely following requirements of Florida bullying law. The district had a student conduct policy prior to new requirements and a violence prevention committee (VPC) met monthly. The VPC formed a smaller committee including administrators, teachers, parents, students, and law enforcement members, to develop the policy. The committee examined each component of the state model policy, and either used the item verbatim or added additional information specific to HCPS. The district exceeded state requirements for some items such as extending the definition of bullying to include employees and visitors. Overall, bullying laws were designed to protect students from harmful behaviors. The district policy was designed to achieve this task; however, it was also seen as a means to avoid lawsuits and to protect the district's interests. Implications included the need to update laws/policies continually to reflect the current times, such as new technologies, and the interpretation of laws and eventual implementation in schools. In addition, the interpretive policy analysis process used in this study could be applied to other studies examining the policy development process.

Marques, Renan Gonçalves Pinto. "Uma análise sobre a criminalização do bullying escolar no ordenamento jurídico penal brasileiro." Universidade Católica de Pernambuco, 2015. http://www.unicap.br/tede//tde_busca/arquivo.php?codArquivo=1166.

Abstract:

A análise da criminalização do bullying escolar no ordenamento jurídico penal brasileiro ganha força quando do surgimento do Anteprojeto do Código Penal de 2012, que passou a prever em seu Art. 148 o crime de intimidação vexatória, que seria o nome dado ao bullying aqui no Brasil. Ou seja, o bullying escolar não é crime em nosso ordenamento jurídico penal, entretanto, existe a possibilidade de um dia vir a ser criminalizado. Diante desta possibilidade, surge a hipótese a ser enfrentada na presente dissertação no sentido de que se o bullying escolar é um problema eminentemente relacionado à área da educação, então o direito penal não seria o ramo do direito mais apropriado para solucionar este problema. Para analisar esta hipótese, inicialmente será abordada a utilização de políticas criminais de expansão punitiva como uma forma de controle social dos marginalizados da sociedade por meio do uso sistemático da prisão, tendo em vista que a criminalização de novas condutas possui relação com a adoção de políticas criminais com esta finalidade. Dentro deste contexto, serão vistas algumas causas que fundamentam políticas criminais de expansão punitiva e que também podem servir para justificar a eventual criminalização do bullying escolar, tais como a inclusão do medo no tom emocional da política criminal, o retorno da vítima para o centro da política crimina e o populismo e a politização do Direito Penal. Em seguida, ainda dentro do contexto da utilização de políticas criminais de expansão punitiva como forma de controle social, serão analisados outros pontos que possuem relação com esta temática, quais sejam, o direito penal simbólico e a política criminal de tolerância zero, já que este discurso também pode ser utilizado para justificar a eventual criminalização do bullying escolar. Na sequência, será enfrentada a temática do bullying escolar como um problema social relacionado à área da educação e a sua (contraditória) proposta de criminalização. Para tanto, será visto o fenômeno do bullying como uma forma de violência praticada no âmbito escolar, sendo abordados os primeiros estudos do bullying escolar e os fatores que podem desencadeá-lo. Logo em seguida, será vista a possibilidade de criminalização do bullying escolar e sua relação com as políticas criminais de expansão punitiva. Por último, será visto o discurso que se contrapõe às políticas criminais de expansão punitiva, que evidencia a deslegitimação do sistema penal e a sua limitada operacionalidade, abordando-se a seletividade do sistema penal e os efeitos marginalizantes e estigmatizantes do sistema carcerário que são mostrados pela plataforma teórica da criminologia crítica. Também serão analisadas as políticas criminais alternativas à deslegitimação do sistema penal (os abolicionismos e minimalismos), momento em que poderão ser feitas considerações finais para enfrentar a hipótese levantada na presente dissertação.

Abstract:

This study examined the success of five elementary schools in their implementation of the 2011 New Jersey Harassment, Intimidation, and Bullying law (NJ HIB law). It also explored stakeholders' perceptions of school climate since the law went into effect. Fourth and fifth grade parents, students, teachers, and counselors in the district's five elementary schools were invited to participate in surveys, focus groups, and interviews. The study revealed that these stakeholders supported the spirit of the law but felt that there were unexpected obstacles in the law that impeded its effectiveness to support a positive school climate and eliminate bullying. The results of the study will aid the district's elementary schools to improve implementation of the HIB law and guide stakeholders as they move to create a positive school climate and eliminate bullying.

Abstract:

All students should be guaranteed a learning environment that is free from all forms of harassment that negatively affect the school climate as well as the learning environment. The purpose of this quantitative study was to examine the perceptions and attitudes of Sullivan County, Tennessee, K-12 administrators regarding harassment and the associated legal liability. The study also ascertained the attitudes of the administrators pertaining to various forms of student-to-student harassment in their schools, collected data regarding their perceptions of the effectiveness of mandated anti-harassment measures, and examined administrators' attitudes toward the need for more harassment-avoidance training. The research design was descriptive and used data gathered from a survey instrument developed by the researcher regarding administrators' perceptions and attitudes regarding harassment and the associated legal liability. The survey contained 26 question-items. The study's population consisted of 48 Sullivan County administrators. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance, t test, Pearson's correlation, Tamhane post hoc pairwise comparison, and Tukey post hoc test. The results of the study indicated that administrators were knowledgeable about the law and legal ramifications regarding student-to-student harassment. The results also showed that middle and high school students needed more harassment-avoidance training than elementary students. No significant differences were found in their perceptions of the current status of harassment based on population, socioeconomic status, or level of the school. The study offers a valuable insight into administrators' perception and attitudes regarding harassment and the associated legal liability. It also offers a number of recommendations including the need for more harassment-avoidance training to combat this problem for middle and high school students. Effective implementation of bullying prevention programs will need to involve all school stakeholders in order to be successful. The results may be used by school systems to plan for future staff development regarding harassment-avoidance training. Students have a right to feel safe at school as they grow and mature into adulthood. It is the duty of all schools to provide them that safe and secure atmosphere.

Abstract:

Despite the increase in bullying behavior that has occurred among high school students, there is a lack of age appropriate intervention programs available to assist secondary administrators and staff with this problem. The purpose of this case study in 1 high school in a suburb of a major Mid-Atlantic city in the United States was to determine the perceptions held by secondary administrators and staff of an adapted antibullying program, originally created for use in elementary schools, in reducing the incidences of bullying behavior and feelings of strain. This study was also designed to explore how administrators and staff perceived if the bullying prevention program fostered prosocial behavior, and the extent to which the program reduced peer aggression, peer harassment, and strain. The conceptual framework was general strain theory described by Durkheim and Merton. The design for this case study included interviews with 5 teachers and 3 administrators who had been involved in implementation of the antibullying program. Open coding was used to organize and analyze the data for the emergence of significant concepts and patterns. Codes were formulated into four associated meanings or themes; relationships, student responsibility, positive culture, and trusting and supportive environment. The results indicated that school personnel were able to modify an existing bullying prevention program that has changed the culture of the school and the mindset of its student body while helping the students to alleviate strain and issues of aggression and harassment. The current research may affect social change by encouraging other secondary schools to assess their bullying prevention programs to determine if the material being used is age appropriate for secondary students and if the programs are indeed alleviating bullying behavior and strain in their students.

Abstract:

The primary purpose of this study is to identify those people at most risk of being bullied at work. While much research is being conducted on school bullying, little has been conducted on workplace bullying. Using data gathered from a 2004 study conducted by the National Opinion Research Center for the General Social Survey, which included a Quality of Work Life (QWL) module for the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), linear regressions indicated significant findings. As predicted, workers in lower level occupations, as ranked by prestige scoring developed at National Opinion Research, are more likely to be victimized. Data also suggest that being young, Black, and relatively uneducated may contribute to being bullied in certain situations. Future research is needed to examine influences of socio-economic, legal, and other demographic factors that may predict the chance of being bullied.

L’étude du harcèlement systématique entre pairs à l’école (school bullying) est-il éclairé par l’approfondissement de la relation aux normes qu’entretiennent les jeunes acteurs ? Quels sont les éléments clé aidant l’identification et la compréhension du phénomène ?A partir d’une redéfinition du bullying insistant sur les apports croisés de chaque protagoniste sur la scène des dynamiques indésirables, le travail propose une étude située du problème. Chaque acte et chaque initiative de type bullying sont ainsi analysés dans le cadre de la situation spécifique qu’ils dessinent et dont ils relèvent à la fois. Pour cela, l’attention est portée sur les attributions de sens et sur la perception réciproque d’adhésions normatives mises en avant par les élèves concernés. Quatre classes scolaires italiennes sont analysées dans leurs dynamiques relationnelles et conflictuelles ; du point de vue de leur organisation, de l’ordre et de la discipline ; en termes d’investissements axiologiques opérés par les jeunes et leur entourage et encouragés par les enseignants
School bullying: does the study of peer harassment in schools delve deeper into the relationships of young people with rules and values? What are the key factors that can help to better identify and understand the phenomenon ? The work starts from a re-definition of school bullying based on the cross contribution of each character acting in the educational scene where the undesirable dynamics take place to propose a local analysis of the problem. Each school bullying initiative is analysed in the context of the specific situation that it create and from which it raises. Attention is also brought to the attribution of meanings as well as to the reciprocal perception of the compliance with the rules by students. Four Italian classrooms are examined taking into account the dynamics of their relationships and conflicts; their organization, rules and discipline; the axiological investments made by young people and promoted by their teachers

Abstract:

Uppsatsen centrerades kring ett accelererande problem- med konsekvenser även för skolan - nämligen de digitala kränkningarna. Syftet med själva projektet är att primärt belysa hur skolledning och skolpersonal dels uppfattar och dels hanterar möjliga digitala kränkningar, oavsett var och hur dessa kränkningar framförs.Uppsatsen bygger på intervjuer med nyckelinformanter i skolorganisationen i en kommun, från politisk nivå till verkställande nivå i form av rektorer m fl. Dessa intervjuer speglas mot svar från Skolverket, barnombudsmannen m fl. Intervjuerna - med nyckelinformanter – visade på vissa svårigheter med detta problemområde. En svårighet visade sig vara ansvarsfördelningen skola - hem. Informanterna upplevde att en dominerande del av kränkningarna sker på fritiden och ansåg i varierande grad att detta är hemmets problem och inte skolans. En åsikt som inte helt delas av de informanter som har anknytning till Skolverket eller Barnombudsmannen.

Abstract:

Bakgrund: Barns och ungas psykiska hälsa har försämrats sedan 1990-talet. Förekomsten av mobbning ligger på samma nivå sedan samma tid. Mobbning och kränkningar har negativa effekter på barns psykiska hälsa. Skolsköterskor har en central roll vad gäller att främja skolbarns hälsa. Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att beskriva hur skolsköterskor ser på sin roll i arbetet mot mobbning och kränkningar i skolan. Metod: Kvalitativ metod med induktiv ansats. Elva e-postintervjuer har analyserats med kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultat: Resultatet presenteras i fyra teman. Resultatet visar att skolsköterskor vill, men har inte tillräckligt med tid att arbeta mot mobbning. att hen identifierar och bemöter elever som är utsatta för mobbning, att hen samarbetar med andra professioner på skolan samt att hen även arbetar preventivt i arbetet mot mobbning. Konklusion: Skolsköterskorna såg sig inte som framträdande i arbetet mot mobbning och kränkningar. Deras syn på sin roll var främst att identifiera och bemömta utsatta elever och hälsosamtalet var deras främsta redskap. Samarbete med andra professioner ansågs vara viktigt för att kunna möta elevens behov.

Abstract:

The increased usage of media and technology has not only opened new areas for bullies, but also made the visible form of bullying invisible. In addition, movements like ‘me too’ have blossomed showing that sexual harassment is and has been a prevalent issue in the Western world for a long time. Simultaneously, adolescents’ suicide rates have increased. Therefore, selecting a Young Adult (YA) novel like 13 Reasons Why for the English as a foreign language (EFL) classroom may work to address these topical issues and possibly help students understand the consequences of bullying and sexual harassment.

Abstract:

This study analyses how abusive treatment is handled in three novels for adolescents, Färglös, Näthat blues, and Fjärde riket, in order to reveal how these novels can be used as a basis for discussions of values in the teaching of Swedish in upper secondaryschool. The three novels were chosen because statistics showed that they were the most frequently borrowed books for young people under the subject heading bullying at a library in southern Sweden. The analysis shows that there are different forms of abusive treatment in the three books. Färglös describes abusive treatment against a social category, where the members of the vulnerable group are forced to protect themselves and each other as a group. Näthat blues is about net bullying, sexual harassment, and gender-related bullying against a specific individual, while Fjärde riket shows how abuse can be used as a strategy to achieve a higher power position. The latter book tells the story from the point of view of both the victim and the perpetrators. The conclusionis that the three novels, in different ways, invite changes of perspective and can function well as a basis for discussions about abuse using fictitious characters.

Abstract:

Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Education (Educational Psychology) in the Department of Educational Psychology & Special Education Faculty of Education at the University of Zululand, South Africa, 2012.
Cyberbullying is a new form of bullying and harassment that is also referred to as electronic or online bullying. It may involve the following: sending mean, vulgar or threatening messages or images, posting sensitive or private information online, pretending to be someone else online in order to make a person look bad or intentionally exclude a person from an online group. Viewed as covert psychological bullying conveyed through electronic means it has been identified as the most problematic form of emerging cruelty among adolescents in schools. Existing research studies on cyberbullying suggests that it is increasing at a phenomenal rate and it is not clear whether online perpetrators and victims possess the same characteristic behaviours and psychosocial profiles as their traditional bullying counterparts. However in South Africa there is a paucity of research. The present study seeks to examine the behavioural and psychosocial factors associated with cyberbullying among Grade 8 to 10 learners, in a cross-section of schools, in KwaZulu-Natal. The purpose of the research was to determine: the prevalence of cyberbullying; the relationship between age, gender, rural and urban dichotomy and socioeconomic status of victims and perpetrators of cyberbullying; school personnel’s management of cyberbullying; and the relationship between psychosocial factors and behavioural characteristics and cyberbullying. Two questionnaires were used. The first was a 3-part psychosocial questionnaire and the other a cyberbullying questionnaire (Riebel, Jager, & Fischer, 2008). The data from this study confirms that cyberbullying is prevalent in various forms, in secondary schools, in KwaZulu-Natal. The total sample was N=450. Of which 199 (44.22%) reported that they were victims or perpetrators of cyberbullying. There were 127 (28.22%) who identified themselves as victims and 72 (16.0 %) admitted to be perpetrators. The most frequent form of cyberbullying experienced was rumours and slander using the internet or cellular phone. The electronic communication preferences of participants were: instant messaging (50%); 47% used social networking; about 44% used chatrooms and 32% used email. Females spent more time in chatrooms and sent more instant messages than the males. The results show that friends and fellow learners were responsible for the cyberbullying most frequently. The victims rarely choose to reveal that they were cyberbullied to their teachers. Participants chose their friends as the primary person to talk to about their victimisation while the secondary person was their parents. Teachers were the last person of choice to seek help. Comparison of victims, non-victims, perpetrators and non-perpetrators of cyberbullying on the Life Satisfaction Scale (LSS), indicated that victims of cyberbullying were the most dissatisfied group (9.83%) while perpetrators reported high satisfaction. There was a significant difference between victims and non-victims on their performance on the psychological well-being scale and this was also the case for perpetrators and nonperpetrators of cyberbullying. Victims did not like themselves; expressed a poor sense of self, low self-esteem and lack of self-confidence and had more negative self-perceptions which affected their psychological well-being. They expressed feeling of helplessness, loneliness, sadness, despair, anger, and self loathing. Perpetrators also had strong feelings of worthlessness, guilt, sadness and hopelessness. They were tearful and expressed a loss of interest in daily activities, experienced difficulty cThe behavioural characteristics described by the groups showed considerable variations. Victims of cyberbullying rated themselves highest on being serious and they rated themselves lower on being friendly, emotional, stubborn and happy. Perpetrators of cyberbullying rated themselves highest on being aggressive, nervous, stubborn, happy, awkward and sad. Victims and perpetrators had experienced more difficulty learning to read and were in trouble more often in school than the non-victims and non-perpetrators. Cyberbullying is prevalent in South African secondary schools, among Grade 8, Grade 9 and Grade 10 learners and occurs among males and females, from rich and poor backgrounds, rural and urban areas irrespective of racial and ethnic backgrounds. Implications of these results are discussed with special focus on intervention and management of cyberbullying concentrating on school work and expressed a lack of enthusiasm and motivation.

Abstract:

The aetiology and impact of inappropriate behaviour in Malaysia is not well understood. This study was designed to explore inappropriate behaviour at work in Malaysia among health care employees. In this research, inappropriate behaviour was defined as harassment, bullying or mobbing, according to the definitions from the Equality Commission for Northern Ireland and Labour Relations Agency (2006). The research was conducted in three stages: an explanatory study; a large-scale quantitative survey; and an interview-based qualitative study. Results indicated that 42.6% of employees experience inappropriate behaviour in the.workplace. The inappropriate behaviour perpetrators are both superiors and co-workers, but the pattern of findings suggests that there is no association between demographics and the reports of inappropriate behaviour. This suggests that inappropriate behaviour occurs throughout the workforce. However, there was little variation in ethnicity in the sample, so conclusions about this variable are tenuous. When compared to participants who had not experienced harassment, those who did were less satisfied with the support provided by the organisation in this situation and were less satisfied at work, according to scores on the Job Satisfaction Scale (JSS). Additionally, the research suggests that the factor structure of the JSS may not be appropriate in a Malaysian sample and an alternative factor structure is proposed. In the final qualitative study, participants from different professions expressed feelings of frustration at their experiences of inappropriate behaviour and a sense of helplessness/hopelessness that anything could be done to remedy this situation. Consequently, participants found themselves in a situation where they felt forced to tolerate the inappropriate behaviour because they feared the adverse consequences of making a complaint about their experiences. Overall, these findings contribute to an awareness of inappropriate behaviour at work, its enablers and its consequences in a culturally diverse, non-Western society.

Resumo: O corpo, a mente, o cérebro e o comportamento humano passaram, ao longo do tempo, por pressões evolutivas, ou seja, alguns mecanismos foram mantidos e aprimorados com a seleção natural. Desta forma, o comportamento humano seria o resultado do predisposto biologicamente e a influência do ambiente. Assim, alguns comportamentos foram mantidos como, por exemplo, a tendência de viver em grupos que podem tanto beneficiar o indivíduo quanto distorcer e fazer com que o mesmo abandone suas concepções e ideais. O preconceito, o estigma e o estereotipo são exemplos de situações em que o sujeito enfrenta dificuldade na interação grupal. Há de se considerar também que, quando este indivíduo deseja realmente fazer parte do grupo, o mesmo é capaz de manipular seus comportamentos a fim de convergir com o grupo, modificando assim a sua imagem pública. O bullying também pode ser apontado com uma situação em que ocorre a dificuldade de ajustamento grupal, caracterizado por agressões, ações desrespeitosas e assédios, que ocorram de maneira recorrente e intencional sem uma motivação específica do agressor. Desta forma, esta pesquisa se justificou pela necessidade de se compreender por que alguns indivíduos são mais vulneráveis ou propícios a serem vítimas de bullying, e assim evoluir o conhecimento sobre o fenômeno, para se obter um recurso a mais no campo científico, bem como a possibilidade de intervenção e prevenção no âmbito social.

Abstract: This body, mind brain and human behavior have, over time, passed through evolutionary pressures, that is, some mechanisms have been maintained and improved with natural selection. In this way, human behavior would be the result of biological predisposition and the influence of the environment. Thus, some behaviors have been beeen maintained, such as the tendency to live in groups that can both benefit the individual and distort them and cause them to abandon their conceptions and ideals. Prejudice, stigma and stereotype are examples of situations in which the subject faces difficulty in group interaction. It must also be considered that when this individual really wants be part of the group, he is able to manipulate his behavior in order to coverage with the group, thus modifyidng his public image. Bullying can also be pointed out with a situation in which the difficulty of group adjustment occurs, characterize by aggressions, dispespectful actions and harassment that occur in a recurrent and intentional way without a specific motivation of the agressor. Thus, this research was justified by the need to understand why some individuals are more vulnerable or susceptible to be victims of bullying and thys to envolve the knowledge about the phenomenon, to obtain an additional resource in the scientific field, as well as possibility of intervention and prevention in the social sphere. In this way, the objective was to investigate quantatively and quantitatively the characteristics of victims of bullying, with a distinction beteween men and women in different phases of the life cycle, that trigger such practices in the opinion of university students

Abstract:

The phenomenon of workplace bullying and sexual harassment amongst first responders for the purpose of this study involves a thorough, comprehensive review of the literature. This examination demonstrates the effects workplace bullying, and sexual harassment has across Emergency Service Organizations [ESOs] and the impact on targets as being severe and pervasive, with negative consequences for the targets and the organizations in which they work. During the exploration of this work, 305 articles were reviewed and then screened through Hermeneutic research methods to net 209 studies in the results. Core themes that emerged support that the phenomenon has severe implications for the psychological health of targets, organizational culture implications and public safety outcomes that are serious, pervasive and have negative consequences for individuals, the organization and the public. Data in this study show that factors that influence workplace bullying and sexual harassment include organizational culture (acceptable) and a “rite of passage” which creates a groupthink mentality that normalizes and creates a toxic culture ripe for incivility within emergency service organizations. The impact on targets includes severe psychological harm and the depletion of psychological resource that has long-lasting negative mental health implications. Also, data shows that there are public safety implications for workplace bullying, and sexual harassment as targets experience an erosion of professional competence and burnout that can lead to catastrophic consequences regarding critical incidents with clients.

Full text

Abstract:

Currently there is a high rate of registered nurse (RN) turnover due in part to bullying and harassment among peers; which fosters lower quality nursing care, jeopardizes patient safety, and increases healthcare costs. The purpose of this quantitative nonexperimental study was to examine the relationship between inpatient nurses’ individual self-esteem and reported bullying and harassment with their intent to leave their job. Two theories were used to provide structure to this work: cognitive experimental self theory and oppressed group theory. Data were collected using the Negative Acts Questionnaire, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and the Turnover Intentions Measure. All RNs in a Midwestern state were emailed an invitation link to the instruments housed on SurveyMonkey. Only those respondents who claimed to be inpatient RNs were included in the study (n = 770). The three research questions asked about bullying and harassment among inpatient RNs, about the self-esteem of RNs who experienced bullying and harassment and those who have not, and if those RNs who experienced bullying and harassments intended to leave their jobs. With a 2.1% response rate, results indicated that there was a relationship among RNs and bullying and harassment, the self-esteem of RNs who did not experience bullying and harassment was higher than those who did experience bullying and harassment, and there was a positive relationship between RNs experiencing bullying and harassment and their intent to leave their jobs. This research suggests that if bullying and harassment patterns among RNs are identified sooner, RN turnover can be reduced, patient care quality and safety can be improved, and U.S. healthcare costs can decrease.

Abstract:

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.

English abstract

The culture of hotel and restaurant work.

Dangerous for apprentices and students?

The study is based on a survey targeting 50 teachers at chef schools with good geographic distribution of 9 schools. Teachers answer questions on bullying and sexual harassment in the hotel and restaurant sector, and students practice shock in the meeting with the industry. Students face a hard and tough environment where it is expected that it will suffer a great deal of harassment and degrading treatment as part of a tradition. There seems to be a general but erroneous belief that the professional climate has improved. The study shows that this is not the case. The respondents replied that bullying is common in the industry, and 92% of vocational teachers indicated that students are affected by a practice shock. The study shows that the industry climate has to be tough, but it is stated at the same time be too tough. Schools management lacks understanding and insight into the unique professional culture that prevails.

Sammanfattning

Yrkeskulturen i hotell och restaurangbranschen.

En fara för lärlingar och elever?

Studien grundar sig på en enkätundersökning riktad mot 50 yrkeslärare med god geografisk spridning på 9 skolor. Lärarna svarar på frågor om mobbning och sexuella trakasserier i hotell och restaurangbranschen samt elevernas praktikchock i mötet med branschen. Eleverna står inför en hård och tuff miljö där det förväntas att man skall utstå mycket mobbning och kränkande behandling som en del av en tradition. Det tycks råda en allmän men felaktig uppfattning om att branschklimatet blivit bättre, studien visar att så inte är fallet. De tillfrågade yrkeslärarna svarade att mobbing är vanligt förekommande i branschen och 92% av yrkeslärarna uppger att elever drabbas av en praktikchock. Studien visar att branschklimatet måste vara tufft men det uppges samtidigt vara allt för tufft. Skolornas ledning saknar förståelse och insikt i den särpräglade branschkulturen som råder.

Abstract:

This dissertation argues that bullying is a fundamental response to bullies’ feelings of insecurity. Past research has found factors associated with bullying to include socioeconomic status and propensities towards violent behavior. Contextual factors posited here that produce the feelings of insecurity, which lead to bullying, include peer group dynamics, school climates, and teaching.

In relationship to peer groups, the theoretical framework of this dissertation draws primarily from the theories of Robert E. Crosnoe and Dorte M. Sondergaard. The assumption is that students are socially embedded in peer groups in which they struggle for social status (Crosnoe 2011) and in many cases experience the threat of social marginalization (Sondergaard 2012). Sondergaard, in particular, theorizes that the more insecure students feel about their social status in peer groups, the more likely they are to resort to bullying behavior.

All multivariate analyses in this dissertation are limited to white, black, and Latino boys. The resulting sample comprises N=6,491 student observations nested within 153 schools. The nested sampling structure requires multi-level modeling (MLM) for the calculation of unbiased estimates.

I find that individual-level student background characteristics are stronger predictors of bully identification than the school context, as measured by student body composition and teaching style factors. In addition, social status insecurity is a mediating factor for many of the student- and school-level predictors of bullying.

The dissertation distinguishes four types of schools, each of which is above or below average on two major dimensions. The first dimension is academic support (i.e., how caring and responsive teachers are), while the other is academic press (i.e., how strict and demanding they are).

I find that black male students are more likely to self-identify as bullies in schools that are below average on both academic support and academic press, compared to those that are above average on both. The pattern for Latino boys is different. For them, self-reported bullying is higher when the school rates high on academic support, but low on academic press.

I find no statistically significant role for teaching styles in predicting the amount of bully identification among white males.

Abstract:

This thesis addresses both the discourse and dynamics of workplace sexual harassment and bullying, and on this basis develops an analysis of the relationship between these discourses, a topic which has hitherto been unexamined. My analysis builds upon a review of literature on workplace sexual harassment and bullying from 1979 to 1997. The emergence of the workplace bullying discourse in UK trade union publications, the media and self-help texts is traced. Empirical data based on interviews is used to explore three themes: (i) the characters of the workplace sexual harassment and bullying discourses; (ii) men's and women's experiences of workplace bullying and sexual harassment; and (iii) how both the workplace bullying and sexual harassment of men and women is underpinned by gender prejudice. My main data source is sixty men's and women's accounts of cross-sex or same-sex workplace bullying and/or sexual harassment in professional/managerial and subordinate jobs, produced in fifty qualitative, in-depth interviews and ten questionnaires. I show that many women embrace the workplace sexual harassment discourse to condemn unwanted male sexual conduct and many workers deploy the workplace bullying discourse to problematise a range of experiences previously understood as parts of the social relations of work. My data reveals that workplace bullying is often a campaign in which allegations of poor work performance are used to encourage an unwanted employee to resign and/or to set him or her up for dismissal. I demonstrate that the workplace sexual harassment and bullying of men and women is gendered: men are sexually harassed when they fail to conform to ideals of hegemonic masculinity and men and women are bullied by line managers because they do not appear to conform to normatively defined gender roles. My argument is that while men's and women's experiences of workplace bullying and sexual harassment might be conceptualised together as examples of 'abuse of power', the specificities of workplace sexual harassment and bullying must remain visible. As such, I propose conceptualising men's and women's experiences of workplace bullying and sexual harassment as a continuum to highlight the similarities and differences between these experiences.

Abstract:

Everyday thousands of children and teenagers live through the hell of bullying. This theoretical research essay describes analyses and gives a literature overview of the phenomenon of bullying from eight different ideal-typical aspects based on Max Weber’s concept of Ideal types as a tool to make text analysis. The essay also investigates and compares three studies with focus on what methodological tools the researchers have employed to come to their conclusions. With the results from this investigation the research essay discusses possible explanations to why results, conclusions and understanding on the self-concept and self-esteem of perpetrators of bullying are so contradictory between researchers. Findings suggest that differences in gender in the sample, sample-size and age-group variations could be possible explanations to why results differ between studies. The essay discusses bullying from a power theory perspective and presents thoughts on how such a perspective could be employed in future research. It also suggests more research in the sociological discipline and investigations on a contextual and organisational level considering that the present study has shown that the academic field of bullying have not been researched to a great extent from this perspective.

Abstract:

Previous studies have established that for some people a typical day at work starts with immense feelings of distress, anxiety and irritability caused by workplace bullying. Not only does bullying behaviour in the workplace have a negative impact on a person’s professional life, but it is also detrimental to the effectiveness of the organisation. A survey focussing on the perceived exposure to bullying and victimisation in the workplace was administered to a sample of 159 employees employed by a mine in Mpumalanga. The results uncovered that more than a quarter of the participants reported that they had experienced workplace bullying. The study also discovered that line managers experienced more negative acts than senior managers. While those who only experience a brief spell of bullying behaviour at work survive their experience relatively unscathed, previous studies have also indicated that others are affected in a significant physical and psychological way. In conclusion this study determined that workplace bullying is an actual occurrence, not only internationally but also in South Africa. Employees and employers can therefore only benefit from understanding this unique workplace phenomenon. This article provides the opportunity for employed people to recognise the nature and prevalence of workplace bullying in order to prevent it from becoming a silent epidemic. Researchers generally accept that bullying is behaviour that is aggressive or negative and carried out repeatedly. Previous research established that bullying can occur in any context where people interact. This article open by synthesising a conceptual framework of negative acts as an interactive form of organisational behaviour from the available literature. Empirical research was done in order to investigate the prevalence of negative acts. The study found that more than a quarter of the participants had experienced bullying at some stage during their career with managers and supervisors predominantly reported as the perpetrators. The study also found that behaviour that tends to isolate individuals was generally reported as the most frequently experienced form of negative acts. By understanding workplace bullying both employers will be able to implement influence strategies aimed at dealing with this workplace phenomenon at levels of protection, intervention and dispute resolution. In conclusion it has been established that workplace bullying is not only a real problem in international workplaces, but also in South Africa. This means that employers not only have to cope with the consequences of employees performing badly but also behaving badly. This article presents an opportunity to understand negative behaviour in the workplace.
