This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the association between early exposure to family violence, including domestic violence and child maltreatment, and later involvement in bullying perpetration and peer victimization, as well as the moderating role of school connectedness in this relationship. I conducted a secondary data analysis using data from the Fragile Family and Child Wellbeing Study (FFCWS), and examining a total of 1,630 cases. Controlling for demographic variables including childs gender, race/ethnicity, family income, and mothers age, I used two models separately to examine how childrens exposure to family violence at age three predicted their involvement in bullying perpetration and peer victimization at age nine, and how school connectedness moderated the effect of family violence on bullying-related behaviors. Using the Bioecological Theory of Human Development, I applied the Process-Person-Context-Time (PPCT) model to examine school bullying issues from a social-ecological perspective. My analysis indicated that, when demographic variables were controlled for, being exposed to family violence at age three significantly predicted bullying perpetration and peer victimization at age nine. Although the analysis did not find that school connectedness moderated the relationship between family violence and bullying, it showed a significant association between school connectedness and bullying-related behaviors. The studys findings suggest that addressing trauma-related issues may be crucial to addressing bullying issues, which indicates that school bullying needs to be addressed through a trauma-informed lens. I conclude this dissertation with a discussion of the studys findings, implications, strengths and limitations, and by making recommendations for future research.

This book was released on 2016-09-14 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bullying has long been tolerated as a rite of passage among children and adolescents. There is an implication that individuals who are bullied must have "asked for" this type of treatment, or deserved it. Sometimes, even the child who is bullied begins to internalize this idea. For many years, there has been a general acceptance and collective shrug when it comes to a child or adolescent with greater social capital or power pushing around a child perceived as subordinate. But bullying is not developmentally appropriate; it should not be considered a normal part of the typical social grouping that occurs throughout a child's life. Although bullying behavior endures through generations, the milieu is changing. Historically, bulling has occurred at school, the physical setting in which most of childhood is centered and the primary source for peer group formation. In recent years, however, the physical setting is not the only place bullying is occurring. Technology allows for an entirely new type of digital electronic aggression, cyberbullying, which takes place through chat rooms, instant messaging, social media, and other forms of digital electronic communication. Composition of peer groups, shifting demographics, changing societal norms, and modern technology are contextual factors that must be considered to understand and effectively react to bullying in the United States. Youth are embedded in multiple contexts and each of these contexts interacts with individual characteristics of youth in ways that either exacerbate or attenuate the association between these individual characteristics and bullying perpetration or victimization. Recognizing that bullying behavior is a major public health problem that demands the concerted and coordinated time and attention of parents, educators and school administrators, health care providers, policy makers, families, and others concerned with the care of children, this report evaluates the state of the science on biological and psychosocial consequences of peer victimization and the risk and protective factors that either increase or decrease peer victimization behavior and consequences.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the associated experiences of school bullying and violence among vulnerable and marginalized youth. It discusses the effects of diversity and disparities in youth’s experiences with bullying. Among these are socioeconomic and social status, family cohesion and interactions, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression, race, ethnicity, immigration, religion, and disabilities and special health needs. The book describes the ways in which a social-ecological framework can inform the problem and address school bullying. It addresses not only individual, intrapersonal, and environmental factors of bullying, but also discusses distal level factors and conditions that are specifically relevant to youth (e.g., culture and law). In addition, this volume contextualizes relevant multilevel factors that foster or inhibit bullying victimization among vulnerable and historically marginalized children and adolescents who are faced with cumulative social stratification. Key areas of coverage include: The role of the family (parents and guardians, siblings) – its cohesion and interactions – in school bullying. Race, ethnicity, immigration, and religion and school bullying of marginalized and at-risk youth. Victimization of students with physical, emotional, and learning disorders. Bullying and victimization of vulnerable youth in the court systems. School Bullying is an essential resource for researchers, clinicians and other practitioners, graduate students, and policymakers across such disciplines as child and school psychology, social work and counseling, pediatrics and school nursing, educational policy and politics, and all interrelated disciplines.

Download or read book School Bullying and Violence written by Gerald A. Juhnke and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-03-13 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: School cyberbullying, bullying and violence have reached epidemic levels. One in five school students report being bullied. Youth violence results in more than 475,000 nonfatal injuries per year and is the 3rd leading cause of death for young people ages 10-to-24. School Bullying and Violence: Interventions for School Mental Health Specialists provides critically important assessment and intervention information and strategies. Such information is essential when responding to bullying and school violence survivors. Equally important, and unique to this book, the authors address assessment and intervention protocols for bullying and violence school perpetrators. Suggested assessments and interventions are both practical and proactive. And, the authors skillfully utilize mini-case vignettes to demonstrate how to address survivor and perpetrator pressing issues, concerns, and needs. The text provides a thorough overview of helpful face-to-face clinical interviews and techniques designed to empower and protect survivors and stop perpetrators' bullying and violent behaviors. Mnemonics such as the 2WHO-SCAN and VIOLENT STUdent Scale augment the school mental health specialist's clinical judgement and promote higher probability toward favorable clinical intervention outcomes. Establishment of a school safety and risk committee is also outlined. Later chapters describe how to utilize Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychological First Aid and Systems of Care to help students and their families address both bullying and violent behaviors. The book serves as a much-needed reference for school mental health specialists who serve both bullying and violence survivors and perpetrators.
Download or read book The Development and Treatment of Childhood Aggression written by Kenneth H. Rubin and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2013-05-13 with total page 489 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comprised of papers and commentaries from the Earlscourt Symposium on Childhood Aggression held in Toronto, Canada, this volume reflects the Earlscourt Child and Family Centre's commitment to linking clinical practice to identifiable research-based interventions which are known to be effective in the prevention and treatment of antisocial behavior in children. The education of human services professionals has typically failed to train individuals to work with specific client populations, providing a generalist approach grounded in theoretical assumptions and professional values rather than research and empirical studies. This compelling book serves to fill this gap in professional education in the area of childhood aggression. Representing substantial accomplishments in the advancement of an understanding of the plight of aggressive children and how best to ameliorate their often unpredictable and painful situations, this text allows for cautious optimism that empirical research can have practical consequences for aggressive children and their prospects for a better life. As such, it is a truly important information resource for professionals in the fields of developmental psychology and counseling.
