What Are the Children from Different Social-Economic Backgrounds’ Experiences of School Bullying in China?

Abstract

This essay is a proposal for a qualitative research. The research aimed to explore the experiences of school bullying among children from different socioeconomic backgrounds in China. Using semi-structured interviews, a diverse sample of children aged 10-15 was purposively selected across urban and rural areas. Thematic analysis revealed recurring patterns and themes within the data, highlighting the complexities of bullying within various social-economic contexts. It emphasizes the need for targeted interventions that consider the specific challenges faced by children from diverse socioeconomic contexts. By understanding the nuances of bullying within different social-economic backgrounds, policymakers and educators can develop comprehensive anti-bullying policies and programs that foster safe and inclusive educational environments for all children.
