Using data collected before and during the pandemic from representative samples of eighth graders, we explored differences in cyberbullying victimization, including factors in students’ daily lives that may contribute to cyberbullying, before and during COVID-19 through a routine activity lens. We found that students were more likely to experience cyberbullying during the pandemic than before and that parental guardianship, target visibility, and characteristics of victims help explain this difference. These findings add to our understanding of the unequal impact the pandemic may have on different groups while underlining the importance of parental guardianship and collaborative intervention.","PeriodicalId":47428,"journal":{"name":"Journal of School Violence","volume":"22 1","pages":"517 - 528"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49060000","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Framed by the Integrative Peace Theory, the study provided answers to three research questions. The qualitative research design was employed, and data was collected with semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions. Participants were comprised of learners, teachers, principals, and a project manager of a non-governmental organization. A thematic content analysis with an iterative process was employed for analysis of data collected. Findings revealed that there is a reduction in reported cases of school violence and three basic strategies were found to be employed by schools to ensure relative peace and a reduction in school-based violence. Time constraints and societal influence were found to be the potential barriers for effective peace education and sustenance of peace in secondary schools. Based on the findings, appropriate recommendations were offered.","PeriodicalId":47428,"journal":{"name":"Journal of School Violence","volume":"22 1","pages":"556 - 568"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47767173","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study explored the content of Title IX sexual misconduct policies for 200 universities in the U.S. specifically assessing if the content is in line with the Title IX regulations set forth by the Trump administration. The results revealed that there were certain areas of high transparency, where the policies inform the students in-depth about their Title IX sexual misconduct procedure (e.g. confidentiality, how and where to report, standard of proof). However, there were notable gaps where the policies require further details in order to fully inform their stakeholders (e.g. cross-examination, rape shield provisions). Given the importance of having a comprehensive Title IX policy, future research and recommendations for improving schools’ Title IX policies are discussed.","PeriodicalId":47428,"journal":{"name":"Journal of School Violence","volume":"22 1","pages":"442 - 457"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45512330","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results show that an increase in the total number of school safety policies – as well as specific types of school safety policies (i.e. armed security personnel and student search practices) – are associated with lower perceptions of school safety for Youth of Color relative to White youth.

School violence perpetrators have ruminated angrily. Research measures and personal accounts of anger rumination often contain revenge-planning as a subtheme, the relevance of which has received insufficient attention in accounting for aggressive behavior. This study differentially examines anger rumination with and without revenge-thinking, testing for their differential effects in association with aggression and life satisfaction. In a sample of 340 undergraduates, anger rumination (without revenge-thinking) was not significantly associated with self-reported physical or verbal aggression, while revenge-thinking was, controlling for gender and anger disposition. However, anger rumination, but not revenge-thinking, was associated with poorer life satisfaction.

The main objective of this research is to study the incidence of bullying on the academic performance of students in schools in the Madrid Region. The databases used are those of Competency Tests, a census evaluation carried out on all 10th grade students in Madrid during the year 2017 (almost 32.000 students). To analyze these data, we carry out a multilevel methodological approach to identify the quantitative association of bullying with academic performance and to estimate the probability that performance is affected by the level of bullying that exists in the school. The results indicate that bullying has a negative correlation with all the competencies evaluated and that bullying can affect students with low or high academic achievement in different ways, depending on what competency is evaluated.","PeriodicalId":47428,"journal":{"name":"Journal of School Violence","volume":"22 1","pages":"322 - 338"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45721379","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on a sample of 40,772 children from the International Survey of Children’s Well-Being, results posit that the link between family financial stress and bullying victimization is mediated by peer relationship, and this mediation is further moderated by teacher – student relationship. Specifically, the direct effect of family financial stress on bullying victimization decreases as the quality of teacher – student relationship increases. Moreover, the effect of peer relationship on bullying victimization is also moderated by teacher – student relationship, with the effect being weaker for children reporting high levels of teacher – student relationship. This study contributes to current understanding of the mediation and moderation through which family economic conditions are linked with bullying victimization.
