Abstract
Abstract Research on the prevalence of bullying behavior historically has varied greatly. This is in part due to the multiple methods and assessments used to determine prevalence. Rates of self-report bullying varied between 9% and 98%. None of the results of self-report bullying include online survey research. Using an online survey program Adolescents (ages 14–18) were surveyed about bullying behavior and aggression. 20.2% of adolescents self-reported that they engage in bullying behaviors toward others and 27.1% of adolescents endorsed items that indicate aggressive thoughts or behaviors toward others. This study utilized an online survey program, providing adolescents more anonymity, and providing a random sample of adolescents' self-reports of bullying behavior and aggression.
期刊介绍:
With a new publisher (Taylor & Francis) and a new editor (David L. Wodrich), the Journal of Applied School Psychology will continue to publish articles and periodic thematic issues in 2009. Each submission should rest on either solid theoretical or empirical support and provide information that can be used in applied school settings, related educational systems, or community locations in which practitioners work. Manuscripts appropriate for publication in the journal will reflect psychological applications that pertain to individual students, groups of students, teachers, parents, and administrators. The journal also seeks, over time, novel and creative ways in which to disseminate information about practically sound and empirically supported school psychology practice.
