Abstract This article, the first empirical study of its kind, presents findings from a larger qualitative study of principal mistreatment of teachers. A grounded theory method was used to study a sample of 50 U.S. teachers who were subjected to long-term mistreatment from school principals. The authors discuss descriptive and conceptual findings about principals' actions that, over the long term, teachers define as mistreatment/abuse. In addition, this article briefly describes some of the harmful effects of principal mistreatment/abuse on teachers, psychologically/emotionally and physically/physiologically. Implications of study findings for further research are discussed.

Abstract On April 20, 1999, two angry students attacked Columbine High School. The unprecedented murder/suicide resulted in 15 deaths, more than 20 injuries, and thousands of psychologically traumatized individuals. We present a qualitative analysis of interviews conducted two weeks after the incident with 4 Columbine High School students and 7 parents who were directly and indirectly affected. Findings highlight both similarities and variability in immediate emotional, cognitive, and social responses to the mass violence. Helpful and unhelpful support attempts are noted. Implications of the media's heavy involvement in sensational traumas are discussed, emphasizing important considerations for future research on the psychological effects of school violence.

Abstract Factors influencing women's perceptions of a sexually hostile work environment including job type, gender mix of work contacts, level of resourcefulness, and perception of male work contacts' attitudes toward women were investigated to determine their relationship with perceptions of a sexually hostile work environment. One hundred seventy-seven working women participated in this investigation. Results suggest that a woman's job type and the gender mix of those with whom she works do not significantly influence her perception of a sexually hostile work environment. Rather, the more that women perceive their male work contacts as having traditional attitudes toward women and the less personally resourceful the women are, the more likely they are to perceive a sexually hostile work environment.

Abstract Bullying is a serious problem affecting students nationwide with up to 15% reporting regular bullying. This article discusses the characteristics of bullies and the impact of bullying on victims. “No Bullying Allowed Here” is a school-wide program for elementary schools. Lesson plans cover characteristics of bullies and victims, responding techniques, problem solving, perspective taking, and empathy. Students completed surveys prior to instruction and at the end of the year. Chi-square analysis shows significant changes in the reported frequency of bullying and associated behaviors. Changes in frequencies across all categories are distributed in a manner that is significantly different from what would be expected in the population. Students reported far less bullying and fear about being bullied after instruction in prevention techniques.

Abstract Acts of workplace aggression by coworkers take a tremendous toll on organizations and their employees. This paper explores the thought processes used by aggressive individuals to rationalize hostile behaviors and discusses various types of workplace aggression. This paper also presents a new personality test, the Conditional Reasoning Test of Aggression, which addresses some of the shortcomings of self-report personality tests that have traditionally been used to identify and screen out aggressive applicants.

Abstract Workplace violence covers a wide range of phenomena. There is a need for a definition that establishes boundaries between violence and other injurious behaviors while still encompassing a continuum of behaviors related directly to violence, from verbal abuse to institutionalized harassment, to fatal violence itself. Although the articles in the current volume attest to the fact that there is a continuum of phenomena that may lead to violence, and that personality factors are important in the development of preventative approaches, the articles make the equally powerful argument that system-level factors, such as the use of power and the level of communication and collaboration between stakeholders, are of crucial importance in the genesis and prevention of destructive behaviors. A system level of analysis is proposed through which implications for policy and practice can usefully be derived.

Abstract Current research shows that emotional abuse has been under researched within the classroom and yet it is now considered to be the most devastating form of child abuse. The main objectives of the present study are to determine who the perpetrators of emotional abuse are, and why some teachers emotionally abuse pupils in Zimbabwean primary schools. The Teacher Trainees and Pupil Questionnaires were administered to randomly selected samples of teachers and teacher trainees, and Form One pupils, respectively. This was a retrospective study because teacher trainees were required to recall their experiences about why some teachers emotionally abuse their pupils in schools. Results clearly show that emotional abuse of pupils by teachers is a now reality in Zimbabwean primary schools.

Abstract Workplaces throughout the United States are struggling to understand and address the issue of workplace violence. The Workplace Action Team of The Initiatives for Violence-Free Families and Communities in Ramsey and Hennepin Counties, Minnesota, is a group of Minneapolis-St. Paul professionals who have worked together since 1990 to create and implement tools that work, having built them around a comprehensive strategy of developing violence-free, respectful work environments. The purpose of this article is to describe the community-wide partnership that the Workplace Action Team represents, outline the principles the team has developed that underscore respectful, violence-free work environments, and demonstrate the tools and strategies that are beginning to make a difference in workplaces in the Minne-apolis-St. Paul metropolitan area.

Abstract Workplace violence, in its many forms, constitutes a form of abuse that affects the mental health of victims by creating stress that ultimately becomes overwhelming. One of the most difficult and debilitating aspects of workplace abuse is that the victim is often seen as the problem and may take responsibility for the abuse. This paper examines two forms of workplace abuse, “bullying” and “mobbing,” and offers suggestions for recognizing these forms of abuse. The paper concludes that organizations must have in place processes and procedures to address workplace abuse not only to protect its workers but also because it is in their financial self-interest to do so.
