ABSTRACT

We examined the tendency for high status children to bully their classmates. Children liked by peers only (LPO), liked by teachers only (LTO), liked by both (Both), liked by neither (Neither), and children with average peer and teacher liking (Average) were compared on self-, teacher-, and peer-reported bullying. Participants were 676 fourth-grade children (50.7% girls). Children in the Neither group evinced the highest level of bullying, which increased significantly from fall to spring. We found little evidence that children in the Both group differed from other groups or that their bullying increased over time. Self-reported physical bullying increased for boys in the LPO and Average groups and for girls in the LTO and Neither groups. Gender-specific findings have implications for researchers and practitioners.

摘要

我们研究了地位高的孩子欺负同学的趋势。对同伴和老师喜欢的孩子（仅对同伴喜欢的孩子（LPO），仅对老师喜欢的孩子（LTO），对两个孩子都喜欢（两者），都不喜欢（都不喜欢）和同伴和老师喜欢的孩子（平均））进行比较。 ，以及同行报告的欺凌行为。参与者为676个四年级儿童（50.7％的女孩）。这两个组中的儿童都没有表现出最高的欺凌水平，从秋季到春季，欺凌水平显着增加。我们几乎没有证据表明这两个组中的孩子都与其他组不同，或者随着时间的推移，他们的欺凌行为有所增加。LPO和Average组的男孩自我报告的身体欺凌现象有所增加，LTO和NTO组的女孩均没有自我报告身体欺凌的现象。性别特定的发现对研究人员和从业者具有影响。
