Abstract:
The prevalence of bullying behaviors within a Catholic elementary school was assessed using the Teasing and Bullying Survey: School Version (TABS-S, Bodin, 2002). The TABS-S is a 35-item self-report instrument for grades 4 through 8 measuring the student’s experience of having been a bully, victim, or bystander. Parent (TABS-P) and teacher (TABS-T) versions were developed to parallel the student version. Descriptive analyses were used to evaluate the prevalence and type of bullying and teasing behaviors obtained from 147 students, 63 parents, and 9 teachers. The results of this study found that direct forms of bullying were more frequent, boys experienced a higher percentage, and both parents and teachers were aware of these behaviors.
