- Abstract:
- Literature on bullying suggests that the majority of children will commit, observe, or experience some form of bullying at least once in their lifetime (Eslea & Smith, 1998). The current study is an extension of a prior study conducted in 2003 that identified the extent, frequency and type of teasing and bullying that occurred prior to intervention within a parochial elementary school in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. Additional analyses were used to further evaluate the program using archival data collected in 2005, two years following intervention. The data set contains teasing and bullying responses derived from The Teasing and Bullying Survey: School Version (TABS) for students, teachers and parents and was collected before and after the implementation of the program in 4th through 8th grades. Data collected in 2005 is comprised of 160 students, 48 parents, and 14 teachers. Parents indicated that they had one or more children enrolled in one or more grades (PreK-3 - 8 ). Teachers spanned across all grade levels. Overall, results indicate that there was a non-significant reduction in teasing and bullying. Results from this study are expected to contribute to the literature that addresses the effectiveness of intervention programs that are designed to decrease school bullying.
