Correlational Research

All three forms of bullying affect one’s self-esteem affecting the involvement with family. Bullying annihilates a person’s self-esteem during

bullying and low self esteem. "Previous research on traditional bullying among adolescents has found a relatively

In recent years, bullying has gained attention due to school shootings and the increased awareness of mental illnesses. It has led people wanting to know why people become bullies and why others become victims of bullying. To answer those questions, it is important to look at bullying from a sociological perspective.It shows what behavioral patterns and norms occur between individuals and their society that leads to bullying.

Having a valid test survey can help to evaluate the attitudes students have about bullying in their school to help solve the bullying issues within the school. The survey that was designed seeks to provide a voice to the students in regards to the bullying in their schools in order to prevent and stop future bullying.

The purpose of this study is to identify the most prevalent forms of bullying on a high school campus and identify which strategies are most effective to prevent or respond to bullying. The study will also identify the most effective strategies to improve student achievement and attendance for those students who have experienced bullying. Students must feel safe to learn. Students who are bullied have a propensity to avoid the bullies; therefore, they choose not to attend school. Poor attendance often will result in poor grades and even dropping out of school.

Therefore the current findings may not be applicable to those students who exhibit more extreme problem behaviors. The research focus on verbal and physical bullying behavior, but other forms of bullying also exist. They include relational bullying and cyber bullying.

For my correlational design I will recruit adolescence from large cities across the Midwest region who have reported being bullied throughout their middle school years. Students in grades 6-8 will be given questionnaires asking them to rate the behaviors of their peers regarding peer pressure, negative comments, and personal harassment generated toward themselves. To ensure a

"Correlation is a measure of association that tests whether a relationship exists between two variables. It indicates both the strength of the association and its direction (direct or inverse). The Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient, written as r, can describe a linear relationship between two variables" Correlation (n.d). As a human service professional and completing research there are advantages and disadvantages to correlational research methods, such as using correlational research it allows us to collect data and determine the strength and direction of what it is we

Her hypotheses is basically saying that the effects on a child's self-esteem can be devastating long after the bullying stops. What she found out is that the effects of bullying on a child's self-esteem would result in loss of confidence, self-criticism or rejection, bed-wetting, and isolation. Loss of confidence is one of the first effects of bullying on a child's self-esteem which also could be self-doubt. Self-criticism or rejection is when children are constantly belittled about something they come to believe is the truth about themselves. Bed-wetting is one of the more subtle effects of bullying on a child's self-esteem. Isolation is when a child self esteem become severely damaged and he or she may choose to avoid friends and family all together. The research flaw I found is stated that "children should be taught that everyone is different in one way or another and that what makes the human species so exciting" this would be somewhat wrong because even if a child is taught that way they could still use that and another way for bullying someone because of their differences. This research influenced my thinking about my own research because it was brought to my attention that a child can be affected in different ways that a person wouldn't pay attention

The purpose of research is to establish the offer information in order to pace focus on the growth of active intervention. There are many psychological theories that discuss uses and adapt ideas aimed to understanding peer bullying. All of them have different ecological levels and different stages of process that discusses it in terms of relational dynamic power. Other researcher would say it is probably safe to say the better focus is the different causes and entire approach to bullying. Researchers need to focus more into the intervention regardless of the plan of action, the age of the adolescents and social awareness.

I will start by describing the biological dimensions of bullying victims, perpetrators, and bully-victims. Carpanzo et al. (2011) asserts that there are gender differences in bullying. While both biological genders participate equally in relational and physical aggression according to the study, physical aggression is more common in boys but relational aggression is equal between the sexes. Bullying was more stable across a two-year period and weighed more heavily on individual personality characteristics with the males in the study and girls were more influenced into participating in bullying behavior by social norms. A study by Fu et al. (2012) examined bullying victimization in twelfth graders between 1989 and 2009. The study aimed to find repetitive risk factors concerning socioeconomic status and behavioral characteristics. The result of the study

The information was then evaluated by experts, reliability and validity were both determined. From the results, it was determined that students want to see teachers take an active role in eliminating bullying behavior from the classrooms and the students feel that it is more helpful if teachers teach kids strategies on how to stop bullies from targeting them as well as, communication involving both parents of the bullies and victims (Crothers et al, 2006). Rigby's (2008) study found, in a later study, several ways to empower children in how to deal with bullies when the bully targets them. In a similar study, more recently, Espelage, Polin and Low (2014) had found that teachers' are more likely to intervene in a bullying situation when the student reported the bullying incidence to them (Espelage, Polin, & Low, 2014). In other words, students want to see teachers proactive in dealing with bullying, students also want to be empowered through training to deal with the bully, and they strongly find it helpful that some form of contact is made to the parents of the bully and their own

Before conducting my research I made several predictions most based of the other’s data or studies in the field. Most of my data and collected information came from HBSC.org, which is a world health organization collaborative cross nation survey. HBSC has research various components of bullying and the effects if any on children. The information was collected over a wide time span. The HBSC collects data every four years on 11-, 13- and 15-year-old boys' and girls' health and well-being, social environments and health behaviors in 43 countries. They gather the data in the form of a survey given to children ages 11-15 both boy and girl participants.

With all schools talking about bullying and the media regularly reporting on latest research, it could seem like we're in a bullying epidemic. But, it's not all bad - the incidence of
