Negotiating a safe changing process: Students’ experiences of (un)safety in school changing rooms
A scoping review of students’ changing room experiences in the context of physical education

Although there is a link between peer victimization, emotional symptoms, and disability or chronic condition in adolescence, less is known about the role of stable, individual differences compared to developmental processes.

Well-functioning class climate and classroom prevalence of bullying victims: A short-term longitudinal class-Level path analysis
While research on how classroom climate impacts students’ bullying behavior has increased over past decades, studies on how a well-functioning class climate may impact the classroom prevalence of victims of bullying are scarce.

Adults’ responses to bullying: The victimized youth’s perspectives
Children are generally encouraged to tell adults about bullying. Although telling can be effective in ending bullying, adults do not necessarily respond in a way that is helpful. Previous research has rarely included victims’ own thoughts and feelings regarding what adult actions and reactions are experienced as positive and helpful, and which are experienced as negative and unhelpful in managing bullying situations. This paper reports on intervi…
