Evaluating the Be-Prox Anti-bullying program in Norwegian Early Childhood Education and Care Centers: Results from a Quasi-experimental Study
The Bernese program against victimization in kindergarten and elementary school (Be-Prox) is one of few interventions targeting aggressive acts and early bullying behavior in Early Childhood and Educational Care centers (ECECs). The current study evaluates the Be-Prox program in 16 Norwegian ECECs (N = 887). The frequency of children exposing peers to negative acts (perpetration) and of children being exposed to negative acts by peers (victimizat…
Self, peer, and teacher reports of victim‐aggressor networks in kindergartens
This study investigated if and how children and teachers differ in their assessment of victim-aggressor relationships in kindergartens. Self-, peer, and teacher reports of victimization-aggression networks (who is victimized by whom) were investigated in 25 Swiss kindergartens with 402 5- to 7-years-old. It was examined whether child characteristics (sex and parent-reported internalizing and externalizing behavior) influence informant reports of …
Peer victimisation and depressive symptoms: Can specific coping strategies buffer the negative impact of cybervictimisation?
This longitudinal study investigated whether cybervictimisation is an additional risk factor for depressive symptoms over and beyond traditional victimisation in adolescents. Furthermore, it explored whether certain coping strategies moderate the impact of cybervictimisation on depressive symptoms. A total of 765 Swiss seventh graders (mean age at time-point 1 (t1) = 13.18 years) reported on the frequency of traditional and cybervictimisation, an…
Longitudinal Risk Factors for Cyberbullying in Adolescence
Cyberbullying has emerged as a new form of antisocial behaviour in the context of online communication over the last decade. The present study investigates potential longitudinal risk factors for cyberbullying. A total of 835 Swiss seventh graders participated in a short‐term longitudinal study (two assessments 6 months apart). Students reported on the frequency of cyberbullying, traditional bullying, rule‐breaking behaviour, cybervictimisation, …
Does body mass index in childhood predict restraint eating in early adolescence
Gewalt in der Schule
Kindergartenkinder als Zeugen von Mobbing
In der vorliegenden Studie wurde untersucht, wie Kinder reagieren, wenn sie Zeugen von Mobbing werden. 968 Kinder aus 59 Kindergärten, in denen Mobbing stattfand, nahmen an der Studie teil. Es zeigten sich Alters- und Geschlechtseffekte bei Mobber- und Opfer-unterstützendem Zeugenverhalten sowie beim Ausmass an hilflosen Reaktionen. Zudem variierte das Zeugenverhalten in Abhängigkeit von der Mobbingrolle: Mobber zeigten mehr Mobber-unterstützende…
Body Dissatisfaction in Adolescent Boys and Girls: Objectified Body Consciousness, Internalization of the Media Body Ideal and Perceived Pressure from Media
Relationships amongst body dissatisfaction, internalisation of the media body ideal and perceived pressure from media in adolescent girls and boys
Social behavior and peer relationships of victims, bully‐victims, and bullies in kindergarten
Background: Although the prevalence of bully/victim problems in school‐age children and adolescents has been investigated in many countries, only a few studies have been carried out among younger children. This study examines social behaviors and peer relationships of children involved in bully/victim problems in kindergarten. Methods: Three hundred and forty‐four five‐ to seven‐year‐old children participated. Children were categorized as victims…
Stability of Global Self-Evaluations in Early Adolescence: A Cohort Longitudinal Study
This study is mainly concerned with the stability (i.e., relative longitudinal consistency) of individual differences in global self-esteem in early adolescence. In the first part, stability data from a large cohort longitudinal study were presented. Approximately 2,400 subjects were followed over 2 1/2 years, yielding a total of 4.2 stability coefficients. These coefficients were then compared with 21 stability coefficients from previously publi…
Assessment of Global Negative Self-Evaluations and Perceived Stability of Self in Norwegian Preadolescents and Adolescents
A special problem in the study of self-esteem is the use of quite different instruments for subjects at different age levels. In the present paper the primary goal was to construct a scale that could be used to assess global self-evaluations in children as well as in adolescents and adults. The scale presented (GSE) based mainly on Rosenberg's Self-Esteem Scale (RSE) was used in this study with 2478 children aged 10 to 15 years. A second goal was…
