JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS’ NORMATIVE BELIEFS CONCERNING SCHOOL BULLYING
Journal Title: Szkoła Specjalna - Year 2014, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
In numerous studies on aggression and violence in school, the spread of peer violence is thoroughly analyzed; however, students’ beliefs and attitudes to such behaviors – as an important aspect of the phenomenon being discussed – are the subject of empirical research considerably less often. Normative beliefs significantly regulate actions taken by an individual through an assessment of social consent to or prohibition of a given behavior. The empirical study the author conducted and reports on in this article was aimed at describing junior high students’ normative beliefs concerning behaviors connected with school bullying. School bullying is a specific type of peer violence where the bully ora group of bullies harasses the victim persistently and repetitively.The study included 214 second- and third-graders from five junior high schools. For the needs of this study, the author designed her own tool based on the Attitudes towards Bulling Scale (Salmivalli, Voeten 2004). The study showed that the majority of the students expressed disapproving beliefs regarding peer violence. In addition, the degree to which individual beliefs were connected to the students’ sex was determined. The boys expressed pro-aggressive beliefs to a greater extent than the girls, who were more open to helping another person and sympathized with the victim.The data collected and presented in the article may be the base for further studies concerning peer violence in school or other social phenomena related to it.
