Bullying has been the focus of much attention in middle schools and high schools. There have been many bullying prevention programs implemented nationwide in the past twenty years. Many models have been produced following the first, which was implemented in Norway in 1983 (Ttofi & Farrington, 2010). However, due to the fact that cyberbullying did not exist 20 years ago, many of these prevention programs have not evolved to combat current problems. This research project sought to understand the prevalence and perception of bullying events in middle and high school students. This study is a between-subjects design. Students were asked to rate the severity of various bullying scenarios (featuring verbal, physical, cyberbullying, or no bullying). Results indicate that physical bullying is interpreted as the most severe form of bullying. The results also suggest education does not have an effect on participants’ incidences of reporting being a bully or a victim. Further, the results did not suggest that the sex of the bully or victim has an affect on participants' interpretations of severity. 2015-04-28 English text Marietta College Honors Theses / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=marhonors1430096196 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=marhonors1430096196 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
