Grundschulmobbing

Mobbing in der Grundschule war immer ein Problem, das möglicherweise eher abgenommen hat, weil ihm mehr Aufmerksamkeit gewidmet wird - auch in großen und teuren Untersuchungen.

"Conclusions

The findings of this study demonstrate the power of classroom norms. Our results support the idea that antibullying interventions should, indeed, include universal actions (i.e., activities that target the whole school class). Also, although our study did not evaluate teacher-effects, it is important to consider teachers’ beliefs about bullying and their actions in bullying situations (e.g., Kochenderfer- Ladd & Pelletier, 2008), inasmuch as teachers are likely to affect student views of and actions against bullying. By studying how multiple individual and contextual factors operate together we can become better equipped to improve existing antibullying interventions and thereby improve the plight of children who suffer from negative actions by their classmates."
