Key Findings
1
Bullying is presented as a social-ecological phenomenon shaped by interacting individual, peer, classroom, school, family, and community contexts.
2
Effective prevention and intervention require coordinated school, teacher, peer, family, and home-school approaches, supported by appropriate outcome measures.
3
Empathy, caring, internalizing problems, social support, and family relationships are identified as important factors associated with bullying, victimization, and bully-victim status.
4
Gender differences in bullying require analyses beyond mean-level comparisons, indicating potentially complex patterns across roles and behaviors.
5
Peers and classroom ecologies can either reinforce or discourage aggression, bullying, dominance, and victimization during school transitions.
