Student Bullying and Victimization in Grades 3–8

Ω

This REL Northwest study, Student-Reported Overt and Relational Aggression and Victimization in Grades 3–8, examined aggression, victimization, and approval of aggression among elementary and middle grades students in two Oregon counties. Data for the study were collected in 2005 through surveys; participation was voluntary. Students reported on beliefs about aggression, how frequently they were the victims or the perpetrators of either overt aggression (verbal and physically aggressive behavior intended to threaten or physically harm another student) or relational aggression (behaviors intended to harm another student’s relationships with others).

This study found that for students in grades 3-8, boys reported more overt victimization, overt aggression, and relational aggression than did girls; however, no significant differences were found in relational victimization reported by boys and girls. The study includes detailed summaries of students’ responses to specific questions about victimization and bullying.
