Primary Sources: Is There More Than One Kind of Bullying? [NCFY.ACF.HHS.gov]

“Differentiating Youth Who Are Bullied From Other Victims of Peer-Aggression: The Importance of Differential Power and Repetition.” Michele L. Ybarra, Dorothy L. Espelage, and Kimberly J. Mitchell. Journal of Adolescent Health, Vol. 55 (2014).

What It’s About: Ybarra, Espelage and Mitchell consulted two recent youth surveys in search of patterns related to bullying, defined here as "repeated aggression... by a perpetrator who has more power than the victim." Since this difference in power is often thought of as the defining aspect of bullying, the authors wanted to see if the degree of that difference had any affect on victims' experience. The Teen Health and Technology survey, from 2011, included responses from nearly 6,000 youth ages 13 to 18. The Growing Up With Media study, from 2008, included over 1,200 young people ages 10 to 15.

Thank you, as this is a very helpful document that clarifies some of the key terms associated to the topic generally referred to as "bullying" research. I am working with a number of primary/research docs to bring to the K-12 market a number of online courses for educators/administrators that makes exactly these distinctions so that the actions/responses taken by professionals is the right response given the evidence/observation/data yet also asks the right questions to dig deeper.

The construct of the "bully-victim" is where these questions prove to be most helpful. Strategies to assist the often marginalized "bystander" also are a focal point of the series of online courses being developed.
