Bullying an Grundschulen

Formen, Geschlechtsunterschiede und psychosoziale Korrelate

Published Online:August 11, 2009https://doi.org/10.1026/0033-3042.60.3.152

Abstract

Zusammenfassung. Bullying unter Grundschülern wurde in Bezug auf Geschlechts- und Altersunterschiede untersucht sowie einhergehende psychosoziale Probleme analysiert. Mittels eines neuen Bi-Informanden-Ansatzes (Selbst- und Lehrerbeurteilung) wurde Bullying unter 550 Kindern (Alter: 6;5 bis 10;8 Jahre) erfasst, zudem wurden emotionale und Verhaltensprobleme erhoben. Insgesamt wurden 10.0% aller Kinder als Täter identifiziert, 17.4% als Opfer und 16.5% als Täter-Opfer. Signifikante Geschlechtsunterschiede gab es bei direktem (physischen und verbalen) Bullying: Jungen waren häufiger Täter und Opfer. Indirektes/relationales Bullying trat v.a. innerhalb gleichgeschlechtlicher Gruppen auf, direktes Bullying wurde eher von und gegenüber Jungen angewandt. Bullying nahm mit dem Alter zu, Viktimisierung blieb stabil. Kovarianzanalysen bestätigten bei den identifizierten Tätern, Opfern und Täter-Opfern die spezifischen psychosozialen Probleme, wie sie aus der internationalen Bullyingforschung bekannt sind.


Bullying in primary schools: Forms, gender differences, and psychosocial correlates

Abstract. Bullying among primary school children was assessed with regard to gender and age differences, and co-occurring psychosocial problems were analyzed. Using a new bi-informant-approach (self- and teacher-report) bullying was assessed among 550 children (aged 6;5 to 10;8 years), in addition data on children’s emotional and behavioral problems was gathered. Overall, 10% of children were identified as bullies, 17.4% as victims and 16.5% as bully/victims. Significant gender differences were found for direct (physical and verbal) bullying: boys were more prevalent among bullies and victims than girls. Indirect/relational bullying occurred mainly within same-gender groups, direct bullying was employed by and towards boys rather than girls. Bullying increased with age, while victimization remained stable. For bullies, victims and bully/victims, analyses of co-variance confirmed the specific psychosocial problems known from international bullying research.
