Bullying im Klassenverband

Prävalenz, soziometrische und leistungsbezogene Merkmale der Participant Roles

Published Online:March 02, 2018https://doi.org/10.1026/0049-8637/a000179

Abstract

Zusammenfassung. In Anlehnung an den Participant-Role-Ansatz (Salmivalli, Lagerspetz, Björkqvist, Österman & Kaukiainen, 1996) wurde Bullying als Gruppenphänomen untersucht. Mittels Peer-Nominierung wurden an einer Stichprobe von 5 083 Sechst- und Neuntklässler_innen folgende Rollen identifiziert: Pro-Bullying-Akteure, Opfer, Verteidiger, Außenstehende und Bully-Opfer. Rund 55 % der Schülerinnen und Schüler konnte eine dieser Rollen zugeordnet werden. Es zeigt sich, dass der Anteil der Pro-Bullying-Akteure in den 9. Klassen geringer als in den 6. Klassen ist, nicht aber der Anteil der Opfer. Auch Verteidiger sind in Stufe 9 seltener zu finden. Die Gruppe der Pro-Bullying-Akteure besteht größtenteils aus Jungen, wohingegen die Verteidiger überwiegend weiblich sind. Pro-Bullying-Akteure zeichnen sich des Weiteren durch einen kontroversen Status im Klassenverband und schlechte Schulleistungen aus. Opfer haben einen geringen sozialen Status und durchschnittliche Zeugnisnoten. Verteidiger erweisen sich als äußerst beliebt und leistungsstark.


Bullying in the Classroom: Prevalence, Sociometric, and Achievement-Related Characteristics of the Participant Roles

Abstract. Based on the participant role approach (Salmivalli, Lagerspetz, Björkqvist, Österman, & Kaukiainen, 1996), bullying was investigated as a group phenomenon. The following roles were identified via peer nomination in a sample of 5, 083 sixth- and ninth-graders: pro-bullying role, victim, defender, outsider, and bully-victim. One of these roles could be assigned to about 55 % of the pupils. The proportion of pupils in a pro-bullying role, but not the proportion of victims, is smaller in Grade 9 than in Grade 6. Defenders are less frequent in Grade 9 as well. The majority of pupils in a pro-bullying role are boys, whereas most defenders are girls. Furthermore, pupils in a pro-bullying role are distinguished by their controversial status and weak academic achievement. Victims have a low sociometric status and average marks. Defenders prove to be very popular and high performing.
