BUILDING RESILIENCE TO BULLYING AND CYBERBULLYING VICTIMIZATION PROJECT (COMPLETED)

Funding Source: UCSB Academic Senate Research Grant (2017-2019)

 

In this project, we collaborate with the Delaware Positive Behavior Support Project and use the Delaware state-wide dataset to examine the association between different forms of bullying victimization (i.e., social, physical, verbal, and cyber) and student engagement across students, parents, and teachers' perspectives. We also examine the moderating effects of school climate, social-emotional competencies, and cultural factors in the association between bullying victimization on student engagement. The aim of the project is to identify malleable factors that could be altered in school-wide prevention and intervention programs to alleviate the negative influences of traditional and cyber bullying victimization on students' social, behavioral, and cognitive engagement in schools.
