Results indicate that bullying and victimization are mediated by peer group influences.
Bullies use aggression to gain social dominance and are generally viewed positively by their peers. The study is supported by the WT Grant Foundation and will be completed in 2001. The system will provide aggregated site information back to the sites as well as overall information about all the sites. The project participants are presently designing evaluation instruments and developing data collection strategies. Instruments include surveys, observation protocols, and artifact analyses.
