“…Thus, the identification of a motivation for weight loss to avoid provocation and bullying can favor the integrality of health care, when considering psychological and social factors in the treatment for weight loss in the adolescent population [3]. Furthermore, the identification of this motivation can contribute to the establishment of inter-sectoral measures, including those related to schools, for the promotion of healthy relationships based on respect for human dignity, cultural diversity, and the plurality of ideals and thoughts, and not related to body weight or shape of adolescents [40,41].…”

Objective To develop and validate the content of an instrument for assessing the motivation for weight loss in adolescents with overweight and obesity. Methods The development and validation of the instrument were conducted in five stages, for which two systematic reviews were conducted. The first one, for the identification of questionnaires assessing the motivation for weight loss, included six studies and contributed to the selection of the domains for the instrument. The second one, conducted to identify the motivations for weight loss in adolescents with overweight and/or obesity, included six studies and contributed to the selection of 17 motivations included in the initial version of the instrument. The motivations most commonly identified were: having better health, improving my appearance, improving my self-esteem and avoiding bullying. The content validity was confirmed by a committee of 12 experts from the areas of nutrition, endocrinology, psychology, and physical education. Based on these evaluations, the content validity index was calculated. Only the items with a content validity index >0.80 for practical relevance were held in the instrument. Results Five of the 17 motivations included in the initial version of the instrument were excluded because they had content validity index <0.80 for practical relevance. Of the 12 items held in the instrument, five were revised by experts in order to standardize wording and make the language more appropriate for adolescents. Experts categorized the items into the health, personal satisfaction, appearance and social domains. Conclusions This is the first instrument assessing the motivation for weight loss in adolescents with overweight and obesity in Brazil. The content validity evaluation by the panel of experts provided more practical relevance, as well as contributed to a better presentation of the items. Further psychometric testing is needed to determine reliability and construct validity of the instrument.

“…Definitions. When translated into policy language for determining responses to particular behavior, the terms in which bullying is defined must be broad enough to address the realities of the school setting (Dayton & Proffitt Dupre, 2009). This means that the various forms that bullying behavior can take should be reflected in the language.…”

“…A structure must be in place for regular monitoring, enforcement, and follow-up. For example, Dayton and Proffitt Dupre (2009) suggest that antibullying initiatives include mandatory reporting requirements, assigned enforceable duties for school officials, a balance between discipline and counseling for those who bully, reasonable parental responsibility and involvement, and antibullying training for all school personnel. Explicit roles for teachers should also be included; teachers have the most contact with students and are in position to carry out most of the monitoring in the school.…”

While the conceiving of 21st-century schools has rightly included much discussion on curriculum and instruction, changing demands and conditions also present necessary changes in the way that student behavior is managed. A review of the literature on student discipline over the past decade reveals three particular issues that warrant attention in the context of adapting to changes among and around the students we serve: bullying and harassment, the discipline gap (the disparity in disciplinary consequences between White and non-White students), and zero-tolerance policy (the use of strict predetermined consequences in response to offenses regardless of the circumstances surrounding the event). For each issue, central concerns are discussed along with implications for policy and practice. To conclude, two common themes that run through these issues are described-namely, the importance of context and the need for student-centered approaches.
