Gender, Bullying Victimization, and Education

Abstract

School bullying has detrimental consequences for its victims, including undermining students' educational outcomes. Furthermore, gender has been shown to play a significant role in determining the type of bullying victimization experienced and educational outcomes. This research examines whether an interaction between gender and bullying victimization exists as well as its impact on educational outcomes (i.e., academic self-efficacy and educational achievement). Multivariate regression analyses, drawing on the Educational Longitudinal Study of 2002, reveal that the interaction between gender and bullying victimization is linked to disparate educational outcomes. The findings and their implications are discussed regarding understanding the relationship between gender, bullying victimization, and education.

Aggressive and Violent Behavior and Emotional Self‐Efficacy: Is There a Relationship for Adolescents?

“…Self‐efficacy beliefs are among the most important determinants of behavior, as the incentive to take action is diminished if an adolescent does not believe that they have the capability to perform and coordinate actions necessary to produce results . The significance of self‐efficacy is underscored by research that identifies strong links between efficacy beliefs and important domains of human functioning, including mental health outcomes, physical health outcomes, and academic achievement …”
