Correlates of traditional bullying and cyberbullying perpetration among Australian students

“…And most research has focused on the risk factors for a student becoming a victim of traditional bullying (Champion & Clay, 2007;O'Brennan & Furlong, 2010). While some studies have explored only the antecedents for perpetrators of traditional bullying (Cook, Williams, Guerra, Kim, & Sadek, 2010;Espelage & De La Rue, 2013), others have examined the risk factors for traditional bullying perpetration along with cyberbullying perpetration (Erdur-Baker, 2010;Hemphill et al, 2012). However, to build a profile of students who bully their peers, there is still a need to examine the correlates of all forms of bullying perpetration in an integrated model to determine the interplay between correlates, such as age, gender, trait anger, moral disengagement, interparental conflict, school connectedness and the religious makeup of the school setting.…”
