  3. Statement of Problem • Teasing and bullying is a problem with school aged children, no matter what type of school it is. The problem is increasingly growing. Students at school X are constantly complaining about the behavior of other students towards them and nothing is done about it. The purpose of this research/study is to find out can a bully change their behavior for the better toward his/her peers?

  4. Review of Literature • Teachers can have openness in their classrooms, as one way to combat bullying. If a classroom has openness, bullies will have a hard time finding victims and keeping the victims quiet. (Scarpaci, 2006) • Literature also suggests that families should have a role in combating the issue of bullying. It all starts from home. (Georgiou, 2008) • The way families interact with one another (mom, dad, siblings) can all lead to bullying issues. (Duncan, 2009; Menesini, 2009; Watkins, 2009; Bullying in schools, n.d.) • Victims feel helpless and powerless. (Cillessen, 2009; Graham, 2009; Strohmeier, 2009; Watkins, 2007)

  5. Review of Literature • There are a number of intervention programs out for bullies, victims, etc. People need to do the interactions. The time and effort is not put into the programs to help resolve the issue. (Marini, 2009; Craig & Pepler, 2009; What kind of school programs should I advocate for to stop bullying at my child's school?,n.d.) • Witnesses only add to the problem of bullying. Even if they are only standing and watching the act while it is ongoing. (Craig & Pepler, 2009; Strohmeier, 2009)

  6. Review of Literature • Pros: • Trying to combat the issue of bullying • Cons: • Teachers/school staff do not have the time to address the issue of bullying. • Teachers are not properly trained on how to deal with bullies. • Victims do not tell others they are being bullied.

  7. Statement of Hypothesis • HR 1- 15 students in Sunday School X, in Jamaica, Queens will show a positive change after treatment. There will be a decrease in the teasing and bullying of students by students. Students will not feel helpless anymore against their bully.

  8. Methods • Participants • The participants included 15 students. They ranged from the ages of 10-11 years old. They included six males and nine females. Their grades in regular public school is 4th, and 5th grade. In the Sunday school they are at a level 2. The ethnic breakdown of these students is as follows: • 1 African American • 1 Bosnian • 13 South East Asian

  9. Methods Continued • Instruments • Consent form given to the principal of the school • Survey • Skit • Pre-Experimental Design • One Group Pretest-Posttest Design • One single group is pre tested (O), exposed to treatment (X) and post tested again (O). • Symbolic design - OXO

  10. Methods Continued • Threats to Internal Validity -History -Testing/Pre-testing Sensitization -Instrumentation -Morality -Differential Selection of Subjects • Threats to External Validity -Ecological -Generaliazble Conditions -Pretest-Treatment -Selection treatment Interaction -Multiple Treatment

  11. Methods • Procedure • The study was done from February – April 2010 • Students were given a pre-survey at the beginning of the study. • Students and researcher met as a group to talk about bullying/teasing and their views and feelings on it. • Students and researcher worked on a small skit to perform in front of the experimental group of students. • Students were given a post-survey at the end of the study.

  12. Results The average for all the questions was calculated and below are the results. With a correlation coefficient of -0.084 rxy, there appears to be no relation at all from the intervention that the students were given. : (

  13. Results The following chart indicates the averages of the pre and post surveys. Blue shows the pre (Y) survey and red shows the post (X) survey.

  14. Results Question 3 from pre survey – Do you bully a younger brother or sister? Question 3 from post survey – Do you continue to bully a younger brother or sister? 1 – Strongly Agree 2 – Agree 3 – Disagree 4 – Strongly Disagree Answers XY 2 3 4 4 2 2 1 2 4 4 4 2 3 4 1 3 1 2 1 2 2 3 3 3 1 1 2 3 2 4 There seems to be a change in some children, but not all. Five children had no change on this question for the pre and post survey. An increase in red from blue indicates that the child feels different about bullying, meaning they have a positive outlook about it. This question has a correlation of .05. no correlation at all.

  15. Discussion • The hypothesis was not correct. • After the treatment was given students seemed to have a change about their views on bullying and teasing. • Most students said that they feel different about bullying/teasing. • When the results were calculated though, there was no change at all.

  16. Implications • Results of the study indicate that there is: • Need for research with a larger sample size. • Research for a longer study (longer period of time). • Surveys should be given to parents as well, to ask them if they notice a change in how their child is behaving towards their siblings.
