New Research Observatory on Cyberbullying to be established at DCU

The National Anti-Bullying Research and Resource Centre at DCU has been awarded funding by the Department of Justice to establish a new research observatory on cyberbullying.

The announcement was made earlier today from Minister for Justice, Helen McEntee TD, to mark Safer Internet Day and the commencement of Coco’s Law – the Harassments, Harmful Communications and Related Offences Bill.

The Observatory will be set up in memory of Nicole Fox (Coco) to establish a consistent monitoring framework on bullying. Working with the Department of Justice and the Department of Education over a three-year period, the team at DCU will focus on providing up-to-date research, advice and resources related to cyberbullying, cyberhate, and online harassment, and the implementation of Coco’s Law.

Welcoming the establishment of the Observatory at DCU, Professor Daire Keogh, DCU President, said:

“I warmly welcome this initiative, which will see DCU expertise directed to address one of the most worrying phenomena of our times. The world-class research being conducted at Dublin City University continues to provide governments and policy makers with information and tools designed to combat the terrible damage caused by cyber-bullying and online harassment.”

Professor James O’Higgins Norman, Director of the National Anti-Bullying Research and Resource Centre at DCU, said:

“There is no doubt about the educational and social benefits that adults and children can enjoy from being online. However, at the same time, our research shows that during the first lockdown in 2020, up to 28% of young people aged between 10-17 reported that they were the targets of cyberbullying and 50% of this age group said they witnessed cyberbullying. There is clearly a need for us to understand this problem and in particular its impact on young people. 

The new research observatory on cyberbullying will play a very significant role in providing research and information on how to prevent cyberbullying in the future.”

Marking Safer Internet Day by commencing Coco’s Law, Minister McEntee said,

“Image based abuse is absolutely disgusting and can ruin lives. There can be no tolerance for online abuse. Coco’s Law represents a big step forward in tackling harassment and harmful communications. 

“I am honoured to pay tribute to the memory of Nicole Fox, and to the selfless efforts of her mother, Jackie, who has tirelessly campaigned to raise awareness about the harmful effects of online abuse and to make our laws stronger in this area.

“This legislation will not only provide an effective tool to bring to justice those who use technology to harm others, but it will also send a clear message that as a society the sharing, or threat to share, an intimate image of another person without their consent is not acceptable in any circumstance.”

Understanding adolescent shame and pride in a school context: the impact of perceived academic competence and a growth mindset
2015
Cook, Ellen
University of Southampton

Shame has important implications in educational contexts for educators, children and young people. The first paper presented here is a review of the current literature on shame and explores the implications of this self-conscious achievement emotion within educational contexts. The systematic literature review demonstrated that shame experiences can have both a dysfunctional and functional role, are independent of acculturation status and are influenced by parental attitudes. Crucially, shame management can reduce bullying within schools. The review concludes by drawing attention to implications of these findings for educators and educational psychologists. The second paper, reports empirical research carried out in the field of self-conscious achievement emotions. This study investigated whether holding a growth (intelligence) mindset could reduce shame experiences and/or promote pride experiences, within a secondary school context. The study also focused on the role of perceived academic competence (i.e. the perception that one has sufficient skills and knowledge) on young people’s feelings of shame and pride. Secondary school students (N = 121, Mage= 14.3 years) completed the Scale of Personal Conceptions of Intelligence to measure their mindset, and then completed a 10-day online diary, to rate their daily shame and/or pride experiences. Participants also rated their daily perceptions of academic competence. Results revealed a negative relation between growth mindset and daily shame intensity, and a positive relation between growth mindset and daily pride intensity. Both associations were mediated by perceived academic competence. That is, a growth mindset predicted increased perceived academic competence, which, in turn, predicted reduced shame and increased pride. The findings have far-reaching implications for educators. This research also makes a novel connection between growth mindset, perceived academic competence and self-conscious emotions, within a school setting.

Ashling Bourke and Sinéad McNally Appointed as Dean’s Research Fellows with ABC

In a significant development for educational and psychological research, Dr. Ashling Bourke and Dr. Sinéad McNally have been appointed as Dean’s Research Fellows with ABC, a prestigious fellowship program supporting groundbreaking studies. Their respective research projects, focusing on different aspects of bullying and social behaviour, are poised to make impactful contributions to understanding and addressing critical issues in education and society.

Dr. Ashling Bourke’s Study on Social Dominance Orientation and Cyberbullying

Dr. Ashling Bourke will be conducting a study on the role of Social Dominance Orientation (SDO) and its relationship with empathy in the perpetration of cyber bullying behaviour. SDO is a narrow personality trait encompassing an individual’s tendency to accept and endorse group-based social hierarchies and the extent to which they desire their in-group to be superior to out-groups. Dr. Bourke’s research will examine how this orientation relates to the perpetration of cyberbullying and will investigate the role of empathy as a moderating factor. Her project will involve a rapid systematic review of the literature and a quantitative cross sectional examining cyber bullying behaviour (CBB), the propensity to accept social hierarchy myths (SDO) and cognitive empathy.

Dr. Sinéad McNally’s Research on Autistic Children’s Experiences of Bullying

Dr. Sinéad McNally’s fellowship will focus on exploring the lived experiences of autistic children who face bullying and exclusion within school environments. Her research aims to shed light on the specific challenges that autistic pupils encounter in both primary and secondary educational settings. By delving into the personal narratives and experiences of these children, Dr. McNally seeks to identify actionable supports that can be implemented to enhance the educational experiences of autistic students.

Both fellows are expected to make substantial contributions to their respective fields, and their work under the ABC fellowship will undoubtedly inform future research and practices aimed at reducing bullying and promoting empathy in various social contexts.

Analysis of reasons for living in an Irish population presenting to mental health services

O’Grady, J. M.
Queen's University Belfast

Ireland has a comprehensive yet complex, statutory framework for the resolution of employment disputes. Various bodies offer conciliation, mediation, arbitration and regulation, however the processes are taking too long. The focus of this dissertation is on another form of dispute resolution – collaborative law and its suitability to the resolution of Irish employment disputes. The overarching question of this research is: Can a dispute resolution model based on collaborative practice be a useful addition to alternative dispute resolution in Irish employment law? A review of ADR and employment literature provides a context for this research. The first phase of the primary research consisted of a survey of collaborative practitioners in Ireland to identify the current usage and success of collaborative law and whether practitioners felt collaborative law was suitable for the resolution of Irish employment disputes. TheaThis thesis will outline the incidence of suicide and self-harm in today’s society.  It will examine methodology and the impact on the family unit and significant others.  It will explore the various causative factors from obtaining a mental illness diagnosis to gender, age, marital status, physical illness, unemployment, occupation, trauma, abuse and bullying.  It will analyse the main theories of suicide, past and present, and the influence of modern society on suicide and self-harm.  It will refer to the research findings as discussed in this paper and focus on a proactive approach. Such a direction will be validated by the research findings as this MPhil will focus on the principle of positive risk management by analysing the principles a person has for living as opposed to reasons for dying.  It will challenge previous suicide and self harm strategies focused on a negative risk assessment.  Interventions therefore were defensive rather than defensible. The impetus towards a “Recovery” orientated delivery in mental health services will be highlighted.  It will put forward an innovative and practical initiative from the research findings that re individually centred and have the service user at its core.  This approach called “STRENGTH” has the potential to be a leading pathway towards a service that has recovery at its centre that will improve the safety and quality of services and promote consistency and standardisation of best practice.
second phase entailed depth interviews with key employment stakeholders to verify the findings from phase A. Analysis of the findings indicate that collaborative law could be a successful method of dispute resolution and that practitioners feel it is an appropriate method of dispute resolution for employment disputes.

Bullying and social dilemmas: The role of social context in anti-social behaviour
2011
Kohm, Amelia M
University of Bath

Research and interventions concerning anti-social behaviour have neglected the bad behaviour of “good” people or those who typically behave pro-socially. Additionally, past and current research and practice in this area have often neglected how factors in one’s current environment influence behaviour. Instead, the focus has been on how individual characteristics—borne of the interplay of genetic composition and environmental influences over time—result in anti-social behaviour. However, evidence suggests immediate contexts can foster even atypical behaviour, behavior not correlated with genetic and long-term environmental influences. The thesis is presented in four parts. Part One introduces the idea that immediate group context can have a significant effect on anti-social behaviour, particularly that of “good” people. Part Two reviews research on the impact of social dynamics on behaviour. Part Three presents the empirical study on the role of a particular group dynamic, social dilemmas, in relation to a specific type of anti-social behaviour, bullying. Finally, Part Four considers the implications of the thesis for future research and practice. Social dilemmas are situations in which individual motives are at odds with the best interests of the group and help to explain why individuals sometimes make anti-social decisions. The study at the core of this thesis tested two hypotheses: 1) both individual and group factors are associated with behaviour in bullying situations; and 2) attitudes, group norms, and social dilemmas each have a unique contribution to predicting behaviour in bullying situations. Participants were 292 middle school students at a residential school in the U.S., and data were analysed using multi-level modelling. The primary findings were, in general, consistent with the two hypotheses. The research suggests that social dilemma dynamics might be an important group factor in predicting behaviour in bullying situations.
