Dignity at work:  eliminate bullying and create a positive working environment. The development of a useful textbook for helping professionals
2004
Peyton, P.R.
Middlesex University

This document describes the motivations and processes behind my writing the handbook, Dignity at Work:  Eliminate Bullying and Create a Positive Working Environment.  It also contains the typescript as submitted to Routledge, the publishers (Appendix D).  Dignity at Work was written for commercial publication but it was shaped primarily by considerations related to its being a doctoral project.  The book was designed to be a practical and user-friendly manual for both psychological practitioners in organisations as well as anyone else in an organisational setting who has the responsibility of managing others.  Dignity at Work is based on a systematic enquiry of colleagues and others involved in workplace bullying and it draws on the discipline and knowledge of the counselling, psychotherapy and psychology fields and their contribution to understanding and working with individuals and groups. The book does not aim to supersede existing research but in fact relies on the valuable work done in the field:  material I had collected over the years by reviewing the literature, talking to colleagues, and integrating my own experience.  The result is a work that seeks to provide the best response to enhancing dignity at work from the perspectives of not only the victims and their employers, but also the counsellors and psychologists who are called in to provide effective intervention.

Research on Inclusion and Bullying – Taking the Temperature

New research on inclusion and bullying, led by ABC research fellow Dr. Debbie Ging identified that the majority of students were bullied about body image and weight.

The pilot study research identified that the majority of teenagers were reluctant to report incidents of bullying to school staff.

Teachers highlighted that a focus on body aesthetics – particularly in social media – was a factor behind students being subjected to hurtful names about their physical appearance.

The findings were from a pilot study entitled ‘Taking the Temperature’. Which is available to download at this link

The study included 418 second-level students between the ages of 12 and 17. The study conducted in three schools in the Dublin area – involving an all-girls Catholic school, an all-boys Catholic school and a co-educational community college.

Verbal bullying and threats were common with 32.8% of participants reporting that they had been called hurtful names or threatened at school.

It was considerably higher in the all-boys school (48.5%) than in the all-girls school (22.4%) or the mixed community college (23.8%)

Bullying was most frequently attributed to body type/size.

In relation to promoting an atmosphere of inclusivity for LGBT students, the research found only a small number of participants in the all-boys school (7.5%) felt their school was ‘very accepting’ of LGBT people – compared with the 19.1% in the all-girls school and 38.6% in the mixed school.

In the all-girls school, body type was the most frequently cited reason for having mean rumours or lies spread and for being excluded or ‘left out’.

Physical harassment was considerably more prevalent in the all-boys school, while students in the mixed community college expressed the highest levels of belonging (81.1%) and feeling safe (68.3% felt very safe).

Only 41.8% of students in the all-girls school and 20.7% of students in the all-boys school felt very safe.

Feedback from teachers and principals indicated that schools needed broader instruments to evaluate the diversity climate taking into account a range of issues such as gender, sexuality, ethnicity, class, body image and religion.

Dr Debbie Ging is from the DCU School of Communications and author of the study.

“Other indicators such as ethnicity and sexuality were still very significant factors in bullying behaviour, but the prevalence of body size-based bullying surprised us, in both the boys’ and the girls’ schools.”

“The schools were also surprised by a lot of what the surveys revealed, highlighting the need for ongoing self-assessment instruments to improve the equality and inclusion climate.”

Dr. Debbie Ging discussed the research on Newstalk FM.

Testing the applicability of criminological theories to the context of bullying behaviour: implications for prevention and treatment
2009
Ttofi, Maria
University of Cambridge

This thesis starts with a detailed review of studies on the short-term and long-term effects of bullying on children’s physical and mental health (part A).  Many cross-sectional studies show that children’s involvement in bullying is related to several physical and psychological problems.  Longitudinal research indicates that bullying is a strong risk marker for anti-sociality and future criminality.  The necessity arises to examine the extent to which bullying prevention programmes are effective in tackling bullying. Part B presents a systematic and meta-analytic review of the effectiveness of anti-bullying programmes.  It includes programmes that were implemented and evaluated I schools, with the aim of reducing bullying and/or victimisation.  This project followed 25 years of intervention research and was based on extensive searches, for example all volumes of 35 journals were hand-searched from 1983 to 2008.  Intervention components within each programme were coded and correlated with the effect sizes, so that solid conclusions could be drawn about what works in preventing bullying, for whom and under what circumstances.  I conclude that anti-bullying programmes are effective, but that future programmes are needed that are based on empirically validated theories of bullying. Part C begins with a review of previous theoretical perspectives that have been utilized in the understanding of bullying.  It then focuses on testing the applicability of two criminological theories in explaining sibling and peer bullying, namely Reintegrative Shaming Theory and Defiance Theory.  These two theories were chosen because of their importance and many points of convergence.  Part C is based on a survey that was conducted with primary school children.  The emphasis is on sibling bullying, which –unlike peer bullying- is an under-researched topic.  In line with the postulates of the two theories, I establish which family factors are related to sibling bullying and make recommendations about how best to utilize the survey findings for the prevention of bullying. Part D is based on another survey that was constructed and used with both primary and secondary school children.  The theoretical constructs of Defiance Theory were operationalized and empirically tested using the same questionnaire so that comparisons based on the two datasets – as well as final conclusions – could be drawn based on age and gender differences.  The focal point of part D is on teacher-targeted bullying perpetrated by students, which is a highly neglected area of research.  In part D, as in part C, some hypotheses are experimentally tested using vignettes so that solid inferences can be drawn about the applicability of the theory to the context of teacher-targeted bullying behaviour.

World Anti Bullying Forum 2019

“Another step towards making Dublin a bully-free city” says Lord Mayor

Dublin has secured a bid to host the most significant global event focused on tackling bullying and harassment of young people.

In a competitive process led by the National Anti-Bullying Research and Resource Centre at Dublin City University, the World Anti-Bullying Forum will take place in Dublin City University on 4 – 6 June, 2019.

It is expected to attract over 700 practitioners, academics and anyone with an interest in understanding and tackling bullying.

Internationally recognised experts will share knowledge and new perspectives on topics such as cyberbullying, diversity, sexting, online safety, and other forms of inhumane actions and violence among children and youth.

The successful bid was supported by Ardmhéara Bhaile Atha Cliath/Lord Mayor of Dublin Mícheál Mac Donncha Lord Mayor of Dublin, the Department of Education and Skills and Fáilte Ireland.

Speaking at the launch, Ardmhéara Bhaile Atha Cliath/Lord Mayor of Dublin Mícheál Mac Donncha, said:

“The City of Dublin is delighted to host the World Anti-Bullying Forum in 2019 in partnership with DCU and the National Anti-Bullying Research & Resource Centre.

We already know that the City of Dublin is one of the safest cities in the world and we are hoping that by hosting the WABF here in 2019 it will be another step towards making the Dublin a bully-free city.

Much bullying behaviour relates to a lack of tolerance for difference Dublin is a city of many cultures, faiths and ways of life and so we hope that with so many experts coming from all over the world we will be able to learn more about how to promote tolerance of difference in our city.”

This unique forum was initiated by Friends International Center against Bullying, the first of which took place in Stockholm in 2017 with 550 delegates from 37 countries.

The second forum will be organised by the National Anti-Bullying Research and Resource Centre at Dublin City University in collaboration with the US-based International Bullying Prevention Association.

“The forum will emphasize the importance of cross-national dialogues and create a stronger bridge between different scientific disciplines, as well as between research and practitioners, to make the best-known knowledge used where it really creates change for children and youth”, says Jacob Flärdh Aspegren, Head of the World Anti-Bullying Forum.

James O’Higgins Norman, director of the National Anti-Bullying Research and Resource Centre at DCU added:

“We are delighted to have won the bid to host the next World Anti-Bullying Forum at DCU and we are very excited because we have already secured some of the leading international experts on bullying and related issues.

Bullying is a universal problem and so we have invited experts from every corner of the globe who will help us to deepen our knowledge and expand our skills in tackling bullying among children and young people.

Given the current geo-political context it makes sense to focus on bullying and victimisation among children and younger people in the hope that if we can tackle bullying and cyberbullying with them then this will have a long-term impact on societies around the globe.”

Supporting organisations of WABF2019 include ISPCC, Florida Atlantic University, McAfee, and Facebook.

First Issue of New Springer International Journal of Bullying Prevention Has Been Published

The first issue of the new Springer International Journal of Bullying Prevention has been published. The International Journal of Bullying Prevention is a quarterly journal reflecting best practice academic and practitioner led research in the broad area of bullying prevention.

In the Inaugural Editorial, Prof. James O’Higgins Norman of the National Anti-Bullying Research and Resource Centre and Prof. Sameer Hinduja of Florida Atlantic University described the journal as “a new peer-reviewed scholarly journal focused entirely on bullying prevention.” The journal itself “makes a very significant contribution to the established body of knowledge on bullying“, and invites a variety of stakeholders – including teachers, researchers, managers, policy makers, mental health professionals and technology companies – to contribute strategies and new knowledge in bullying prevention.

The journal itself takes a broad perspective on bullying related concepts such as bullying prevention and intervention. Contributors and readers are informed that no single definition for bullying or related term confines the academic scope of the journal so as to consider the multidisciplinary perspectives offered by many scholastic and practitioner led fields such as psychology, sociology, philosophy, education and technology.

The journal is present on Facebook and Twitter which are updated regularly with featured publications and related information about the journal and the wider scope of bullying prevention. Access to the journal’s website can be found here.
