“…Peer violence is measured with the Peer Victimization Scale (PVS), a 16-item measure with four subscales, each with four questions, assessing physical and verbal victimization, social manipulation, and property attacks [10]. Respondents were asked over the last four weeks, how often (i.e., never, once, a few times (2–3) or many times (4 or more) an act happened to them (i.e.…”

Background: Violence against women is driven by gender norms that normalize and justify gender inequality and violence. Gender norms are substantially shaped during adolescence. Programs offered through schools offer an opportunity to influence gender attitudes toward gender equity if we understand these to be partly shaped by peers and the school environment. Objective: We present an analysis of the baseline research conducted for a randomized controlled trial with 1752 grade 6 boys and girls and their attitudes toward gender roles, VAWG, and associated factors. Methods: We used baseline data from a cluster randomised control study. Interviews were conducted in 40 public schools in Hyderabad, with 25–65 children per school. Questions were asked about attitudes toward gender roles, peer-to-peer perpetration, and victimization experiences, and family life, including father- or in-law-to- mother violence and food security. Multiple regression models were built of factors associated with gender attitudes for boys and girls. Results: Our result have shown youth attitudes endorsing patriarchal gender beliefs were higher for boys, compared to girls. The multiple regression model showed that for boys, patriarchal gender attitudes were positively associated with hunger, depression, being promised already in marriage, and being a victim and/or perpetrator of peer violence. For girls gender attitudes were associated with hunger, experiencing corporal punishment at home, and being a perpetrator (for some, and victim) of peer violence. Conclusion: Youth patriarchal attitudes are closely related to their experience of violence at school and for girl’s physical punishment, at home and for boys being promised in early marriage. We suggest that these variables are indicators of gender norms among peers and in the family. The significance of peer norms is that it provides the possibility that school-based interventions which work with school peers have the potential to positively impact youth patriarchal gender attitudes and foster attitudes of gender equality and respect, and potentially to decrease youth victimization and perpetration.

“…While previous research has suggested that females can engage in a higher level of certain bullying behaviours than males (e.g. Mynard & Joseph, 2000), the role of paternal involvement in this has yet to be understood. Unfortunately, due to issues around statistical power, this type of moderation analysis was beyond the scope of the current paper.…”

Recent re-conceptualisation of paternal involvement (Pleck, J. H. (2010). Paternal involvement: Revised conceptualization and theoretical linkages with child outcomes. In M. Lamb (Ed.), The role of the father in child development (5th ed., pp. 67-107). London: Wiley), while proving fruitful, has yet to be applied to investigations into what extent a father's level of involvement may affect childpeer interactions in the preschool age range, over and above the effects of motherchild attachment quality and socio-economic status (SES). Patterns of associations between attachment quality, sensitivity and general caregiving behaviours have also yet to be compared in equally involved mothers and fathers. Thirty preschool children (17 males:13 females) with similar SES profiles and their immediate caregivers participated in hour-long observations, conducted in the home. Even when attachment quality was controlled for, children with low paternal involvement were found to have higher levels of child-peer aggression. Further, patterns of effects between caregiver sensitivity, child-caregiver attachment quality and general caregiver interactions were similar for equally involved mothers and fathers. These preliminary data support the concept of applying Pleck's (2010) re-conceptualisation of paternal involvement to preschool attachment, and have implications towards the wider study of child-father attachment. Limitations of the current study and directions for future research are discussed.

“…With each disparaging remark, the power relations become more consolidated. Although viewed as different types of bullying by most educational researchers [1], physical and verbal victimization tend to consist of direct displays of aggression and have often been jointly considered as direct forms of victimization [4], [5].…”

“…The majority of bullying studies utilize self-report methodology [2], [4], [5]. These studies use items that cover bullying (e.g., "have you been socially excluded"; "have you been sent harassing text messages from a bully") and correlate them with desired outcomes (e.g., life satisfaction, depression, coping, etc.).…”

Do Cyber Victimization and Traditional Victimization Form Separate Factors? Evidence from a Preliminary Study

Abstract-Few published studies measure electronic (cyber) bullying in conjunction with traditional (i.e., verbal, physical, and relational) forms of bullying, with even fewer using multiple items to measure the constructs. These two shortcomings have resulted in decades of inconsistent findings, uncertainty amongst experts about the structure of bullying, and no universally accepted measures to examine it. This study addresses these concerns by developing a new measure of victimization and examining its construct validity in a sample of 399 ninth-grade students. Exploratory Factor Analysis provides strong evidence that victimization is indeed multifaceted with cyber victimization emerging as a separate factor, distinct from school-based forms. Although, physical and verbal victimization items cross-loaded to form a single factor (labeled direct victimization), relational victimization emerged as a separate factor, distinct from cyber and direct victimization. Implications and limitations of these findings are discussed, along with how continued development of such measures may aid educational psychologists who work with victimized students regularly.Index Terms-Bullying, cyber bullying, direct bullying, relational bullying, victimization, construct validity.
