“…Resilience can be operationalized by examining the construct as a hierarchical factorial model (Figure ). Three personal protective factors underlie resilience: (1) mastery—which refers to the opportunity for individuals to interact with and enjoy cause and effect relationships in the environment, (2) relatedness—which is based on the assumption that the capacity to be in a relationship is a basic human function as a social organism, and (3) emotional reactivity—which may have a physiological basis and refers to a preexisting threshold of tolerance prior to the occurrence of adverse events (Moore & Woodcock, , Prince‐Embury, ).…”

“…Cyber bullying is generally defined as the use of digital technologies to engage in bullying, including using e‐mails, text messaging, and social media to make derogatory and ostracizing comments about others (Brown, Jackson, & Cassidy, , Wang, Iannottii, & Luk, ). Some studies have broadened the conceptualization of bullying to include ideas from evolutionary psychology (Moore & Woodcock, ).…”

“…Improved knowledge of resilience may facilitate supplementary and/or alternative methods of addressing school‐based bullying. This may facilitate improving students’ mental health outcomes, which is important given the inconsistent results generated from conventional antibullying approaches (Moore & Woodcock, ).…”

Resilience is associated with bouncing back from adversity, and the term currently enjoys significant popular appeal. However, understanding of resilience is often superficial. The current paper examined 105 primary and high school students' experiences of resilience and bullying, and considered resilience as a hierarchical factorial model. The study found that higher levels of resilience subfactors were a protective factor regarding depression and anxiety; that individuals with poorer resilience were more likely to engage in bullying behaviors; that individuals with poorer levels of resilience were more likely to be victims of bullying; and, that gender did not appear to be a major variable regarding resilience and bullying. These findings suggest that resilience interventions that focus on improving specific resilience elements including optimism, trust, tolerance, sensitivity, and impairment may be more efficacious than interventions focused on other resilience elements.

“…Antibullying strategies are the main approach addressing bullying in schools (Farrington & Ttofi, 2009) and claim substantial support to address bullying. However, antibullying approaches are often found to achieve no reduction or observe increases in bullying behaviour (Moore & Woodcock, 2017a;Rigby, 2002).…”

Bullying is characterized by power imbalances in relationships, which can lead to negative social consequences. Youth with higher levels of resilience and self-efficacy are less likely to engage in aggressive behaviours or be victims of bullying. Karate, a martial art emphasizing respect, self-regulation and health promotion, may be an effective alternative to the anti-bullying failing approach of institutions. Therefore, the purpose of this randomized controlled study was to examine the effect of a 12-week karate-based intervention on resilience and self-efficacy. 100 students from 3 high schools, aged 14-16 years, were randomly assigned to experimental group (n=50) that performed technical Shotokan karate practice and psychoeducational activities (90 min., once per week), or wait-list control group (n=50). Before and after intervention, two standardised psychometric instruments were used: CYRM-28 assessed individual capacities and resources, relationship with primary caregiver, contextual factors and total resilience; SEQ-C measured academic, social, emotional and total self-efficacy. Two participants from karate group withdrew during intervention. A significant 'Time x Group' interaction was detected for all dependent measures (p<0.05) with moderate to large effect size. Significant increases from baseline were found for all scores on the resilience and self-efficacy scales (p <0.05). The results suggest that psychosocial intervention based on Karate may improve the resilience and self-efficacy of youth and make them less likely to engage in aggressive behaviour or be bullied. Thus, Karate should be considered an effective alternative to the anti-bullying failing approach of the institutions.

Bullying is characterized by power imbalances in relationships, which can lead to negative social consequences. Youth with higher levels of resilience are less likely to engage in aggressive behaviours or be victims of bullying. Karate, a martial art emphasizing respect, self-regulation and health promotion, may be an effective alternative to the anti-bullying failing approach of institutions. Therefore, the purpose of this randomized controlled study was to examine the effect of a 12-week karate based intervention on resilience. 50 students, aged 14-16 years, were randomly assigned to experimental group (n=25) that performed technical Shotokan karate practice, i.e. kihon, kata and kumite (60 min., once per week), or control group (n=25). At baseline and after intervention, the Child and Youth Resilience Measure (CYRM-28) assessed the individual capacities and resources, relationship with primary caregiver, contextual factors and total resilience. The intervention significant improved levels of the overall resilience and resilience sub-factors (p<0.05). The results suggest that psycho-social intervention based on Karate may improve the resilience and well-being of youth and make them less likely to engage in aggressive behaviour or be bullied. Thus, Karate should be considered an effective alternative to the anti-bullying failing approach of the institutions.
