“…Most of these studies have been conducted in North America and have noted that children and adolescents from ethnic minority backgrounds are more likely than those from the ethnic majority to report having been bullied (Carlyle & Steinman, 2007;Juvonen, Graham, & Schuster, 2003;Mouttapa, Valente, Gallaher, Rohrbach, & Unger, 2004;Peskin, Tortolero, & Markham, 2006;Sawyer, Bradshaw, & O'Brennan, 2008;Spriggs, Iannotti, Nansel, & Haynie, 2007). Several European studies have reported similar findings (Strohmeier, Kärnä, & Salmivalli, 2011;Strohmeier, Spiel, & Gradinger, 2008). However, some research within Europe has concluded that there are no significant differences in the prevalence of victimisation as a function of the cultural background of the participants (Fandrem, Strohmeier, & Roland, 2009;Monks, Ortega-Ruiz, & Rodríguez-Hidalgo, 2008;Rodríguez-Hidalgo, Ortega-Ruiz, & Zych, 2014;Sweeting & West, 2001).…”
