Research on bullying

Research on bullying explores how, why, and when it occurs, aiming to understand its impact and find effective ways to prevent it. Studies examine factors like individual traits, relationships, and environments that contribute to bullying behavior. They also assess how bullying affects victims’ mental and physical health, academic or work performance, and overall well-being. By understanding these patterns, researchers develop strategies and interventions to reduce bullying, promote positive social interactions, and create safer communities. This ongoing work helps inform policies and practices to protect those at risk and foster respectful, inclusive environments.
