Female cyberbullies and victims feel the most negative about school and learning
Involvement in cyberbullying among girls triggers negative perceptions of the importance of school and the value of learning, a new Nottingham Trent University study suggests. Psychologists, writing in the Springer journal Sex Roles, found that 11-15 year-old girls who were most involved in cyberbullying—as perpetrator, victim, or both—felt the least accepted by their peers. This then had a knock-on effect of spilling over into how important they felt school and learning were, the researchers found.
