Voices from the classroom: Pictorial and narrative representations of children’s bullying experiences.
Abstract
This study investigates children's understanding of school bullying and victimization as represented through drawings, narratives and open‐ended qualitative questions. Eighty‐two children (8–9‐year‐olds, n = 30, M = 8;7; 10–11‐year‐olds, n = 18, M = 10;7; and 11–12‐year‐olds, n = 34, M = 11;9) from a mainly Euro‐Canadian, mid‐socioeconomic city in Ontario, Canada, participated in individual interviews that required them to draw and narrate stories of ‘someone being bullied’. Comments on bullies' motives reflected proactive/instrumental and reactive/emotional aggression, but also suggested sadistic aspects of bullying that are not fully captured in existing subtypes of aggression. Participants' narratives also indicated that it may be crucial to create comprehensive anti‐bullying interventions that include a component on moral values related to bullying and victimization.

In the citing paper
“Unlike quantitative surveys, qualitative research is typically inductive and therefore lends itself to an in-depth exploration of the perspectives, perceptions, and experiences of children involved in bullying (Bosacki et al., 2006; Patton et al., 2017).”

In the citing paper
“As previous research (Bosacki et al., 2006) suggests, representations of bullying become more complex as children get older, which could likely explain a greater frequency of reference to bullying behaviors among older children.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
