• “Bully” is a major nightmare in the education system throughout the world.

• “Bully” is an aggressive attitude done by a person to the others repeatedly either individually or in a group. (Smith dan Sharp, 1994).

B.U.L.L.Y

Social Cognitive Theory• Humans can learn by

observing and modeling others, specially those that they identify with.

 • Classic 'Bobo Doll'

studies demonstrated observational learning and impact on violent

behavior in children. • Bandura originally called

this theory Observational Learning

Theory or Social Learning theory.

Bobo Doll Experiment

Bandura also found that the children exposed to the

aggressive model were more likely to

act in verbally aggressive ways

than those who were not exposed to the aggressive model.

Bobo Study: Key Findings

• After viewing adults strike and kick a Bobo doll, children would imitate the behavior in another environment.

 • Suggests that the violence could be imitated by viewers.

 • Results showed 88% of the children imitated aggressive

behavior following the viewing of the tape of adults acting aggressively towards the doll.

 • 8 months later 40% of the same children reproduced the

violent behavior observed in the Bobo doll experiment.

Four Key Processes in Social Learning

• Attention • Retention

 • Reproduction

 • Motivation

Bandura formulated his findings in a four-step pattern which combines a cognitive view and an operant view of learning.

12

Step 1 – Attention

Something is noticed in the environment.

Observers must pay attention to learn.

Process influenced by characteristics of the

model.

Step 2 – Retention

Observer must recognize and remember the

behavior.

Process depends on observers ability to code information.

Step 3 – Reproduction

What observer noticed is duplicated

by an action.

Observer must be physically and

intellectually capable of producing action.

Step 4 – Motivation

Observer performs act.

Presence of reinforcement

or punishment.

Agents of Observational Learning

• Parents• Teacher• Peers• Other Adults• Media

• Loujain Hussain• Eleven-years-old

• Al Ma'ali International Private School

• Abu Dhabi• Was beaten up by 3 boys.

– refused to give her pocket money away.

Strategies to reduce bullying in school

What can Schools do to Stop Bullying?

• Programs that educate children.• Programs that focus on the social

environment of the school..• Programs where bullying prevention

is not the sole responsibility of an administrator, counselor, teacher

• Programs that name clear rules and policies related to bullying

• Programs to increase adult supervision in hot spots where bullying occurs.

It can be difficult to deal with a bully. However, It is more helpful when a bully’s parents and school are involved trying to work on helping diffuse the

situation.? Or worse?

•First you should get your child’s input. -You need to be a safe place your child can turn for help. Be open to your child

•Talk to the school authorities-Discuss the problem with your child’s teacher, principal or counselor.

•Teach your child to avoid the bully- child does not need to fight back. Encourage him or her to avoid the bully when possible.

•Encourage your child to be assertive-It is not necessary to fight back to defeat a bully. You can teach your child to stand up straight and tell the bully, firmly, to leave him or her alone.

•Practice with your child-practice what to say to a bully, or how to leave a situation that could turn into bullying.

•Teach your child to move in groups-Have your child go to school and other places with trusted and true friends.

Campaign Goals

• Raise awareness about bullying.

• Prevent and reduce bullying behaviors.

• Identify appropriate interventions for “teens” and other target audiences.

• Foster and enhance linkages among partners.
