Rationale
In Vietnam: • There is very rapid and widespread expansion of
communication technology (CT). • Increasing number of adolescents using CT (SAVY, 2010) • Increasing number of school violence video clips posted on
Youtube went viral on social media. • Lack of scientific publication in bullying and cyberbullying. In Southeast Asian countries: • Relatively limited data on bullying and cyberbullying in this
region (Sittichai & Smith, 2015). Most data are cross-sectional.
• Sittichai and Smith recommend longitudinal studies to examine determinants and consequences of bullying.

Research aims
1. Estimate prevalence of specific behaviours of bullying
and victimisation, both traditional and cyber forms.
2. Examine prevalence of stability and change in bullying
involvement during an academic year.
3. Examine potential determinants of stability and change
in bullying involvement among adolescents over time.
4. Uncover policy implications to reduce bullying in
schools in Vietnam and developing countries.

Findings
![Page 9: Stability and change in Bullying Involvement among Adolescents … · 2018-05-04 · Stability and change in bullying involvement over time Time 2 Time 1 Not involved Victims only](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042407/5f2187c0fc5aef5e36059812/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Traditional bullying and victimization are very common; cyberbullying and cyber victimization quite rare among Vietnamese adolescents. A slight decline in prevalence of bullying victimization and perpetration over time (Olweus, 2013).

CHANGE in Bullying over time is the most stable characteristic
• 61.1% of all surveyed children were involved at T1, T2 or both times.
Only 4/10 students were free of bullying
• Of 870 children who had some bullying experience:
Only 1% (n=8) were Bullies only at both times
11% (n=99) were Victims only at both times
14% (n=121) were Bully-Victims at both times
74% changed their bully/victim “type”; that is, 3 in every 4 affected
children do not have a stable “type”
POLICY IMPLICATION: Throughout our work, we should not classify or
objectify bullies, or victims, as “other” or a “type” of child.

Excessive study burden as a form of systemic bullying and child
maltreatment, and possible violation of article 31 of CRC - children’s right to

Measuring educational stress We developed a 16 item tool that captures broad
elements of educational stress (Sun, Dunne, Hou & Xu, 2011, Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment; Sun, Dunne et al, 2013 Educational Review; Truc et al, 2014, Asia-Pacific Journal of Public Health)
The ESSA (Educational Stress Scale for Adolescents) has been validated in China, Vietnam and Turkey.
In the past two years, QUT researchers have given approval for the scale to used in research in China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Iran, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippines, Saudi Arabia, Sri Lanka, South Africa, Thailand, UK, USA and other countries
![Page 24: Stability and change in Bullying Involvement among Adolescents … · 2018-05-04 · Stability and change in bullying involvement over time Time 2 Time 1 Not involved Victims only](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042407/5f2187c0fc5aef5e36059812/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Sample ESSA statements (5 point Likert scale)
• I feel a lot of pressure in my daily studying
• There is too much competition among classmates that brings me a lot of pressure
• I feel there is too much homework
• I feel that I have disappointed my parents when my exam results are poor
• I feel stressed when I do not live up to my own standards
• I always lack confidence with my academic scores
• Scores range from low (<30) to very high (71-80)

Brief, standardized measures of Bullying Involvement should be integrated into health and social surveys, and incorporated with
equal weight as a 5th form of child maltreatment in Violence research
