Summary
This cross-cultural analysis by Smith and colleagues examined whether gender differences in bullying behaviour remain consistent across diverse national contexts. Using data from multiple international surveys (circa 2018), the authors investigated whether boys and girls show comparable patterns of bullying involvement across countries, as suggested by the study's focus on consistency of gender effects. The work contributes to understanding of whether bullying gender dynamics are culturally universal or context-dependent.
UK applicability
UK schools and policy-makers may use these cross-cultural findings to contextualise their own gender-disaggregated bullying data; however, direct applicability depends on whether UK samples were included in the comparative analysis, which cannot be confirmed from the metadata alone.
Key measures
Gender-disaggregated prevalence of bullying perpetration and victimisation across countries; consistency of gender patterns in bullying behaviour
Outcomes reported
The study examined consistency of gender differences in bullying prevalence and patterns across multiple countries using cross-cultural survey data.
