Summary

This cross-sectional survey of 1,049 students across 12 schools in southern Thailand examined coping strategies for traditional and cyberbullying victimisation, finding that responses differed substantially by age, gender, and victim status. Telling teachers or parents was most recommended for traditional bullying, whereas blocking and technical strategies predominated for cyberbullying. Notable gender differences emerged, with girls more likely to recommend reporting to authorities or telling others, whilst boys more frequently recommended fighting back or building new friendships.

UK applicability

The study's focus on Thai school populations and Asian-specific cultural contexts limits direct applicability to UK settings, though comparative insights on gender differences in bullying responses and the distinction between offline and online coping strategies may inform UK anti-bullying policy development.
