Traditional and Cyber Bullying Victimization among Teachers in School

• In Event: Bullying: Impacts on Students and Teachers

Abstract

Limited academic and school administrative attention has been given to violence against teachers and its negative consequences, despite growing findings that violence against teachers is ubiquitous within school systems and has detrimental negative consequences on victimized teachers. The present research, using a sample of 1,628 teachers in a southwestern city of the United States, examines the prevalence and the etiology of traditional and cyber bullying victimization among teachers by students and their parents/caregivers. Teachers’ socio/demographic factors, classroom management styles, and school environmental/ demographic factors are examined as predictors of traditional and cyber bullying victimization among teachers.
