Predictors of Bullying and Victimization in Childhood and Adolescence: A Meta-analytic Investigation (2010, background): “…interventions for aggression in general may be an important avenue for bullying prevention efforts because those designed specifically to address bullying have not convincingly demonstrated their effectiveness in decreasing actual bullying behaviors (Merrell et al., 2008; J. D. Smith et al., 2004).”
Declines in efficacy of anti-bullying programs among older adolescents: Theory and a three-level meta-analysis (2015, methodology): “Recall that many past studies found a non-significant age moderation, such that program efficacy was slightly but not significantly lower for older students (Ferguson et al., 2007; Fossum, Handegård, Martinussen, & Mørch, 2008; Merrell et al., 2008; Smith et al., 2004; Vreeman & Carroll, 2007; Wilso”
Bullying and victimisation in school children: the role of social identity, problem-solving style, and family and school context (2009, background): “The evidence for the effectiveness of interventions is equivocal although some of the inconsistency may be due to either ineffective monitoring or patch meal application of programmes ( Smith et al. 2004 ).”
Vulnerable Children in Varying Classroom Contexts: Bystanders' Behaviors Moderate the Effects of Risk Factors on Victimization (2010, background): “As bullying has multiple causes at all levels (i.e., individual, classroom, and school), intervention efforts should correspondingly target each of these levels (Smith et al., 2004).”
Effectiveness of school-based programs to reduce bullying: a systematic and meta-analytic review (2011, background): “The most informative single source of reports of anti-bullying programs is the book edited by Smith et al. (2004a), which contains descriptions of 13 programs implemented in 11 different countries.”
Three‐year results of the Friendly Schools whole‐of‐school intervention on children’s bullying behaviour (2011, background): “Smith, Schneider, Smith and Ananiadou (Smith et al., 2004a) state that whilst evaluations of bullying interventions have found limited success, there is insufficient grounds to justify the abandonment of such programs, and so cautiously recommended that whole school anti-bullying interventions…”
