The Relationship between Bullying Behaviours and High School Dropout in Cape Town, South Africa (2008, result): “These understandings may be different as a function of age and gender (Salmivalli, 2002) and may have affected our findings.”
Addressing Bullying in Schools (2004, result): “Judging from the self reports of children, the kind of behaviour that is generally labelled as ‘bullying’ becomes progressively rare (Olweus, 1993; Smith and Sharp, 1994), although results based upon peer nominations and teacher reports have not confirmed this trend (Salmivalli, 2002).”
