Defining and measuring youth digital citizenship (2016, background): “Efforts to enhance the role of bystanders (Davis and Nixon, 2012; Nickerson et al., 2014; Polanin et al., 2012) and influence social norms (Jones et al., 2011; Perkins et al., 2011; Salmivalli and Voeten, 2004) are increasingly a focus of programs to reduce bullying.”
Predictors of student defenders of peer aggression victims: Empathy and social cognitive factors (2011, background): “Despite the important role of student ‘‘defenders’’ in reducing bullying in schools (Salmivalli, 1999; Salmivalli & Voeten, 2004), research on defending victims is in its infancy (Rigby & Johnson, 2006; Salmivalli & Voeten, 2004).”
Different forms of bullying and victimization: Bully-victims versus bullies and victims (2013, background): “The bully scale consists of three items: “Starts bullying”; “Makes the others join in the bullying”; and “Always finds new ways of harassing the victim” (Salmivalli & Voeten, 2004), and another three items assess peer reported victimization: “He/She is being pushed around and hit”; “He/She is…”
The Developmental Trajectories of Peer Victimization in Middle to Late Childhood and the Changing Nature of Their Behavioral Correlates (2010, background): “Social contexts and group processes are clearly involved in peer relation difficulties (Boivin, Dodge, & Coie, 1995; Hymel, Wagner, & Butler, 1990; Salmivalli & Voeten, 2004; Wright, Giammarino, & Parad, 1986).”
Early Adolescents’ Participation in Bullying: Is ToM Involved? (2010, background): “Supporting and actively helping victimized children lead to the risk of being victimized in turn, as pro-bullying norms are likely to be common in classes in which bullying takes place (Salmivalli & Voeten, 2004).”
Bullying Is Power (2003, background): “Although most students reported that they disapproved of bullies’ behavior, Salmivalli and Voeten (2002) found that the majority did nothing to help the victim of such attacks, and that 20-30% of children actually encourage the bully, even to the point of joining in (Pepler, 2001).”
When is a bystander not a bystander? A typology of the roles of bystanders in workplace bullying (2012, background): “The school literature reports that bullying often occurs in the context of such group phenomena as settings can contribute to bullying interactions (e.g. Salmivalli and Voeten 2004).”
Bullying among primary school children in New Zealand: relationships with prosocial behaviour and classroom climate (2010, background): “Salmivalli and Voeten (2004) demonstrated that bullyingrelated attitudes were associated with the roles that participants took in the bullying interaction (victim, bully, bystander, etc.) Although the attitudes of most peer groups do not support bullying, few bystanders are willing to take action…”
What Can Be Done About School Bullying? (2010, background): “Research by Salmivalli and colleagues in Finland (e.g., Salmivalli et al, 1996; Salmivalli & Voeten, 2004) has clearly demonstrated that bully ing behavior is often reinforced by peers and can be seen as acceptable and normative within the peer group.”
Understanding the psychology of bullying: Moving toward a social-ecological diathesis-stress model. (2015, background): “Bullying and victimization are more likely in classrooms characterized by peer norms that support bullying (e.g., Craig & Pepler, 1997; Salmivalli & Voeten, 2004), and by high peer conflict (Pepler et al., 2010).”
What Does It Take to Stand Up for the Victim of Bullying?: The Interplay Between Personal and Social Factors (2010, methodology): “When students grow older, group norms become more approving of bullying (Salmivalli & Voeten, 2004).”
