The purpose of this study is to explore the perspectives of secondary school students on effective and ineffective bullying prevention strategies. The authors developed the perceived-effectiveness on bullying prevention strategies scale (PBPS) to acquire a more profound understanding of why bullying prevention strategies may be considered as effective or ineffective among secondary school students. The participants in this study were 664 secondary school students from southern Taiwan, including 320 boys (48.2%) and 344 girls (51.8%). This study used a self-administered questionnaire survey to collect data, and the Rasch measurement has been employed to test reliability and validity of the scale. Results show that the PBPS scale has good reliability and validity. The bullying prevention strategies considered as effective by secondary school students were “Telling teachers and adults”, “Asking the teachers to talk with bullies seriously”, “Asking the teachers to talk with victims”. The bullying prevention strategies rated as ineffective were “Telling bullies to stop it”, “Befriending the victims”, “Attending the bullying prevention activities hosted by the school”. The limitations and suggestions of these results are discussed at the end of this study. |
