Item Ethnicity, Gender, Bullying and Cyberbullying in English Secondary School Pupils(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2012) Smith, Peter K.; Thompson, Fran; Bhatti, SabaThis study investigated the effect of gender and ethnicity on both bullying and cyberbullying in English secondary school pupils. Although previous research had been carried out looking at the effect of ethnicity on bullying, no research has yet been carried out looking at the effect of ethnicity on cyberbullying. A sample of 2,268 pupils aged 11 to 16 years from 14 schools, fi lled in anonymous questionnaires. Gender differences were found in both bullying and cyberbullying with boys bullying others more than girls. However, no ethnicity differences were found. Some se-condary school pupils discussed their opinions and views on these fi ndings. Results are considered in relation to previous research and the nature of cyberbullying.
