Children's Views on Teasing and Fighting in Junior Schools.

Mooney, Ann; And Others

Educational Research, v33 n2 p103-12 Sum 1991

A sample of 175 British 7-year olds was interviewed, and 114 were reinterviewed at age 11. Results showed teaching and fighting to be common in school life. More boys than girls were teased or involved in fighting. Although over half said racial teasing occurred, very few said it happened to them. Retaliation was the most frequent coping strategy. (SK)
