4、demic performance but also on their physical and psychological health, the various forms of bullying being calling names,physical abuse, teasing, spreading rumors, provoking, social exclusion and threatening. Minimal s

6、ngst studies carried out worldwide. This estimate is higher than that reported by Kshirsagar et al. who found the bullying in Maharashtra to be 31.4%.Similarly,in a study done in Newham,London,the rate was found to be on

7、ly 22.4%.Glen M Glew et al. in his study found the prevalence to be 19.1%. Also,the prevale</p><p>　　It was seen that the most common forms of bullying were non-physical,like calling names(57.9%),followed by

8、 making fun of one’s looks(15.5%)and degrading(15.2%)where as physical forms of bullying like hitting formed only 12.5%.A similar finding was made by Kshirsagar et wherein the commonest forms were calling names,followed

9、by making fun and lastly causing physical hurt. But it must always be remembered that even non physical forms of bullying can lead to harmful effects. A pattern was noted in </p><p>　　A very characteristic f

10、inding was noted regarding the person the victim confided in.The victims’confidence in heir friends increased with age whereas that in their teachers decreased with age.A large fraction of students chose not to confide i

11、n anyone.This shows that many students do not take any action about getting bullied either due to fear or ignorance.</p><p>　　Bullying is not a harmless phenomenon,but is associated with physical and psychol

12、ogical problems.Majority of the students reported feeling sad and depresses(39.7%)about being bullied.Of all the victims 47.3%complained of health problems while only 20.2%of students who were not bullied complained of a

13、ny problems.According to the study done by Kshirsagar et al. all the bullied children reported at least one symptom,while only 52.5%of the children who were not bullied complained of any health probl</p><p>

14、　　It was alarming to note that only a meager amount of 20 teachers participated in the interview and a significant number of them refused to even admit that bullying was prevalent in their school.This probably is because

15、 of the fear of bad reputation in the minds of the teachers leading to denial of the social evil.A majority of the teachers chose to punish(58.6%)instead of counsel(5%)which highlights the inadequate training the teacher

16、s have concerning the methods of preventing bullying.The knowl</p><p>　　It was seen that the victims of bullying do not actively participate in class,had an evident decrease in general performance,developed

17、inferiority complex and found it difficult to get along with other students.Teachers play a key role in preventing and intervening with bullying at school,but they have very little training on how to effectively deal wit

18、h such problems.Hence,teachers must be educated about ways in which they can control bullying and they should also work together with clinicians </p><p>　　Keeping in mind that bullying is a serious problem,i

19、t is essential to conduct extensive research to highlight the high prevalence of bullying on our country and to deduce methods of dealing with it.Teachers,parents and pediatricians must take this issue seriously and enco

46、was that the body satisfaction of elementary-school-aged children would be significantly correlated with their total self-concept,particularly for girls.This hypothesis was supported.Girls with high body satisfaction sco

47、res tended to have high self-concept scores.In fact,for girls,49 percent of the variance in self-concept is explained by variance in body satisfaction.For boys,however</p><p>　　The second hypothesis was that

48、 the frequency of body criticism a child receives from others would be negatively correlated with his/her body satisfaction.In general,the results of the study provided mixed support for this hypothesis.As predicted,crit

49、icism from peers is significantly correlated with a child's body satisfaction.These results coincide with research by Levine et al.(1994)which looked at body criticism and body satisfaction in an older population of

50、females.Levine et al.found that th</p><p>　　Unexpectedly,the present study did not find significant relationships between parental criticism and body satisfaction.This is in conflict with the findings of Lev

51、ine et al.(1994),who found that weight/shape-related teasing and criticism by family were related to body concerns in middle school girls and Killeen(1993),who found that children's self-esteem reflects their own vie

54、n.However,the present study revealed an interesting pattern where mothers'body satisfaction predicts body satisfaction in their sons,while fathers'body satisfaction predicts body satisfaction in their daughters.T

56、.,1988),new findings suggest otherwise.Phares(1997)found that the father/daughter relationship appeared to be problematic in families with an eating-disordered daughter.Maine(1991)also concluded that fathers contribute t

61、的形式多種多樣，包括罵人、身體虐待、取笑、散布謠言、惹動、社會排斥。最早關(guān)于這一領(lǐng)域的研究是在印度開展的。欺負(fù)行為在印度廣泛存在，但是還沒有相關(guān)的措施可以來對付這種具有潛在危險的社會危害。因此，本研究旨在評估校園欺負(fù)行為的發(fā)生率以及與之相關(guān)聯(lián)的常見的兒童癥狀，從而引起人們對這一問題的高度關(guān)注。</p><p>　　這項(xiàng)研究顯示，欺負(fù)行為在這一國家的這一區(qū)域的學(xué)校中高度盛行，同時，在這一研究中的欺負(fù)行為的盛行率為6

62、0.4%，這可能是世界研究中最高之一。這估計比Kshirsagar報告的還要高，Kshirsagar報告的欺負(fù)率是31.4%。相似的，在Newham,London的研究報告只有22.4%。在Glen M Glew的研究中，這種流行率為19.1%。同時，這種流行率在男孩中高于在女孩中，在男子學(xué)校中高于女子學(xué)校。年齡因素也直接關(guān)系到欺負(fù)行為，研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，在8-13歲的孩子中呈增長的趨勢，在年紀(jì)大一點(diǎn)的孩子中則呈減少的趨勢。，這可能是由于年紀(jì)大

63、一點(diǎn)的孩子會受他們周圍世界的影響。這正也完全符合Roberto的研究。欺負(fù)行為的發(fā)生率在六歲到八歲之間由31.1%增長到35.8%，然后到十歲以后就下降到32.4%。</p><p>　　可以看出，最常見的欺負(fù)方式不是身體方面的，例如罵人（57.9%）、嘲笑他人的外形(15.5%)、貶低他人(15.2%)，而身體上的欺負(fù)，如同打卻只有12.5%。一個類似的發(fā)現(xiàn)是由Kshirsagar得出，他發(fā)現(xiàn)最常見的欺負(fù)方式是

64、罵人，其次是開玩笑，最后是身體的傷害。但必須時刻記住，即使沒有身體上的傷害，也仍然會造成嚴(yán)重的后果。在欺負(fù)的形式方面，男孩更傾向于采用身體的虐待和嘲笑他人的外貌，而女孩更普遍的采用疏遠(yuǎn)或向老師抱怨的方式。這可能是由于男孩具有的外向和侵略本性，而女孩則比較溫和，所以女生喜歡安靜的抱怨，而不是通過動手來解決問題。</p><p>　　一個特色的發(fā)現(xiàn)是受害者的信任感。受害者對朋友的信任會隨著年齡的增長而增加，而對老師的

66、負(fù)的孩子不抱怨任何健康問題。在目前的研究中，最常見的身體反應(yīng)時頭痛和肚子痛，緊隨其后的是大小便失禁和發(fā)燒。Kshirsaga指出，頭痛和經(jīng)常生病被認(rèn)為是最常見的癥狀。因此，醫(yī)生在診斷小孩原因不明的癥狀時應(yīng)該考慮到欺負(fù)這種可能性的因素，并給出適當(dāng)?shù)男睦碇С帧?lt;/p><p>　　令人擔(dān)憂的是，只有很少的20名老師參加了訪談，并且有相當(dāng)數(shù)量的人拒絕承認(rèn)欺負(fù)行為流行于他們的學(xué)校。這可能是因?yàn)楹ε聦處煯a(chǎn)生不好的名聲，從

74、題也存在于小學(xué)生之間。研究表明，一種對肥胖的恐懼、對減肥的意愿、節(jié)食和其他對身體比例的擔(dān)憂和行為存在于這種年輕的年齡群（Smolak and Levine,1994）。這種由飲食失調(diào)引起的短期的和長期的，生理的和心理的嚴(yán)重后果要求我們阻止這種趨勢在學(xué)生之中的繼續(xù)發(fā)展。研究人員正在審查卷入進(jìn)食障礙的相關(guān)因素。</p><p>　　Rodin（1992）表明，廣泛的進(jìn)食障礙可能主要來源于對身體的極端關(guān)注。一個人身體的

75、體型和外觀已經(jīng)成為一些重要的個人自我價值感，以至于他們單純的從其身體來進(jìn)行判斷。已經(jīng)有很多研究可以證明Rodin的理論。Nassar,Hodges,and Ollendick（1992）的一項(xiàng)研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，年輕少女們的自我概念與對吃的態(tài)度存在著相關(guān)關(guān)系。Fisher,Schneider,Pegler,Napolitano（1991）發(fā)現(xiàn)青少年女性越是報告對體重的不滿意，她們的自我概念也越低。Koff,Rierdan,Stubbs（1990）

76、的一項(xiàng)調(diào)查顯示，在青少年男性和女性中，對身體的滿意度與自我概念聯(lián)系在一起。在這一領(lǐng)域的研究主要著眼于青少年和年輕成年人對身體的態(tài)度和自我概念之間的關(guān)系。很少有人在孩子之中研究這些變量，然而就孩子對體重的態(tài)度的研究表明，身體的滿意度對自我概念的影響也存在于這個年輕的年齡群。孩子們對渾圓的身體表達(dá)出了消極的態(tài)度（Kirkpatrick and Sanders,1978）。如果一個孩子對他人的態(tài)度基于他人的身體形狀，那么他們自己的身體形狀也很

77、有可能關(guān)系到他們對自己的看法。然而</p><p>　　對身體的滿意度與自我概念的相關(guān)可能并不是存在于每一個孩子之中。例如，社會標(biāo)準(zhǔn)將身體的大小作為評判女性美麗的決定因素，因此會鼓勵所有的女性非常關(guān)心他們的身體外觀（Adams et al.,1993），然而這種標(biāo)準(zhǔn)對男性則沒有那么苛刻。這種社會的雙重標(biāo)準(zhǔn)可以看出男性和女性對待身體關(guān)注的不同。Murray,Touyz, Beumont（1995）發(fā)現(xiàn)作為一個整體，

78、女性比男性更有可能報告他人對于她們對身體的形狀與體重的態(tài)度和行為的影響。Thelen,Powell,Lawrence,Kuhnert（1992）發(fā)現(xiàn)在四---六年級中，與男生相比，女生表示更加關(guān)注體重過重，節(jié)食習(xí)慣，節(jié)制飲食行為和變得更加苗條的意愿。由此看來，相比男生來說，年輕的女孩子在自我態(tài)度的形成中會更加注重她們的身體。</p><p>　　父母對身體的態(tài)度和飲食習(xí)慣會影響到他們的孩子。Evans, le G

79、range（1995）選取一些患有進(jìn)食障礙的母親們與她們的孩子和正常的母親們與她們的孩子作為小樣本來研究對身體的滿意度。研究結(jié)果表明孩子對身體的滿意度與母親對自己體重與體型的滿意度之間存在著顯著的相關(guān)關(guān)系。在目前的研究中，孩子們報告他們父母的外形通常作為父母對身體滿意度的評價標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。早期的研究表明，孩子對他人行為習(xí)慣的報告很準(zhǔn)確（(Aloise,1993)。</p><p>　　其他研究顯示，父母的態(tài)度通過明確的信

80、息會影響孩子的身體的態(tài)度。Thelen, Cormier（1995）聲稱，父母會直接對孩子表達(dá)出他們對身體的態(tài)度。這些研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，女兒的體重，對減肥的意愿，節(jié)食模式正與她們的父母鼓勵女兒去控制體重有關(guān)。Levine,Smolak, Hayden（1994）發(fā)現(xiàn)，中學(xué)女生的體重/體型觀與家庭的嘲笑/批評有關(guān)，也與減肥的意愿和打亂了的飲食模式有關(guān)。</p><p>　　家長對身體的批評也會影響孩子的自我概念。Kille

82、的密切關(guān)系，在決策過程中對父母的服從程度都會減少（Paikoff ,Brooks-Gunn,1991）。與此同時，青少年開始尋求與同年人的親密交往。因此，青春期是一個同伴影響日益增長，父母影響日益減少的典型時期，尤其是在個人的興趣和生活方式上（(Myers,1992)。越來越深刻的同齡人對身體滿意度的影響也反映在較年長的小學(xué)生中：孩子受到同年人對身體的批評越多，他們對身體的滿意度和自我概念也就越低。</p><p&g

83、t;<b>　　討論</b></p><p>　　這三個主要假設(shè)是完全，至少是大部分可信的。此研究的主要假設(shè)是小學(xué)生對身體的滿意度與他們的自我概念呈顯著相關(guān)，特別對于女孩來說。這個假設(shè)是得到支持的。女孩對身體的滿意度越高，她們自我概念的得分也就越高。事實(shí)上，對于女孩來說，在自我概念方面49%的變動是 由于對身體滿意度的變動。然而對于男孩來說，這種相關(guān)還沒有達(dá)到統(tǒng)計學(xué)的意義。這些研究結(jié)果支持這

84、樣的設(shè)想，即，在自我態(tài)度的形成過程中，她們比男孩更注重自己的身體。這種傾向可能來源于西方社會的信念，那就是：女性比男性更注重身體的吸引力(White,1992)。同樣，在Thelen的報告中說到，在四到六年級中，女孩比男性在身體滿意度與自我概念之間表現(xiàn)出更強(qiáng)的相關(guān)。有次看來，在這個年輕群體中，身體滿意度對自我概念扮演了不一樣的角色。從這些研究中可以看到一個很明顯的結(jié)論，那就是對身體的滿意度直接影響了年幼的孩子如何看待自己。這種關(guān)系也從深

85、一層次解釋了為什么這么多小學(xué)生對體重和飲食習(xí)慣表現(xiàn)出關(guān)心。</p><p>　　第二個假設(shè)是，他人對孩子身體的頻繁批評與孩子對自己身體的滿意度呈現(xiàn)負(fù)相關(guān)。一般來說，這項(xiàng)研究的結(jié)果給這個假設(shè)提供了混合的支持。正如所預(yù)測的那樣，同班的批評與身體的滿意度呈顯著性相關(guān)。這些研究結(jié)果符合Levine關(guān)于年級稍大的女性如何看到批評與身體滿意度的研究。他發(fā)現(xiàn)，相當(dāng)一部分的中學(xué)女生對自己的身體感到不滿意是又由于受到了同伴對自己體

86、重和外形的嘲笑。也正如人們所預(yù)料的那樣，在目前的研究中，年齡稍大的孩子比年齡稍小的孩子更在意同伴對自己的批評?？赡苓@正反應(yīng)了同伴對青少年兒童日益增長的影響。他還發(fā)現(xiàn)，相比男生來說，女生對身體的滿意度與同齡人的批評的聯(lián)系更為緊密。雖然這個結(jié)果并沒有被預(yù)測到，但這似乎并不是特別令人意外，在我們的文化中存在著雙重標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，女性比男性更為注重身體外觀。</p><p>　　出乎意料的是，在目前的研究中還沒有發(fā)現(xiàn)父母的批評與身

87、體的滿意度之間存在顯著的關(guān)系。這與Levine的研究存在沖突，他發(fā)現(xiàn)在中學(xué)女生中，來自家庭對體重和外形的嘲笑和批評會形象到她們對身體的滿意度。Killeen也發(fā)現(xiàn)，孩子的自尊，反映了他們?nèi)绾螌Υ改冈谝话愫途唧w領(lǐng)域?qū)λ麄兊脑u價。由于目前研究的缺陷，所以對于身體滿意度與父母批評之間的關(guān)系還是不明確的。參照之前關(guān)于同伴批評的研究，所以很可能是這次研究所用的身體批評量表并不適用于對這一類型和數(shù)量的父母批評進(jìn)行測量，還需要經(jīng)過進(jìn)一步的研究來檢測

88、這個量表的效度。</p><p>　　第三個假設(shè)認(rèn)為，一個孩子理解到到父母對身體的滿意度與孩子自己對身體的滿意度呈正相關(guān)。結(jié)果發(fā)現(xiàn)，總的來說，父母對身體又較高的滿意度，那么孩子的對身體的滿意度也就越高。然而，目前的研究顯示了一項(xiàng)很有趣的形態(tài)，那就是母親對身體的滿意度預(yù)測了她們的兒子對身體的滿意度，父親對身體的滿意度預(yù)測了女兒對身體的滿意度。這些發(fā)現(xiàn)，關(guān)乎了兩者的整體關(guān)系和異性母子模式，似乎都符合Evans的研究，

89、他們發(fā)現(xiàn)，孩子對身體的滿意度與母親對她們的體重和體型的滿意度之間存在著一種聯(lián)系。他們還發(fā)現(xiàn)這種關(guān)系在進(jìn)食障礙者的母親與孩子之間的關(guān)系變現(xiàn)的最為強(qiáng)烈，而且超過四分之三的都是男孩。</p><p>　　此外，雖然大多數(shù)研究人員認(rèn)為，對進(jìn)食障礙者女孩來說，家庭中最重要的關(guān)系式母女之間的關(guān)系，但是新的研究表明并不是這樣。Phares發(fā)現(xiàn)，對于進(jìn)食障礙者女孩來說，父女關(guān)系似乎還未解。Maine得出結(jié)論：父親導(dǎo)致她們的女兒患

90、有進(jìn)食障礙。異性效應(yīng)的發(fā)現(xiàn)為目前的研究補(bǔ)充道：這一新的關(guān)于身體的研究可能為父女關(guān)系的進(jìn)一步研究提供了支持。未來的研究應(yīng)該探討異性父母/子女的關(guān)系從而來驗(yàn)證這些結(jié)果，并由此推斷其他年齡段這種關(guān)系存在的可能性。</p><p>　　這次調(diào)查的結(jié)果對于治療兒童和未成年人的低自我概念具有指導(dǎo)意義，甚至可能預(yù)防和治愈飲食的問題。顯然，小學(xué)生對身體的滿意度和總體的自我概念存在著相關(guān)，尤其對于女生來說。因?yàn)檫@種關(guān)系已經(jīng)卷入到了

91、飲食問題，所以應(yīng)該較早的實(shí)施預(yù)防計劃，關(guān)注健康問題。這次調(diào)查的研究結(jié)果建議治療計劃應(yīng)該集中在異性父母對身體的滿意度，因?yàn)樗麄儠苯佑绊懙胶⒆?，父母對身體表達(dá)了不滿，那么他們的孩子對身體的滿意度也會降低。反過來說，處于低自我概念的兒童，他們患有飲食失調(diào)的可能性也會增加。這個順序（父母對身體的不滿意導(dǎo)致兒童對身體的不滿意，從而導(dǎo)致低自我概念，進(jìn)而產(chǎn)生飲食失調(diào)問題）應(yīng)該在將來的研究中擴(kuò)大樣本數(shù)來檢驗(yàn)，或許采用路徑分析。</p>
