Abstract |
Many countries have adapted or adopted the Olweus Bullying Prevention Programme after it was reported that there was a significant reduction in levels of bullying and being bullied. The positive changes were maintained 20 months after the intervention. The objective of this study was to examine the efficacy of the Olweus prevention programme in reducing bullying in selected schools in Malaysia. This study used an experimental pre-test/post-test comparison including a control group involving six secondary schools. Results showed some indication of the effectiveness of the bully-intervention programme in one of the schools. Intervention at the classroom level showed more positive results. |
