Abstract

This study examines the use of role-play in order to investigate bullies' intentions, feelings and perceptions through identification and projection. The study was conducted with nine 12-year-old boys that presented high levels of bullying behaviour, according to their teachers and peers, from three state primary schools in Nicosia, Cyprus, with different social characteristics. The results were analysed in the light of social information processing. During the role-play activity, the boys appeared to project their personal experience either as bullies or as victims onto the characters presented. The results of this study suggest that role-play can be used as a means to explore boys' perceptions of bullies' intentions, feelings and perceptions and can contribute to a better understanding of bullying.
