abstract="The purpose of this research was to determine the frequency of bullying in elementary school children and to examine gender and age differences. A total of 472 students in grades 1-6 in Calgary, Alberta completed a bullying survey. The frequency of bullying was somewhat higher than previously reported by others. In grades 4 to 6,27% experienced both physical and verbal bullying, 21% experienced verbal bullying, and 5% reported physical bullying. Reports of bullying experienced by students in grades I to 3 were similar. Using self-report data from students in grades 4 to 6, a stepwise regression analysis indicated that higher perceived school safety and more teacher support were associated with less verbal bullying. The implications of these findings are discussed below.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
