Bullying behavior among youths has been a long-standing problem that parents and educators spend a great deal of time trying to combat. In particular, relational aggression, due to its covert nature and the difficulty in identifying the behavior, presents a greater challenge to youths, parents and educators and warranted further investigation. This covert behavior appears to peak in middle school and is employed at a higher rate by girls. Thus, a qualitative approach was used to examine the experiences and perceptions of relational aggression of middle school girls, their parents and middle school educators. Three separate focus groups were conducted with girls, parents and educators and data was analyzed through a social ecological lens. This study also aimed to examine the responses of the participants and the perception girls hold regarding how their parents and teachers respond to reports of relational aggression. Results indicate that boys are engaging in this behavior more than previously observed and youths are exhibiting aggressive behaviors towards their peers via technological devices and social networking sites more so than in person. Additionally, results indicated that training for both parents and educators on how to identify these behaviors, as well as how to respond to them, is needed. Further, results indicated a disconnect in the communication among girls, parents and educators which the participants report exacerbates the problem of relational aggression in schools.

The teachers in this action research study examined the problem of relational aggression at Whirlwind Academy. Relational aggression can be defined as the purposeful manipulation of peer relationships with the intent to cause harm. Associated behaviors may include social exclusion, gossip, clique-forming, and cyber bullying. The nine teachers analyzed middle school girl behaviors to identify relational aggression, effective relational aggression intervention, and their own confidence to intervene. In addition to the teachers' collaboration, they met twice with a panel of seven middle school girls to better understand the students' first-hand experiences with the problem. This action research process enabled the teachers to self-reflect about their own experiences with relational aggression and how their personal histories influenced their practices as teachers. By the conclusion of the study, the teachers had changed their identification of relational aggression among their girls at Whirlwind and preventative interventions. They reported that they needed additional support by the school administration to feel confident enough to change their reactive interventions in a sustainable way. This action research process may be duplicated with other teachers or schools to facilitate site-specific relational aggression intervention training.

Relational aggression seems to invoke more emotional and academic difficulties for girls in middle school than any other age group. In this research, the author describes the different types of aggression often used by middle school girls in their social relationships. The author sought to find out why girls participate in relational aggression, either as perpetrators or as victims and what meaning they make of this aggression. The author concludes with implications for school personnel with emphasis on school counselors. [The dissertation citations contained here are published with the permission of ProQuest llc.

A graduate student created and implemented a classroom guidance activity with middle school students on the topic of relational aggression. The purpose of this activity was to promote awareness on the prevalence of relational aggression and measure the sample student's participation in relationally aggressive behaviors. A twenty item pre and postsurvey on aggression was given to a sample of 75 students at a Western New York middle school. The sample included 41 females and 34 males, ranging in age from 12-14. The sample included students from Caucasian, African American, Hispanic, and Asian racial backgrounds. Also included is a review of the current literature on relationally aggressive behaviors, differences in boys and girls in respect to relational aggression, the importance of relationships, cliques and popularity, the impact of aggression, and rationale for school based awareness and intervention. The project demonstrated that most students reported relationally aggressive behaviors before the classroom guidance activity was presented. There was an approximate 7% decrease in relationally aggressive behaviors on 17 of the survey items. Three of the survey items showed a 6% increase in reported behavior after the guidance activity. The project demonstrated that relational aggression occurs among boys and girls, and that it occurs across different racial groups. It also demonstrated that relational aggression is an important issue among middle school students. Implications for school based awareness, prevention, and intervention are necessary to combat relational aggression are also presented.

Bullying has become a topic of concern in schools because it can have such an impact on the overall school experience for a student. The purpose of the current research study was to determine the prevalence of a particular form of bullying, relational aggression, among middle school girls at a private school and the effects of the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program (OBPP) on the behaviors and attitudes of these students. An explanatory mixed-methods approach was taken to collect both quantitative and qualitative data by the use of two separate surveys in two phases of the study. The Phase I survey, the Olweus Bullying Questionnaire (OBQ), was administered to all Grades 3-8 students on three occasions and quantitative data was compared from year to year. The Phase II survey, the Relational Bullying Survey for Girls, was given once shortly after the third OBQ, only to Grades 6-8 girls; qualitative data was collected. Results indicated that relational aggression was prevalent at the school site among middle school girls, with higher rates of prevalence in sixth grade. Exclusion and rumor spreading were found to be primary ways to bully others. Interventions by other students were more likely to happen as perceived by their peers since the initial implementation of the program. Many girls' attitudes and behaviors have changed about bullying despite some student criticism of the OBPP. The program seemed to have mixed effects, some negative and some positive. The qualitative data showed that some girls felt the program was not taken seriously and activities were not well suited to middle school. However, some responses stated that the program has increased the awareness of bullying and its effects on students and their school experience. It has also empowered students to stand up for themselves and others. For future reference, fidelity of implementation is essential to the success of a school-wide bullying program.
