Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q3 i? For non-deprived children, the likelihood of reporting bullying rises with school-level deprivation, whereas deprived children report bullying irrespective of their school's deprivation level. → Fink 2017
Evidence¶
Fink 2017¶
Fink, E., Patalay, P., Sharpe, H., & Wolpert, M. (2017). Child- and School-Level Predictors of Children's Bullying Behavior: A Multilevel Analysis in 648 Primary Schools. Journal of Educational Psychology. http://dx.doi.org/10.1037/edu0000204
q3 · i? · associational · r2
Multilevel model 5A testing child-by-school demographic interactions; including demographic interactions significantly improved the model, D(8) = 30.93, p < 0.001, explaining an additional 0.2% of variance. Figure 1 depicts the interaction. No standardised effect size is printed in the reporting sentence.
"The only interaction term that independently predicted bullying behaviour was the child deprivation by school deprivation interaction, such that for non-deprived children the likelihood of reporting being a bully decreased with decreasing school-level deprivation."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Child-level demographic factors (male gender, deprivation, Black ethnicity, SEN status) predict self-reported bullying behaviour in primary school — related
- School size, gender balance, ethnicity, SEN and EAL composition do not significantly predict bullying, and child-by-school-climate interactions are null — related
- Poorer school climate is associated with greater self-reported bullying behaviour, independently of child- and school-level demographics — related
- Schools account for 9.1% of variance in children's bullying behaviour before predictors are included — related
