This brief presents a new approach to the study of bullying and
prejudice in school settings, analyzing the particularities of
these two forms of violence and relating them to the hierarchies
that distinguish students based on academic performance and
popularity. Analyzing data gathered by surveys carried out between
2010 and 2014 with 274 students from public schools of Sao Paulo,
Brazil, the authors show that, despite bullying and prejudice are
related, they have specific characteristics that need to be
acknowledged in order to help educators develop more efficient
initiatives to prevent them. Building upon the Critical Theory of
Society - especially Adorno's studies of authoritarian personality
and school hierarchies - the authors develop a theoretical
framework that helps researchers and educators to identify the
particularities of bullying and prejudice and develop specific
strategies to deal with them. In addition, the empirical and
theoretical elements presented in the book show how these forms of
violence are related to the two hierarchies that exist side by side
in schools - the official hierarchy that distinguishes good and bad
students based on their academic performance and the unofficial
hierarchy characterized by the distinction between those who excel
in dating, fighting, in team sports and those who do not excel in
any of these activities. This innovative volume: * Argues that
bullying and prejudice are different forms of school violence that
demand different theoretical and practical approaches * Examines
data gathered by surveys carried out with 274 students of public
schools in Sao Paulo, Brazil, between 2010 and 2014 * Relates
bullying and prejudice to the hierarchies that distinguish students
based both on their academic performance and popularity * Analyzes
the impact of factors such as autonomy from the school authority
and the ideology of authoritarianism on bullying and prejudice*
Presents strategies to fight bullying and prejudice in schools
Bullying, Prejudice and School Performance: A New Approach is a
useful and innovative tool for psychologists, educators,
sociologists, school teachers and researchers in the fields of
child and school psychology, educational psychology, sociology of
education and related disciplines.
