Summary

This study tested two methods to help male high school students in Tehran deal with cyberbullying: direct training by a psychologist and peer-led training where students taught each other. A total of 252 students from grades 9-11 took part, and their emotional intelligence and bullying roles were measured before and three months after the program. The goal was to see which approach works better and whether such programs are feasible in schools.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: social skills training (direct instruction or peer-led)
What this could lead to: If successful, this could point toward effective school-based programs to reduce cyberbullying and improve emotional skills in teenagers.
What could go wrong: This is a small, completed study in one city, so results may not apply to other regions or genders. The training may not change real-world bullying behavior long-term.
