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.
