Summary
This study tests a new approach to prevent bullying and cyberbullying among 3,000 elementary school students. The program uses an educational videogame and teacher-led class sessions to teach kids how to handle bullying from all sides—as a victim, bully, or bystander. Researchers will compare students who get the program to those who don't, tracking changes in behavior and attitudes for up to two years.
