Abstract in brief

  • Many school-based antibullying programs are effective, reducing both bullying perpetration by about 19-20% and victimization by 15-16%, according to previous research.
  • The current study analyzed which specific program components (like whole-school approaches, policies, classroom rules, peer involvement, and work with victims) are linked to better outcomes, finding that certain elements significantly increase effectiveness.
  • Having more components did not necessarily make programs more effective; instead, specific components such as peer involvement and providing information to parents were especially associated with reduced bullying and victimization.]
