The Impact of School Climate and Social Support on Bullying Tendencies in Vocational High School Students
Bullying is aggressive behavior involving a power
imbalance between the victim and the perpetrator. A negatively perceived school climate can increase maladaptive behaviors, including bullying. Social support, encompassing a sense of being valued, loved, and cared for also play a critical role in reducing bullying. This quantitative study aims to examine the influence of school climate and social support on bullying tendencies among vocational high school students. Using a cross-sectional online survey, 343 students participated as respondents.
