Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Bullying is recognized as a public health problem. According to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, the phenomenon is global and prevalence rates are high in both developed and developing countries. In terms of definition, bullying is characterized by repetitive and intentional episodes of violence based on unequal power relations between victims and aggressors. Multiple variables are associated with the phenomenon, and problems of a mental health or psychosocial nature have been documented in the scientific literature. Intervention initiatives are also verified, especially those recognized as multi-level. Although the literature on bullying provides important information, the studies available to date do not provide a clear picture of the process of victimization and the impacts on students' mental health. Therefore, this Special Issue of International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (IJERPH) focuses on explication, in an exploratory manner, how mental health variables are related to bullying victimization, as well as to document intervention initiatives occurring around the world. New research papers, reviews, case reports and conference papers are welcome to this Issue. Papers dealing with new approaches about bullying are also welcome. Other accepted manuscript types include methodological papers, position papers, brief reports, and commentaries. We will accept manuscripts from different fields of knowledge (education, psychology, school health, etc.).
