Invisible Bruises: Kindergartners' perceptions of bullying

&
Pages 163-177 | Published online: 21 Jul 2010
 

Currently, few studies address kindergartners' perceptions and understandings of bullying. This study describes 15 Canadian kindergartners' graphic and narrative representations (drawings and stories) of their bullying experiences. Content analysis of the students' drawings and stories explored how they perceived bullying within the context of their lives. In general, findings showed that kindergartners perceive bullying situations as occurring during one-to-one peer interaction and not within social group situations. This study's results are discussed in relation to its socio-emotional, spiritual, and holistic educational implications.
