How can I hear what happened at school before deciding how to respond at home?
Parenting is considered alongside classroom climate when examining bullying. Both settings matter when adults ask a teenager about conflict.
Who was studied?
Four hundred and eight adolescents and parents in central China.
Age / stage: Ages 15–18
Read with three questions
- Which reports of bullying came from adolescents, parents or the school?
- Whose perspective is represented by the ratings, and whose perspective is missing?
- How can I hear what happened at school before deciding how to respond at home?
