Earlier research on interventions focused on a distinction between bullying and peer conflict. There have been many attempts to differentiate between these two types of behavior. Most definitions of bullying focus on the aggressor's intent to harm, on repetition, and on a difference in status of power between the two parties. Many people in this field now question whether we can ever tell what someone intends or whether we can be sure there is a power differential. More importantly, we know that harm can be done even if no harm is intended - or that harm can be done by people of equal status to us. Thus, in this course, we will focus on actions by peers which have the potential to do harm, rather than just on "bullying" behaviors. We will call those actions: "Peer Mistreatments." This two-hour online course provides everything you need to know about dispelling myths surrounding peer mistreatment to help you build and implement an effective bullying prevention program.
