Abstract Details

2012, Doctor of Philosophy, University of Toledo, Psychology.
This study examines how parental hostility, parental depression, and overall parenting skills contribute to child bullying and the effectiveness of the ACT Parents Raising Safe Kids (ACT-PRSK) program at reducing child bullying. Seventy-two parent participants completed a parent symptom inventory, parenting skills measure, and child symptom inventory, which evaluated the presence of child bullying behaviors. Of the 72 parent participants, twenty-five participated in the ACT-PRSK program and 27 parent participants served as comparisons. Results indicate that parental hostility is the only significant predictor of child bullying for the entire sample. Data suggests, however, that there may be a difference in the relationship between parental factors and child bullying by child gender. Furthermore, results show that the ACT-PRSK group evidenced a significant reduction in bullying behaviors, suggesting this intervention can make an important contribution to the prevention of bullying and that parental hostility should be a significant component addressed in bullying prevention.
