Is Cyberbullying a Stand Alone Construct? Using Quantitative Analysis to Evaluate a 21st Century Social Question
Using a subsample of the 2009 National Crime Victimization Survey, School Crime Supplement (NCVS-SCS), the present study explores the nature of the relationship between cyberbullying and traditional bullying victimization among students aged 12โ18. One question of particular interest in the recent cyberbullying literature regards the classification of cyberbullying relative to traditional school yard bullying. As is the case in the cyber victimization literature in general, the question has become whether cyberbullying is an extension of traditional bullying or whether it is a unique independent phenomenon. Using the available data we attempt to address this question by exploring cyberbullying victimization as a standalone construct. Results of exploratory factor analyses suggest that cyberbullying victimization is both interlaced with traditional bullying modalities, and experienced as a unique phenomenon. Our results contribute a 21st century texture and dimension to the traditional construct
School disorder, victimization, and general v. place-specific student avoidance
This study utilizes a national sample of 3, 776 high-school students to test two theoretical models of school avoidance behavior. More specifically, this study examines the relationships between student avoidance and both school disorder (or, incivilities) and previous victimization experiences. Further, the study also examines whether the presumed effects of incivilities and victimization on avoidance operate indirectly, through student fear. Negative Binomial regression analyses showed that perceived disorder in the form of presence of gangs and previous bullying victimization are key sources of student fear. In turn, student fear is positively correlated with two distinct types of avoidance behavior. Interestingly, controlling for student fear does not dissolve the significant, positive effects of perceived gang presence and bullying victimization.

"IT'S HARD TO BE EVERYTHING AT ONCE": ISRAELI ARAB WOMEN BALANCING WORK, FAMILY AND COMMUNITY ROLES / ืงืฉื ืืืืืช ืืื ืืื ืขืช: ื ืฉืื ืขืจืืืืช ืืฉืจืืืืืช ืืืฉืจืืช ืืื ืงืจืืืจื, ืืฉืคืื ืืงืืืื ืืืจืชืืื
This research provides insight into the experiences of employed Arab women living in a traditional, Middle Eastern culture where most women (nearly 65%) are not employed outside the home. 287 Arab Israeli women reported on their personal experiences of balancing a career with family and community responsibilities from within a culture where womenโs employment is non-normative and subject to significant social disapproval. Quantitative analyses indicated that the women perceived more benefits (role expansion) than costs (role conflict) related to their employment even within the context of their parenting role. Qualitative data provided a more nuanced account as the women described both benefits and costs associated with possessing multiple roles, some they perceived as unique to their culture, others they perceived as being universal for all women. This work highlights the importance of understanding work-family balance and perceptions of maternal employment within non-Western, traditional cultures where womenโs entry into the workforce is more recent and non-normative. Our participantsโ voices add to the literature significantly by examining the real-time experiences of women who are actively breaking traditional gender norms from within a traditional society and who are on the front lines of societal change.ืืืงืจ ืื ืืกืคืง ืชืืื ื ืืืืืืืชืืื ืฉื ื ืฉืื ืขืจืืืืช ืืขืืืช ืงืจืืืจื, ืืืืืช ืืชืจืืืช ืืืจื ืชืืืื ืืช ืืกืืจืชืืช ืฉืื ืจืื ืื ืฉืื (ืืืขื 65%) ืืื ื ืืืขืกืงืืช ืืืืฅ ืืืืช. 287 ื ืฉืื ืขืจืืืืช ืืืืืื ืขื ืืืืืืชืืื ืืืืฉืืืช ืฉืืื ืืืืฉืืจ ืืื ืงืจืืืจื, ืืืจืืืช ืืฉืคืืชืืช ืืืืจืืืช ืืืจืชืืช ืืชืื ืชืจืืืช ืฉืื ืงืจืืืจืช ื ืฉืื ืืื ื ื ืืจืืืืืืช ืื ืชืื ื ืืืืกืจ ืืกืืื ืืืจืชืืช ืืฉืืขืืชืืช. ื ืืชืืืื ืืืืชืืื ืืฆืืืขื ืขื ืื ืฉืื ืฉืื ืชืคืกื ืืืชืจ ืชืืขืืช (ืืจืืืช ืชืคืงืื) ืืืฉืจ ืขืืืืืช (ืงืื ืคืืืงื ืชืคืงืืืื) ืืงืฉืืจืืช ืืขืืืืชื ืื ืืืงืฉืจ ืฉื ืชืคืงืืื ืืืืจื. ื ืชืื ืื ืืืืืชืืื ืกืืคืงื ืชืืืืจ ืฉืื ื ืืืืื ืื , ืฉืื ืื ืฉืื ืชืืืจื ืื ืืชืจืื ืืช ืืื ืขืืืืืช ืืงืฉืืจืืช ืืืขืื ืชืคืงืืืื ืืจืืืื, ืืืงื ื ืชืคืกื ืืืืืืืืื ืืชืจืืืชื, ืืืจืื ื ืชืคืกื ืืืื ืืืจืกืืืื ืขืืืจ ืื ืื ืฉืื. ืืืงืจ ืื ืืืืืฉ ืืช ืืืฉืืืืช ืฉื ืืื ืช ืืืืืื ืืื ืขืืืื ืืืฉืคืื ืืชืคืืกืืช ืฉื ืชืขืกืืงืช ืืืืืืช ืืชืื ืชืจืืืืืช ืืกืืจืชืืืช ืื ืืขืจืืืืช ืฉืืื ืื ืืกืช ื ืฉืื ืืฉืืง ืืขืืืื ืืื ืืืจ ืืืฉ ืืื ื ืืจืืืืื. ืืงืืืืช ืฉื ืืืฉืชืชืคืื ืฉืื ื ืืืกืืคืื ืืกืคืจืืช ืืืืคื ืืฉืืขืืชื ืขื ืืื ืืืื ืช ืืืืืืืช ืืืื ืืืช ืฉื ื ืฉืื ืฉืฉืืืจืืช ,ืืืืคื ืคืขืื, ื ืืจืืืช ืืืืจ ืืกืืจืชืืืช ืืชืื ืืืจื ืืกืืจืชืืช ืืฉื ืืฆืืืช ืืืืืช ืืฉืื ืื ืืืืจืชื.ย Article visualizations
