Disclosing or Hiding Bullying Victimization: A Grounded Theory Study from Former Victims' Point of View
School Mental Health, v13 n4 p808-818 Dec 2021
This study aimed to investigate the process of disclosing bullying victimization from the former victims' point of view. Twenty-three individuals with prior experience of victimization at school were interviewed. A grounded theory approach was used to analyze the data, which generated a grounded theory of help-seeking in victimization, comprising factors and conditions that influenced the willingness to ask for help when bullied. We concentrated on disclosure barriers and facilitators in a school context to identify important factors, which comprised type of peer harassment, type and form of initial attack, perception of available support at school, and perception of peer support. In terms of the practical implications of the present study, the identification of disclosure tendencies could provide a basis for developing school policies to facilitate disclosure.
