To explore the relationship and mechanism of school loose-tight culture to middle school bullying, a total of 808 students were selected from three middle schools in Dehong Prefecture, Yunnan Province of China, to conduct a questionnaire survey. The study used the school loose-tight culture scale, the collective moral disengagement scale, the collective efficacy scale, and the bullying scale for middle school students. The results showed that (i) school loose-tight culture significantly predicted the occurrence of school bullying; (ii) school loose-tight culture was significantly negatively correlated with collective moral disengagement and school bullying but positively correlated with collective efficacy. Further, collective moral disengagement was significantly positively correlated with school bullying, but collective efficacy was significantly negatively correlated with school bullying; (iii) school loose-tight culture inhibited school bullying through the dual mediating effects of collective moral disengagement and collective efficacy at the same time.

As part of a continuing effort in data analysis, Mr. Denis presented a ride-to-the-park graph (fig. 1) to his middle school students and checked their understanding of the way the data were entered. “What do the numbers across the bottom of the graph tell us about Alba's ride? What about those in the left-hand column? [Pointing to (9, 6)] This point is not above any number. What does it represent?”

The aim of the current study was to examine use of moral disengagement among middle school students as bystanders to bullying, as well as the links between four domains of moral disengagement and bystander’s behaviors in bullying episode, including pro-bullying, victim-defending and passive bystanding behavior. Participants included 736 adolescents from the urban area of Hanoi (Mage = 13.69; 53.1% male). According to the main hypotheses, all four domains of moral disengagement were negatively correlated with victim-defending behavior and positively correlated with passive bystanding behavior, whereas only three sets of mechanisms were found to be related to pro-bullying behavior, including minimizing one’s agentive role, consequences distortion, and victim attribution. Linear regression analyses indicated that bystander’s behaviors were predicted by minimizing one’s agentive role. Differences regarding gender and grade were also found. These results highlight the importance of particular moral disengagement sets of mechanisms and have potential implications for prevention tackling bullying.

In many religious education classrooms, the meaning of a sacred text is treated as something stable and authoritative. A teacher’s job is to transmit that meaning to students. This study reports on a year-long intervention conducted in a seventh grade Hebrew Bible classroom in which students were asked to find their own meaning in the biblical text. The study found that religious text classrooms can offer a unique opportunity to support positive youth development when an effective interpretive community is created.
