Prenatal and family precursors of bullying involvement in childhood and their consequences into early adulthood
Lead Research Organisation:
University of Warwick
Department Name: Psychology
Abstract
Research on bullying started in earnest in 1982 when three young boys killed themselves in short succession in Norway, all leaving notes that they had been bullied by their peers. Many more suicides in children attributed to bullying have occurred since then. Killing oneself is the most extreme form of escaping the bullies. If not self-harm, being a victim of bullying can lead to a range of mental health and physical health problems in childhood. The increasing evidence of harm by bullying led to a conference on the prevention of bullying organised by President Obama and the First Lady in March 2011. In the President's words "If there's one goal of this conference, it's to dispel the myth that bullying is just a harmless rite of passage or an inevitable part of growing up. It's not." (1)
However, whether children can put their experiences aside once they graduate from school, or whether involvement in bullying throws a long shadow over the lives of affected children is unknown. The first objective of this study is to find out about the long term effects of being bullied on health, work life and success, crime involvement and social adaptation in young adulthood. This will be accomplished by studying the effect of bullying in childhood on young adult outcome in two long term studies, the Avon Longitudinal Study in the UK (ALSPAC) and the Great Smoky Mountain Study in the USA (GSMS) that investigated children up to 18 and 26 years, respectively.
Most approaches to beat bullying to date have focussed on schools. School interventions have been shown to have some but limited effects on reducing rates of bullying. To develop new innovative prevention or intervention strategies beyond the school setting, it is important to understand what makes children likely targets of bullies even before they enter school. Families are the primary place where children learn rules of how to behave, negotiate with their parents and siblings, or where they observe how parents and siblings treat each other and deal with conflicts. Thus when parents are harsh or hostile in their parenting or often fight with each other, does it affect how children deal with bullying by peers? Furthermore, even before the child is born, stress in pregnancy can affect the development of organs such as the brain and how children later deal with stress. Unknown is whether stress in pregnancy may make some children more likely to become targets of bullying because they show easily a reaction such as getting upset or start crying. Bullies home in on children who show strong emotional reactions. Finally, being a member of an ethnic minority group may result in more bullying. The second objective is to find out whether stress in pregnancy (family adversity, maternal anxiety and depression), family relations in the preschool years (i.e. problematic partner relationships, parenting) and individual characteristics (how emotional the child is, ethnicity) predicts who becomes a victim or bully at school age.
The findings will help to develop new strategies to strengthen families and children and prevent children from becoming the target of bullying or use bullying to torment other children.

Planned Impact
Understanding the precursors of peer victimisation and their effects on social relationships, work life and income generation, involvement in crime and health in early adulthood is important to improve the nations wealth, health and culture.
The beneficiaries from this research are:
1. Academia (e.g. psychologists, psychiatrists, social scientists, economists, criminologists, public health professionals, genetic epidemiologists) nationally and internationally. The impact will be on theory development and development of an interdisciplinary research programme (understanding mechanisms, prevention research)
2. Public Sector. This includes the sectors involved in health delivery in pregnancy and postnatal (i.e. NHS, GPs), preschool services (e.g. sure start, nursery education, parent education), schools (teachers) and services for promoting skills for young people in their transition to employment (e.g. Departments of Work and Pensions; Education)
3. Third Sector. The findings will have high relevance for the Anti-Bullying Alliance (e.g. NSPCC, Childline, Beatbullying, Kidscape, National Bullying Helpline, Childrens Society etc.).
4. General Public. Bullying is high on the list of parent and school children's concern. It would highlight potential pathways to help.
5. Business/Industry. There are no direct commercial implications. However, should victimised children show poorer adaptation to employment, dealing with these past experiences could increase productivity and development of employee potential. Resulting intervention tools that could be IT based (serious games) would require industrial developers.
How might they benefit from this research?
1. The research makes a contribution to understanding health and wellbeing of children and adults. It has direct implications for educating health professionals. Awareness about the long term sequelae of bullying helps to integrate this into practice: e.g. the GP asking about bullying in children and young people as precursor of presenting symptoms. The development of potential interventions that are NHS linked (e.g. NIHR).
2. If employment, income generation or dependence on social benefits is related to peer victimisation in childhood, then strengthening individuals to resist victimisation and promote positive peer relationships (prevention, intervention) may be a highly cost effective investment for social welfare and public services.
3. Third sector. The results on adult outcome would strengthen their fund raising abilities. Findings will inform their information campaigns, training and development of prevention and intervention strategies. The findings may have implications for third sector funders of research into pregnancy (e.g. Tommy's), health (Wellcome Trust), child development and education (e.g. Nuffield Foundation, Jacobs Foundation).
Pathways to Impact
1. The findings are new and would allow for high impact publications in academic journals.
2. The findings will be disseminated at an international and national conference for professionals. It is likely to generate further interest for presentation at special interest group conferences.
3. The applications includes a special dissemination workshop that will present the main findings targeted at multiple stakeholders: Third sector delegates (charities involved with children and bullying), Public sector (invitees from Education and Work and Pension Department), Teacher delegates (via teacher unions, organisations), health service delgates, public figures involved in bullying prevention (e.g. Esther Rantzen, Fiona Bruce); academics.
4. Communication activities with the media will be facilitated and coordinated by the Press Office at the University of Warwick. Press releases are likely to be generated by release of the findings in academic journals, conferences and the final dissemination event. Furthermore, a podcast and summary fact sheet will be produced by the research team.

Description | Key findings Being bullied in childhood has long-term adverse consequences for health, academic achievement, social relationships, jobs and wealth. Being bullied highly increases the risk of developing psychiatric problems including depression, anxiety and psychotic experiences in early adulthood. Bullied children are at higher risk of self-harm and suicide. Bullies are found almost equally in all socio-economic groups, and being bullied is experienced in all ethnic groups to a similar degree. Bullied children have mothers who were more stressed during pregnancy than mothers of non-bullied children, suggesting that antenatal factors may alter how children react to peer stress. Harsh or overprotective parenting and poor sibling relationships increase the risk of children being bullied at school. A significant minority of bullied children never tell their parents or teachers and suffer in silence. Bullies themselves suffer no long-term adverse outcomes. Policy relevance and implications Policy interventions to prevent bullying need to extend beyond schools to include agencies across the community - eg GPs, sports clubs, after-school clubs - to recognise signs of bullying and take appropriate action. Investment in educational services for bullied children who are unable to go to school should be increased so they can recover and gain confidence in dealing with their peers. GPs should be trained to recognise signs of problematic peer relationships and routinely ask about peer relationships when treating children with mental health problems, non-specific health problems (eg headaches, stomach ache, nightmares) or indications of self-harm. Pregnant women should be given more advice and support from midwives and GPs on anxiety, depression and stress during pregnancy, as these may make their child more prone to being bullied. There is a need for a national campaign to raise awareness among parents of sibling and peer bullying, including signs of a child being bullied, how to talk to your child, and constructive ways of supporting your child and communicating with their school. Innovative online resources should be developed, such as bullying scenarios to help parents and children explore |
Exploitation Route | They have already been taken forward by incorporating in health consultations bullying as an area to explore for mental or physical health problem. Has been taken up by some clinics and we have recommended in publications for clinicians (e.g.): Dale, J., Russell, R., & Wolke, D. (2014). Intervening in primary care against childhood bullying: an increasingly pressing public health need. Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, 107(6), 219-223. doi:10.1177/0141076814525071 Scott, E., Dale, J., Russell, R., & Wolke, D. (2016).

Description | Our project investigated the causes and consequences of bullying behaviour and we have published 13 articles in leading peer reviewed journals (e.g. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Psychological Science and Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry) during our funding period. All our publications received extensive media coverage in newspapers (e.g. The Guardian, Reuters, and Daily Mail), online journals (e.g. BBC News Webpage), international news networks (e.g. ABC, Reuter) and on radio and TV (e.g. BBC1 Breakfast, News24, BBC radio 5 live). Moreover, Professor Wolke recorded an interview about the effect of bullying into adulthood for a new series of BBC 1 called "the Gift" (a reality TV programme) which was aired 17.2.2015 in prime time (9 pm). Overall our research has been reported as far afield as Chile and Indonesia as well as extensively in Europe and the US. To increase international awareness to our research, we have also attended two conferences: Pediatric Academic Societies Annual Meeting, 2014 (PAS) and Society for Research in Child Development, 2013 (SRCD). Our presentation at the PAS conference was selected for press release and we had several media interviews after the presentation. In the UK, while amendments to the Children and Families' Bill were going through the parliament, the All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Bullying invited Professor Wolke to give a talk at their meeting about the consequences of bullying and potential policy implications. Our research contributed greatly to the debate regarding the potential amendments to the Bill. At the end of our project, we disseminated our policy relevant findings through a round table discussion at the House of Parliament. We were able to reach policy makers, charity representatives and academics; and overall, 43 people attended. During the event, Professor Wolke presented our major findings which followed by a panel discussion moderated by Baroness Brinton. The panel consisted of Carrie Herbert (the chair of Red Balloon charity), Holly Smale (Internationally best-selling author of the anti-bullying series "Geek Girl") and Professor Wolke. Our event received very positive feedback from the attendees and we established good relationships with charities (such as Red Balloon and Kidscape) and policy makers. We believe that our research reached millions of people highlighting the long shadow bullying thrown over the lives of children by bullying. We have received thousands of emails and tweets from people all around the world sharing their stories and feelings. Our research has even been tweeted by three White House members. Moreover, we have helped the Child and Family Public Engagement Board (CAFPEB) of the Royal College of Psychiatrists to create a fact sheet on bullying. We have also been asked to speak in 2015 at the Times Cheltenham Science Festival in the Main Programme on Bullying and its effects to reach a wide audience of lay people. We are currently working with charities such as Red Balloon and Kidscape in developing grant applications to identify protective factors that help children in the face of bullying. This understanding will assist parents, teachers, primary care practitioners and policy makers to provide adequate support for children who are potential targets or are being bullied to develop their potential and build on their strengths to deal with future challenges. This will help us to develop and evaluate new innovative intervention approaches. |
