Early Warning Signs of Violence Often Overlooked, Study Finds

Many teachers and counselors often overreact to one-time, physical confrontations between kids and overlook nonviolent behaviors that can cause even more damaging, long-term emotional and social problems.

Richard Hazler surveyed 251 teachers and counselors in Ohio to assess their understanding of bullying and non-bullying behaviors. Participants were given 21 scenarios of different emotional and physical confrontations between kids and asked to identify which were bullying situations. The study was presented at the American Counseling Association World Conference in April.

Most participants between 50 percent and 80 percent, depending on the individual scenario labeled non-bullying situations as bullying, suggesting that professionals are not clear about which situations they should react to and how they should react.
