Title: Reaching Out vs. Lashing Out: Gender Differences in Responses to Bullying in High School

Presenters: Rebecca M. Goldberg, PhD and Melanie Walsh, MS

Description: This session focuses on recent relevant research conducted by the lead presenter examining high school bullying gender differences. This session focuses on recent relevant research in which we found that male students both experience and perpetrate significantly more physical bullying and experience more verbal bullying.
