The present study sought to explore in depth whether mainstream primary school students are exposed to peer bullying and, if so, how they cope with this problem. Interviews were held with 13 Turkish primary school students (Mage=10.76), the majority of whom were victims, and one of them was a bully. The study group consisted of nine boys (Mage=10.88) and four girls (Mage=10.5). Data were collected through a semi-structured interview form developed by the researchers. Among participants, physical bullying is experienced the most. It is followed by verbal and emotional bullying. No sexual bullying case was reported. Victims employed various coping strategies, most of which were individual-oriented, such as ignoring the bullying or warning the bullies. However, the most frequently reported strategies were adult-oriented, particularly involving class teachers. Familial (e.g., parental divorce), psychological (e.g., feelings of maternal abandonment), and socio-economic (e.g., financial hardship) challenges may underlie the emergence of bullying behaviours.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">677-688</style></section></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Danuta Umiastowska</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ewa Szczepanowska</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">PHYSICAL AND MOTORIC DEVELOPMENT OF CHILDREN IN YOUNGER SCHOOL AGE PARTICIPATING IN EXERCISES OF CORRECTIVE GYMNASTICS</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Problems of Education in the 21st Century </style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">children</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">corrective gymnastics</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">motoric development</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2009</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">June/2009</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://oaji.net/articles/2014/457-1393667026.pdf</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">13</style></volume><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">In contemporary school, children more and more frequently appear with different faulty postures. This phenomenon is still dangerously expanding because XXI century civilization changes in our lifestyle encourage them to be non active. Children spent more time watching TV and using computers than participating in physical exercises. In Polish schools, at classes’ I-III, children with faulty postures participate in obligatory corrective gymnastics exercises. In this work, the results of research carried out in preliminary schools of West Pomeranian Province are shown. In this research 288 pupils of younger school age (7-12 y.o.) are examined. In this group anthropometrical measurements are collected (body mass and body height) and the level of motoric efficacy is determined by the Test of Physical Fitness (developed by the International Committee on the Standardization of Physical Fitness Tests). The statistical analysis of the obtained results shows the differentiation in levels of physical fitness. This is related to the kind of faulty posture. Lower levels of physical fitness are presented by pupils with over- or underweight of body mass.</style></abstract><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">110-114</style></section></record></records></xml>
