ABSTRACT

School bullying represents a pervasive and detrimental issue within educational settings worldwide, exerting significant negative impacts on the psychological well-being, social development, and academic performance of students. This comprehensive study endeavors to establish a robust theoretical foundation for understanding and addressing school bullying by meticulously dissecting its conceptual underpinnings, typologies, theoretical frameworks, and causal mechanisms. Employing a multidisciplinary approach, the research integrates ecological systems theory, social learning theory, and social cognitive theory to elucidate the intricate interplay of individual, interpersonal, and environmental factors that contribute to bullying behaviors. The findings underscore the efficacy of holistic prevention strategies and multifaceted intervention approaches in mitigating the prevalence and severity of bullying incidents, thereby fostering a conducive learning environment that promotes the holistic development of students. This study not only contributes to the theoretical discourse on school bullying but also furnishes practitioners and policymakers with empirically grounded, actionable insights to inform policy formulation and intervention design. The implications of this research extend beyond the confines of academic settings, offering a nuanced perspective on the broader societal implications of bullying and the potential for collaborative, systemic solutions to enhance the safety and well-being of all students.
