Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to acquire an understanding of secondary school students’ experiences of covert bullying within the context of their socio-cultural and economic environs. The methodology is a sequential exploratory design with much greater weighting on the initiating ethnographic study as a means of illuminating students' voices while harnessing authentic data to inform the subsequent quantitative study. The study is currently in progress. To date, seventeen open, unstructured individual interviews plus two group sessions (with twelve participants) have been carried out with an eclectic mix of adolescents from varying socio-economic backgrounds attending different schools - private, traditional and non- traditional.
