We examined whether perceived parents’ prosocial educational goals moderate the association between social competencies (social perspective-taking, openness to diversity) and hate speech perpetration in schools. In total, 1,719 adolescents (aged 11–18 years) from 22 Swiss schools completed selfreport questionnaires (December 2020 to April 2021). Social perspective-taking and hate speech perpetration correlated negatively, alongside openness to diversity and hate speech perpetration. Perceived parents’ prosocial educational goals strengthened the negative association between openness to diversity and hate speech perpetration in schools but did not moderate the association with social perspective-taking.

In Deutschland werden im vierjährigen Turnus jeweils Heranwachsende im Alter von 11, 13 und 15 Jahren zur Gesundheit, zum Gesundheitsverhalten und zu sozialen Rahmenbedingungen befragt. Der Beitrag widmet sich der Beschreibung der HBSC-Studie und speziell der Methodik des aktuellen Surveys 2022 sowie der vorherigen Erhebungen von 2009/10 bis 2017/18. Methode: Am Survey 2022 beteiligten sich 174 Schulen mit insgesamt 6.475 Schülerinnen und Schülern. Die Erhebung erfolgte mittels Fragebogen und erfasst ein breites Themenspektrum (u. a. mentale Gesundheit, Bewegungsverhalten, Mobbingerfahrungen, soziale Determinanten der Gesundheit sowie Erfahrungen im Zusammenhang mit COVID-19). Ergänzt wurde die Erhebung 2022 um eine Schulleitungsbefragung (N = 160). Neben der aktuellen Stichprobe werden auch die Stichproben der vorangegangenen drei Surveys mit repräsentativen Angaben für Deutschland vorgestellt: 2009/10 (N = 5.005), 2013/14 (N = 5.961) und 2017/18 (N = 4.347). Diskussion: Die Kinder- und Jugendgesundheit hat eine hohe Public-Health-Relevanz. Dazu leistet die HBSC-Studie einen elementaren Beitrag, denn sie liefert international vergleichbare Ergebnisse, ermöglicht die Analyse von Trendentwicklungen und stellt umfangreiche, repräsentative Daten zum Gesundheitsmonitoring für Stakeholder bereit.

Zur Verbreitung eines Risikofaktors für die psychische Gesundheit unter 11- bis 15-jährigen deutschen Schülerinnen und Schülern T2 - Bundesgesundheitsblatt - Gesundheitsforschung - Gesundheitsschutz N2 - Hintergrund Einsamkeit ist sowohl im öffentlichen als auch im wissenschaftlichen Diskurs ein zunehmend präsentes Thema. Es liegen inzwischen zahlreiche Forschungsergebnisse zur Verbreitung und zu den gesundheitsbezogenen Zusammenhängen von Einsamkeit bei Erwachsenen vor. Zur Einsamkeit im Kindes- und Jugendalter gibt es für Deutschland nur wenige Erkenntnisse. Vor diesem Hintergrund stellt dieser Beitrag Befunde zur Verbreitung von Einsamkeit bei 11- bis 15-jährigen deutschen Schüler*innen vor und untersucht Zusammenhänge mit soziodemographischen Merkmalen. Methoden Die Studie „Health Behaviour in School-aged Children“ (HBSC) ist eine globale Forschungskooperation unter Schirmherrschaft der Weltgesundheitsorganisation (WHO). In Brandenburg erfasste die Studie Daten von 3819 Kindern und Jugendlichen an allgemeinbildenden Schulen in den Klassenstufen 5, 7 und 9 (MAlter = 13,5, SD = 1,6). Einsamkeit wurde anhand der University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) Loneliness Scale und eines Einzelitems erhoben. Ergebnisse 13,2 % der Befragten gaben an, sich „meistens“ einsam zu fühlen, „immer“ einsam fühlten sich 3,6 %. Einsamkeit war stärker ausgeprägt bei Mädchen, bei Schüler*innen mit der Geschlechtszuschreibung „divers“ sowie bei älteren Heranwachsenden und bei Kindern und Jugendlichen mit niedrigerem sozioökonomischen Status. Diskussion Die Befunde weisen darauf hin, dass Einsamkeit bei Kindern und Jugendlichen ein weit verbreitetes Phänomen ist. Dass sich Mädchen, ältere Schüler*innen sowie Kinder und Jugendliche mit geringerem familiären Wohlstand einsamer fühlen, stimmt mit Ergebnissen aus anderen Ländern überein und liefert Ansatzpunkte für die Planung von Präventionsmaßnahmen. Es bedarf in Deutschland weiterer Forschung zu möglichen gesundheitsbezogenen Zusammenhängen von Einsamkeit.

In Germany, adolescents aged 11, 13 and 15 are surveyed every four years about their health, health behaviour and social conditions. This article describes the HBSC study and in particular the methodology of the current 2022 survey and prior surveys conducted between 2009/10 and 2017/18. Method: 174 schools with a total of 6,475 students participated in the 2022 survey. The survey was conducted using questionnaires and covered a wide range of topics (including mental health, physical activity, bullying experiences, social determinants of health and experiences related to COVID-19). The 2022 survey was complemented by a school principal survey (N = 160). In addition to the current sample, the samples of the three previous surveys with representative data for Germany are presented: 2009/10 (N = 5,005), 2013/14 (N = 5,961) and 2017/18 (N = 4,347). Discussion: The health of children and adolescents is of great public health importance. The HBSC study makes a substantial contribution by providing internationally comparable results, analysing trends, and providing stakeholders with comprehensive and representative health monitoring data.

Hence, the present study used a person-centered analysis to investigate latent hate speech bystander profiles. In addition, individual and classroom-level correlates associated with the various profiles were studied. The sample included 3225 students in grades 7–9 (51.7% self-identified as female; 37.2% with immigrant background) from 215 classrooms in Germany and Switzerland. The latent profile analysis revealed that four distinct profiles could be distinguished: Passive Bystanders (34.2%), Defenders (47.3%), Revengers (9.8%), and Contributors (8.6%). Multilevel logistic regression models showed common and distinct correlates. For example, students who believed that certain social groups are superior were more likely to be Revengers and Contributors than Passive Bystanders, students who felt more connected with teachers were more likely to be Defenders, and students who were more open to diversity were less likely to be Contributors than Passive Bystanders. Students were less likely Defenders and more likely Revengers and Contributors than Passive Bystanders in classrooms with high rates of hate speech perpetration. Further, in classrooms with high hate speech intervention, students were more likely to be Defenders and less likely to be Contributors than Passive Bystanders. In classrooms with stronger cohesion, students were more likely to be Defenders and less likely to be Contributors than Passive Bystanders. In conclusion, the findings add to our understanding of bystander profiles concerning racist hate speech and the relevance of individual and classroom-level factors in explaining various profiles of bystander behavior.

T1 - Parent-Teacher Collaborations in Preventing and Tackling Bullying and Cyberbullying: A Systematic Review T2 - World Anti-Bullying Forum 2023, October 25–27, 2023, North Carolina, U.S.A. N2 - Introduction Research on bullying prevention and intervention is very often conducted against the theoretical background of socio-ecological models (e.g., the socio-ecological diathesis-stress model; Swearer & Hymel, 2015). This leads to a special focus on different social contexts, without which the complexity of bullying processes cannot be understood. In recent years, the role of the teacher in the bullying process has received special attention in research (Colpin et al, 2021). The importance of the teacher's actions in reducing existing bullying or preventing further bullying has been highlighted in various works, and the need to include teachers in anti-bullying measures and to train them actively in bullying intervention behaviour is emphasised in meta-analyses (Gaffney et al., 2019, 2021; Van Verseveld et al., 2019). When it comes to concrete steps for teachers, many anti-bullying programmes also emphasise the involvement of parents, which in some countries also results from legal requirements. A meta-analysis showed that school-wide anti-bullying programs with a component of parental involvement can be successful in reducing bullying perpetration and victimization (Huang et al., 2019). Furthermore, the involvement of parents is also important against the background of socio-ecological theory models, as parents represent a significant socialisation context. Cooperation between home and school can influence the behaviour of students as an influence from the mesosystem. However, only a few studies go beyond the requirement of such cooperation, and also the information provided on parent components in anti-bullying programs are limited (Huang et al., 2019). The aim of the systematic review is to identify research findings that provide information on the effectiveness and nature of home-school cooperation in bullying prevention and intervention. Method The aim is to identify and analyse literature that looks at 1) both the school context and the family context and 2) the interaction of the two contexts in relation to bullying occurrence, bullying development, bullying prevention and bullying intervention. For this purpose, a systematic literature search is conducted in the databases Cochrane Library, EBSCO, PsycINFO, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. In addition, a call for grey literature will be distributed in relevant networks (e.g., International Society for Research on Aggression, national psychological societies in Germany, Austria, England, and Norway). The search term has not yet been finalised, but will contain the terms "Bully*", "Parent* OR Home" and "School OR teacher", which will be connected by AND. Both qualitative and quantitative studies will be included with no restrictions on the publication period. Publications in English and German will be included (other languages cannot be included, as only one person in the research team speaks another language and thus no double coding can take place). In the coming months, the research group will create and test a detailed coding manual specific for the research questions of the review. The quality assessment will be done through an established tool for qualitative and quantitative publications (e.g., Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool MMAT, Hong et al., 2018). The screening of titles, abstracts, and keywords according to inclusion and exclusion criteria as well as the full coding of the included publications will each be carried out by two persons. Interrater reliability will be calculated. Results Results are not yet available. We will be able to present the first results at the WABF. These will include, in particular, an overview of the identified relevant literature (e.g., number, information on publication types, sample size and country, result of quality assessment) and its research questions, as well as the summary of the identified results. Conclusion Through the systematic review, we will provide an up-to-date, comprehensive overview of the current state of the literature on parent-teacher collaboration in the context of bullying prevention and intervention. Detailed conclusions will be drawn from the initial findings, which can be presented at WABF. Implications for research/practice The comprehensive and up-to-date research review will identify research gaps and provide suggestions for future research on parent-teacher cooperation in the bullying context. By processing findings on the effect of the family and school developmental context on bullying processes when both contexts are considered simultaneously, implications for practice can also be expected. Previous findings call for collaboration between home and school in addressing bullying, and in some cases, as in the meta-analysis by Huang et al. (2019), depict its impact. However, details on the design of this cooperation, on hurdles and challenges, on legal frameworks and on aspects of cooperation that support a successful effect of cooperation are largely missing. By systematically compiling the findings to date, we provide not only academics but also practitioners with an up-to-date overview of the findings. This will enable practitioners to train teachers on collaborating with parents when incidents of bullying has occurred under consideration of recent scientific findings, supporting the practical usage of scientific findings.

On the prevalence of a risk factor for mental health T2 - Book of Abstracts, 37th Annual Conference of the European Health Psychology Society N2 - Background: Loneliness is an increasingly present topic in both public and health psychology discourse. There is increasing research on the prevalence and health-related correlates of loneliness in adults. There are only a few findings on loneliness in childhood and adolescence in Germany. Therefore, this study aims to present findings on the prevalence of loneliness among 11- to 15-year-old German schoolchildren and examines associations with socio-demographic characteristics. Methods: The Health Behaviour in School-aged Children study is a global research collaboration under the auspices of the World Health Organization. In the state of Brandenburg, the study used a cross-sectional design to collect data from 3,819 children and adolescents at general education schools in grades 5, 7, and 9 (Mage = 13.5, SD = 1.6). Loneliness was assessed using the University of California Los Angeles Scale (UCLA). Calculations were made using SPSS 29. Bivariate correlations were tested using a cross-tabulation and Chi2 test, and logistic regression was used for multivariate validation of the correlations. Findings: 10.8 % of the respondents stated that they felt lonely. Loneliness was more pronounced among girls and non-binary (χ² (2) = 72.72, p < 0.001), as well as among older adolescents (χ² (2) = 35.21, p < 0.001, V = 0.107) and students with lower socioeconomic status (χ² (2) = 16.94, p < 0.001). Discussion: The findings indicate that loneliness is widespread among children and adolescents. The fact that girls, older pupils and children and adolescents with lower family wealth are more lonely is consistent with findings from other countries and provides starting points for planning prevention measures. Further research is needed in Germany on possible health-related correlates of loneliness.
