On the accuracy of German teachers’ identification of pupils involved in bullying
- The subject of this study is the accuracy of teacher judgements regarding identification of perpetration and victimisation behaviour in German schools. We examine whether the portion of involved pupils is overestimated or underestimated, the agreement among pupils’ and teachers’ perceptions at the individual level, and factors influencing the accuracy of teacher judgements. Participants were n = 85 class teachers and n = 1401 pupils. Results indicate that teachers are overestimating the number of pupils involved in bullying as victims or bullies slightly, while agreement between pupils’ and teachers’ judgements is low at the individual level. Teachers’ judgements of perpetration behaviour are influenced by pupils’ school performance. Results are discussed in terms of their implications for handling bullying in schools and for teacher education and training.
