Summary

Through the use of an educational intervention, the object of this study is to reduce the prevalence of bullying behaviors among fifth grade school age children. Bullying behaviors promote an environment of violence , fear, and hostility. The study will arrange to present six character education lessons in the classroom of fifth grade students in a New York City public school. Questionnaires will be administered to the students before and after all the lessons have been completed. Questionnaires will collect information about the students self perception of their levels of misconduct, impulsivity, confidence, value of non violence, ways of handling anger, opinions of their leadership behaviors, prevalence of bullying behaviors, and indications of levels of self esteem. Also, their fifth grade teachers will complete pre and post treatment student behavioral questionnaires.
