The basis of Social Norms Approach regarding the prevention of bullying and violence in schools and adolescent peer groups is communicating true peer norms—what the majority of students actually do and what the majority think is the right way to treat others—based on credible data drawn from the school or community. As students adhere to a more accurately perceived norm that is kinder and more considerate of peers than originally perceived, the actual positive norm becomes even stronger as the process of misperception supporting the problem behaviour is reversed. Youth become less likely to get involved in bullying and less likely to remain as bystanders accepting this behaviour in others. This workshop presents the patterns of bullying misperceptions commonly found in secondary schools in research conducted in both the US and the UK, demonstrates how the social norms approach has been applied to bullying prevention in schools with practical examples, and provides evidence of the positive impact of employing this approach in reducing bullying.
