Abstract
Reports an error in "Can a school-wide bullying prevention program improve the plight of victims? Evidence for risk × intervention effects" by Jaana Juvonen, Hannah L. Schacter, Miia Sainio and Christina Salmivalli (Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 2016[Apr], Vol 84[4], 334-344). In the article there was an error in Table 2 of the Results. The Victimization, BL × Intervention interaction term was marked significant in the Attitudes Toward School column (".023(.02)**"). However, this interaction was not statistically significant and the two asterisks should be removed in Table 2. The correct table is provided. (The following abstract of the original article appeared in record 2016-03231-001.) This study was designed to examine whether a school-wide antibullying program, effective in reducing incidents of bullying, can also reduce the harm associated with victimization. Specifically, we test whether baseline victimization moderates the KiVa program intervention effects on school perceptions, depression, and self-esteem. Relying on a randomized control sample consisting of 7,010 fourth to sixth grade Finnish elementary school students, self-report data were examined using multilevel modeling across 39 intervention and 38 control schools over a 12-month period. The KiVa program was particularly effective in facilitating perceptions of a caring school climate among students who were most victimized before the intervention, while program benefits on attitudes toward school did not vary by level of victimization. The intervention effects on depression and self-esteem were strongest only among the most victimized sixth graders. The results suggest that antibullying programs designed to improve the school ecology can alleviate the plight of the victimized and underscore that harm reduction should be assessed by testing risk × intervention effects when evaluating effectiveness of such programs.
