Bullying behaviours can be divided into indirect forms, such as: physical violence, mental and verbal abuse or blackmail, and direct forms which can include: non-overt aggression.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
This statement is false because it states that direct forms of bullying can include "non-overt aggression." However, direct forms of bullying are typically characterized by overt and visible acts of aggression, such as physical violence or verbal abuse. Non-overt aggression refers more to indirect forms of bullying, where the aggressor may use tactics like manipulation or exclusion to harm the victim. Therefore, the statement is incorrect.Rate this question:

Children who are bullied may suffer from loss of self-image for the rest of their lives; such can be the extent of the affects.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
Bullying can have a significant impact on a child's self-image and self-esteem, but it is not accurate to say that the effects will last for the rest of their lives. While the emotional scars may linger, with the right support and intervention, children who have been bullied can heal and rebuild their self-image over time. It is important to provide a safe and supportive environment for these children to help them recover from the negative effects of bullying.Rate this question:

The process of ‘deindividuation’ or ‘social loafing’ which is untypical of any of the group members when alone is the opposite of altruism - ‘behaviour that benefits other individuals even when there is a cost involved to the altruist’.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The given statement is true. Deindividuation refers to the process where individuals lose their sense of individual identity and responsibility when they are part of a group. This can lead to a decrease in self-awareness and an increase in impulsive and antisocial behavior. Social loafing, on the other hand, is when individuals exert less effort when working in a group compared to when they are working alone. Both deindividuation and social loafing are examples of behavior that is opposite to altruism, which involves selflessly benefiting others even at a personal cost.Rate this question:

Witnessing bullying as a member of a group and intervening to help the victim can be described as a form of diffusion of responsibility.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
Witnessing bullying as a member of a group and intervening to help the victim cannot be described as a form of diffusion of responsibility. Diffusion of responsibility refers to the phenomenon where individuals are less likely to take action or help in a situation when others are present. However, in this scenario, the person is actively intervening to help the victim, which goes against the concept of diffusion of responsibility.Rate this question:
