And older children and children who live in homes where their primary language is not English, and

6、s Health. Parents of children age ten to seventeen were asked whether their child bullies or is cruel or mean to others.Not surprisingly, how a parent acts may also influence whether or not a child becomes a bully.RASHMI SHETGIRI:We found that parents who frequently get angry with their children and

11、helpless to do anything about it.【参考翻译】这里是VOA慢速英语教育报道。今天是我们关于欺凌这个话题讨论的最后一个报道。上个星期我们也陆陆续续地收到很多网友给我们的流言，现在我们就有关问题访问一下本周在加拿大的儿科学术社团发表相关演说的研究员，看看他们的想法。Rashmi Shetgiri是在得克萨斯大学西南医学中心和达拉斯儿童医学中心大学的儿科医生。 RASHMI SHETGIRI：“有大约百分之三十的美国儿童涉及到欺凌这个话题，根据最新的数字，其中有大约百分之十三是欺凌者，受害者占百分之十一，另外还有百分之六则既是欺凌者也是受害者。” Shetgiri博士

12、的最新研究表明，父母可以通过改善与子女的沟通与交流来防止这种情况的发生。这个研究也找出了，对增加或减少这样的风险的相关因素。 RASHMI SHETGIRI：“那些有情绪问题或成长问题的孩子，和母亲精神健康欠佳的孩子更容易被欺负。大一点的孩子或者家里的主要语言不是英语的孩子，会主动完成自己的功课，一般不太可能被欺负。“ 另一个不同之处：研究发现，与白人儿童相比，非洲裔和拉丁裔儿童更容易被欺负。 在这项研究中，研究人员参照了儿童健康2000 7全国调查。询问了10至17岁之间儿童的父母，关于他们的孩子是否欺或者对别的同龄人态度恶劣。 毫不奇怪，父母的行为也可能影响一个孩子是否成为欺负的对象。 R

13、ASHMI SHETGIRI：“我们发现，如果父母经常与子女生气，觉得孩子们常常做的事情带给他们很多，他们的孩子更有可能成为欺负别人的人。如果父母与孩子交流思想并与他们交谈，这样的孩子多是不太可能成为被欺负的对象。“ 内布拉斯加大学的心理学家苏珊Swearer说，学生与教师的沟通也可以减少欺凌现象。她说，研究表明，这样有利于改善欺凌现象和尊重的行为。有的方案还试图让人们进行干预，以制止欺凌。 SUSAN SWEARER：“很多关于预防和干预欺凌的方案，重点针对旁观者，这些往往被证明是对的，因为他们改变了旁观者的行为。因此与其看欺负发生，旁观者可以通过这些研究明白如何站起来，支持和帮助那些受害的

14、孩子，让他们知道你知道我们没有这样做，在这里，我们没有参与这些孩子的行为。”Swearer教授呼吁家长及教师，应该试图让孩子们谈谈关于欺负的现象。否则孩子可能会感到无奈和无助，做不了什么来改变。 以上就是VOA特别英语教育报告，由Nancy Steinbach撰稿。1.bully n. 欺凌弱小者，土霸，开球如：Dont let them bully you.
