Participant Child’s Bully/Victim Group Membership and Action Choices
A Chi-Square (Ҳ 2 ) Test for Independence was used to the following null hypotheses:
There is no relation between the proportions of children’s CBVS Action Choices (Prosocial vs.
Aggressive) and children’s membership in a Bully/victim group (Nonbully/Nonvictim vs. Victim
vs. Bully vs. Bully/Victim).
The non-significant Chi-Square (Ҳ 2 ) (3, N=632) = 5.65, p = .1299, Cramers’ V = .0945,
shows that there is no significant dependency between Bully/Victim Group Membership and
CBVS Action Choices. Therefore, I conclude that the frequency of Action Choices is not related
to children’s Bully/Victim Group Membership. See Table 41 and Figure 10.
