TL;DR: This paper investigated the effects of individual characteristics (gender, depression, and delinquency), teacher practice (support and maltreatment), and school organizational factors (school size and pupil-teacher ratio) on adolescents' verbal and physical bullying behaviors.

TL;DR: The overall results suggest strong similarities in risk factors found in the West and school violence in Taiwan point toward using similar strategies developed in theWest to enhance students’ positive experiences in their personal, family, and school lives to decrease school violence.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report preliminary findings of a national survey on student violence against teachers in Taiwanese schools; 14,022 students from elementary to high school (grades 4 to 12) participate in this study.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of various sources of social support (i.e., parental support, teacher support, and peer support) on the level of depression, and the mediating effect of self-esteem and self-efficacy in the relationship between various sources (e.g., parental, teacher, peer, and selfefficacy) among Chinese adolescents were investigated.

TL;DR: It is suggested that promoting the quality of peer interactions could be a major violence prevention strategy and the influences of age, gender and school type on violence tend to be similar in Taiwan to what theories expect based on studies done in Western cultures.
