Sage Podcast
By Sameer Hinduja
Dr. Hinduja participates in a joint podcast organized by Sage Publications with fellow social scientists Robert Agnew, Carter Hay, and Paul Mazerolle to chat about the relationship between the sociological concept of strain, traditional bullying, and cyberbullying. It’s worth a listen if you’re interested in learning more about empirical research in this area. Near the end of the podcast, Dr. Hinduja also briefly discusses his forthcoming co-authored (with Dr. Patchin) article to be published in Youth and Society. That piece found that middle schoolers who reported experiencing strain were significantly more likely to have engaged in bullying and cyberbullying, that bullying seemed to be related to feelings of negative emotions, and that anger and frustration did not appear to mediate the relationship between strain and either traditional bullying or cyberbullying (which is contrary to General Strain Theory).
