Impact of PBIS on Bullying in Middle and Secondary School

Abstract

Bullying remains a problem as pervasive and complex with fatal and long-lasting impacts. This study investigated the effects of Positive Behavioral Intervention and Supports (PBIS) on bullying in middle and secondary schools. The qualitative case study used content analysis by reviewing 200 PBIS journal articles. The authors selected and used descriptive coding for ten peer-reviewed articles resulting in six overall themes: PBIS is a comprehensive multitiered framework, sustaining a positive school climate, punitive to proactive discipline approach, building a positive school community, responsive leadership, management, and monitoring, and adhering to a sustained and integrated system. PBIS is not a solution but provides a systemic framework to address bullying through a cohesive and holistic approach through a tiered interventions system.
