Q. Prepare an interview schedule to examine the impact of bullying behavior on the attitude
and behavior of school students who have been the victims of bullying (e.g. it may involve
questions related to whether they have ever been the victims of bullying at school, the type of
bullying the victims have suffered and how has it impacted on their peer relations,
performance, relations with parents etc ). You will have to collect the data only from those
students who have been bullied ever in school. You will have to follow all the ethics of
research (e.g. maintaining confidentiality). Collect your responses through interview survey
on the following groups:

2. Secondary School Students (Age group 13- 18 yrs)
Based on the collected information, you will also have to suggest the ways that can reduce
the impact of bullying on the above mentioned age groups.

topic (as given) and a discussion on the responses and the trends received through
interviewing the participants. You have to conclude the survey on basis of the facts
and findings.
2. You need to enclose the filled in questionnaire (raw data) also in the file.
3. On basis of the selected topic, you need to prepare atleast 10-15 questions for the
interview schedule.
