Primary outcome measure(s)
Peer Relationship Scale — T0 (Pre-test) T1 (15 days after the end of the procedure) The scale was developed to assess adolescents' peer relationships. It comprises 29 items across four sub-dimensions: Intimacy, Popularity, Trust, and Insightfulness. The items are rated on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (Strongly disagree) to 5 (Completely agree.). The total possible score on the scale ranges from 29 to 145, with higher scores indicating more positive peer relationships.
Inventory of Cognitions Related to Bullying for Children — T0 (Pre-test) T1 (15 days after the end of the procedure) The scale was developed to assess cognitive characteristics associated with peer bullying in children. It consists of 22 items rated on a 4-point Likert scale, ranging from 1 (Not true at all) to 4 (Completely true). The total score on the scale ranges from 22 to 88. Higher scores indicate stronger cognitive acceptance of bullying, suggesting that bullying is perceived as more normal and acceptable.
