The Consequences of School Violence: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis, Global, 1990-2016 (ICPSR 37596)
Investigating Impulsivity as a Root Cause of School Violence: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis, Global, 2022-2025 (ICPSR 39695)
This comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis documents the magnitude and significance of longitudinal associations between impulsivity and school violence to advance understanding of root causes of school violence perpetration and victimization. The research team also tested which methods and measures of assessing impulsivity are most predictive of subsequent school violence and the extent to which the predictive validity of impulsivity for school violence generalizes across various contexts and samples.

A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Interventions to Decrease Cyberbullying Perpetration and Victimization, United States, 2003-2019 (ICPSR 37676)
This study is driven by the hypothesis that intervention and prevention programs to address violence and bullying in general, and cyberbullying in particular, can affect students' cyberbullying perpetration and victimization outcomes. Cyberbullying can occur throughout a student's day via various information and communication technologies. Thus, school administrators, teachers, and researchers have a unique opportunity to implement prevention programs that will, in addition to reducing toxic behavior, increase students' academic achievement, attendance, and rates of high school graduation. The researchers used meta-analytic techniques, such as combining all available effect sizes using robust variance estimation, to determine program effects. Specifically, the team answered the following questions:
- What is the overall impact of anti-cyberbullying, traditional anti-bullying, anti-violence, and school-climate intervention and prevention programming on cyberbullying perpetration and victimization?
- Are there certain program characteristics, types, or genres that are ineffective at producing meaningful changes in students' cyberbullying behaviors?
- Are there additional characteristics of the primary studies' methodologies, measurements, or samples that significantly and meaningfully moderate the intervention effect size?
- Do the programs have an impact on secondary outcomes, such as traditional bullying perpetration and student achievement?
