性别规范是社会对男孩和女孩行为的规范性期望，可以指导欺凌行为。由于青春期早期是同伴关系变得越来越重要的时候，了解青少年的同伴关系以及什么是被认为是性别不确认行为是至关重要的。因此，本研究的目的是分析瑞典女孩和男孩对欺负的性别差异的看法。21名瑞典青少年（8名女孩和13名男孩）参加了按男孩和女孩分开的四个重点小组讨论。采用定性内容分析进行数据分析。“符合规范的期望和需要”成为主要类别，因为分析中出现的所有类别都涉及男孩和女孩对与欺凌有关的期望、策略、表达方式以及归属需要的理解，这些理解因性别而异。此外，女孩和男孩都对彼此应对欺凌的方式表示钦佩，这表明应对策略也与基于性别的期望有关。为了使学校和成人更好地满足女孩和男孩的需求，并了解这些需求是如何表达的，青少年对与性别有关的欺凌的声音可以被视为制定战略的有用工具，以处理性别规范和性别期望。根据我们的研究结果，学校可能有工作要做，当涉及到规范和态度的认识，以及他们如何表达，因为这些可能是欺凌的基础，在工作人员和学生之间。
Gender norms are normative societal expectations regarding the behaviors of girls and boys that can guide bullying behavior. As early adolescence is a time when peer relations become increasingly important, it is critical to understand the peer relationships of adolescents and what is considered gender non-confirming behavior. Therefore, the aim of this study is to analyze Swedish girls' and boys' perception of gender differences in bullying. Twenty-one Swedish adolescents (8 girls and 13 boys) took part in four focus group discussions separated by boys and girls. Data analysis was conducted using qualitative content analysis. "Expectations and needs to fit the norm" emerged as the main category as all categories emerging from the analysis related to boys' and girls' understandings of how expectations, strategies, expressions relating to bullying and the need to belong vary depending on gender. Further, girls and boys expressed admiration for each other's ways of coping with bullying indicating that also coping strategies are associated with expectations based on gender. For schools and adults to be better equipped to meet the needs of girls and boys and understand how these needs are expressed, adolescents voices regarding gender related bullying can be seen as helpful tools to develop strategies to work with gender norms and gender expectations. In light of the results of our study, schools may have work to do when it comes to the awareness of norms and attitudes and how they are expressed as these may be a foundation for bullying, among both staff and students.
