现有的奖学金表明，课堂实践，教师的态度，和更广泛的学校环境中发挥关键作用，了解学生的攻击，欺凌和受害以及相关行为的报告率。要更准确地理解欺凌和其他攻击性行为的性质、起源、维持和流行，需要考虑学校社区更广泛的社会生态。然而，迄今为止的研究主要是横截面性质，或未能反映社会生态框架，在其测量或分析方法。因此，已经有有限的努力来解析出学生，课堂和组织层面的因素的相对贡献。这个特殊的主题部分强调从关注学生的态度和行为出发，以社会背景的方法，欣赏多少学校环境的功能可以减轻或延续侵略。这一系列文章反映了创新和严格的方法，以促进我们对气候的理解，并对理论，测量，预防和实践产生影响。这些研究强调了学校氛围对心理健康、学业成绩和问题行为的影响，并有望激发人们对这一重要课题的兴趣和进一步的学术研究。
Existing scholarship suggests that classroom practices, teacher attitudes, and the broader school environment play a critical role in understanding the rates of student reports of aggression, bullying, and victimization as well as correlated behaviors. A more accurate understanding of the nature, origins, maintenance, and prevalence of bullying and other aggressive behavior requires consideration of the broader social ecology of the school community. However, studies to date have predominantly been cross-sectional in nature, or have failed to reflect the social-ecological framework in their measurement or analytic approach. Thus, there have been limited efforts to parse out the relative contribution of student, classroom, and organizational-level factors. This special topic section emphasizes a departure from a focus on student attitudes and behaviors, to a social-contextual approach that appreciates how much features of the school environment can mitigate or perpetuate aggression. This collection of articles reflects innovative and rigorous approaches to further our understanding of climate, and has implications for theory, measurement, prevention, and practice. These studies highlight the influence of school climate on mental health, academic achievement, and problem behavior, and will hopefully stimulate interest in and further scholarship on this important topic.
