Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The bullying intervention program initiated in New Jersey by Elizabeth Levy-Paluck and colleagues was designed to have well-known children in the schools convey the social norms for the school. This approach is based on the theory of social norms, which suggests that people's behavior is heavily influenced by their perception of what is commonly accepted in society. By having respected and well-liked students convey the message that bullying is not acceptable, the program sought to change the social norms around bullying and decrease its occurrence in schools. There is no mention of implementing severe punishment or using student juries to determine consequences, and rewarding behavior that is considered kind is not the same as conveying the social norms against bullying.
