To account for the complex relationships and processes that constitute the phenomenon of bullying, it is critical to understand how students and their parents and teachers conceptualize traditional and cyberbullying. Qualitative data were drawn from a mixed methods longitudinal study on cyberbullying. Semi-structured interviews were held with Canadian students in grades 4, 7, and 10 in a large urban school board, and their parents and teachers. To account for the complexity and interactions of different systems of relationships, the purpose of the current article is to examine how students and their matched parents and teachers understand traditional and cyberbullying. Central to participants' understanding of traditional and cyberbullying was whether they considered bullying to represent harmful relationship dynamics. Three main assumptions emerged as shaping participants' understanding of bullying and appeared to obscure the deep relationship processes in bullying: (a) assumptions of gender in bullying, (b) type of bullying-comparing traditional and cyberbullying, and (c) physical bullying as disconnected from relationship dynamics. It is essential that assessment, education, and prevention and intervention strategies in traditional and cyberbullying be informed by the inherent relationships in bullying and be implemented at multiple levels of relationships and broader social systems.
为了解构成欺凌现象的复杂关系和过程，理解学生及其家长和教师如何界定传统欺凌和网络欺凌至关重要。定性数据取自一项关于网络欺凌的混合方法纵向研究。对一个大型城市学区的四年级、七年级和十年级的加拿大学生及其家长和教师进行了半结构化访谈。为了说明不同关系系统的复杂性和相互作用，本文旨在探讨学生及其配对的家长和教师如何理解传统欺凌和网络欺凌。参与者对传统欺凌和网络欺凌的理解核心在于他们是否认为欺凌代表有害的关系动态。出现了三个主要假设塑造了参与者对欺凌的理解，并且似乎掩盖了欺凌中深层次的关系过程：(a) 欺凌中的性别假设，(b) 欺凌类型——比较传统欺凌和网络欺凌，以及 (c) 将身体欺凌与关系动态相分离。传统欺凌和网络欺凌的评估、教育以及预防和干预策略必须基于欺凌中固有的关系，并在多层次的关系和更广泛的社会系统中实施，这一点至关重要。
