Hazing Student-Novices with Regard to Hazers’ Gender
Keywords:

In our paper we present the initiation rite of admission of student-novices to secondary school, which is known as pheasanting/hazing. We were interested in the differences between boys and girls in unofficial hazing that takes place outside schools. 458 4th year secondary school students participated in our study. Our aim was to find out whether there were gender differences in the frequency and duration of the role of hazer, in the hazing activities aimed at newcomers, and in their perceptions of school climate regarding peer bullying. We found that both girls and boys most frequently perform hazing in their 2nd year; that boys remain in the role of hazers throughout the four years of schooling, while the number of girls who perform hazing declines significantly in the 3rd and the 4th year. The results further show that both girls and boys mostly perform innocent hazing activities, but boys are more likely to be more violent than girls, and they perceive the school climate as one that allows more aggression than the girls do.
