dc.description.abstract | In response to a growing concern about bullying and victimisation at universities, this study examined students’ perceptions of the university learning environment (LE) concerning their experience of various negative behaviours and victimisation at the University of Ghana (Legon Campus) and the University of Cape Coast in Ghana. The study was a cross-sectional survey of 751 respondents. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and regression analysis indicated how students’ perceptions of the universities’ LE related to students’ bullying experiences. The results revealed an inverse relationship between students’ perceptions of the LE and their experiences of negative behaviours and victimisation, implying that any improvement in the LE would reduce students’ bullying experiences. It suggests that awareness of anti-bullying rules, which are strictly, fairly, and consistently enforced through participatory democratic principles, would be essential to ensure a positive psychosocial LE. | en_US |
