Bullying

Recently, in collaboration with Judith Sims-Knight, Dr. Knight has developed a computerized bully survey, the Multidimensional Bully Survey (MBS), that has been administered four consecutive years to all students, grades 5 through 12 in an entire school system. He is currently collaborating on publications that demonstrate the validity of the instrument as a metric for assessing the efficacy of various intervention strategies. The references provided in this section include dissertations supervised by Drs. Knight and Sims-Knight on the MBS and ppts of presentations to the Foxborough School Committee on the results of the annual administration of the MBS.
