This is especially true for young people as they are discovering who they are and how they fit into the world. Unfortunately, many children face bullying and other acts of victimization. But what causes bullying? How can defenders reduce its frequency? Is bullying preventable? These are the questions being asked by Dr. Diana Meter, a researcher in Utah State University’s Human Development and Family Studies department, who explores what factors predict when kids will stand up for each other and how we can encourage more defenders. Dr. Meter will share some of her findings at the next Utah State University Blue Plate Research, held in-person for the first time, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on June 7, 2022 at Gallivan Hall in downtown Salt Lake City.
