Abstract
School bullying in elementary institutions constitutes an omnipresent and harmful phenomenon with profound repercussions for the development of children^s academic, psychological, and social wellbeing. While independent studies have addressed various aspects of school bullying, there is a dearth of a consolidated review of literature explicitly examining the issue in elementary schools in Southeast Asia and Indonesia. This SLR adhered to PRISMA guidelines for systematically reviewing scientific literature worldwide on (1) common types and prevalence of bullying behaviors in elementary schools- (2) individual, family, and organizational correlates- (3) efficacious methods for bullying prevention and intervention at school- and (4) future consequences of bullying victimization and perpetration. The literature review identified 1,247 relevant studies from searches in five prominent electronic databases (Scopus, Web of Science, ERIC, PubMed, and Google Scholar) via specified search terms. After filtering studies according to predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria, 25 articles were included in the analysis, spanning publications from 2013 to 2024. Key findings reveal that physical and verbal bullying are common- multi-level ecological variables contribute to the complexity of bullying interactions- whole-school interventions with social-emotional learning yield better results- and childhood bullying victimization impacts adulthood.
