Bullying During the Orientation Program: A Literature Review
Keywords:
Bullying, College Students, Freshmen, Orientation ProgramAbstract
Abstract: Universities’ freshmen orientation programs have been aiming to introduce the higher education systems, campus environments, and create the means of friendships’ formation among a certain cohort of freshmen. After the spread of the virus has subsided significantly, universities were able to commence the onsite orientation programs, which was, unfortunately, leading to the emergence of bullying cases. The latter incidence was seen by the senior college students as mental shaping for freshmen, although it turned out to be a form of bullying during the onsite orientation program. The objective of this article is to investigate and further describe factors influencing bullying that occurs during the orientation programs and prevention programs pertaining to the problem. The method used in this research was literature review using keywords: bullying, campus life, freshmen, and orientation program. The study reveals a pattern of strong power relations between dominating superiors and weak subordinates. Personality characteristics, family and campus climate are factors that influence bullying to occur. Universities as the organizers of the orientation program must ensure that the strategy, planning, and orientation objectives align with the executing committee who takes on the role of companion freshmen. Social support for freshmen is needed, in the form of suitable programs, to undergo the adaptation and transition process.
