Non-Commercial Use

You are applying for a Non-Commercial Use License to use the Bullying & Cyberbullying Scale for Adolescents (BCS-A) (English).

Intervention on adolescent bullying is reliant on the valid and reliable measurement of victimisation and perpetration experiences, however existing self-report scales are restricted to uni-dimensional models or victimisation experiences only.

The BCS-A is a validated multi-factor measurement model of bullying/cyberbullying victimisation and perpetration. It comprises a 13-item scale consisting of physical, verbal, and relational, and cyber forms of bullying and possesses robust psychometric dependability.

Non-Commercial Licensees can use the BCS-A for:

• Use by individual students and faculty in conducting academic and scholarly research, academic publishing, or course preparation
• Use as required course readings or viewings
• Distribution of materials to students in a class or posting or scanning materials to a Learning Management System Website ("Learning Management System Website" means a password-protected website or other system maintained by an instructor for use by students enrolled in a particular course)
• Academic presentations or conferences (must be accompanied by reference to the Copyright Owner and with reference that use of the BCS-A is not permitted without entering into a license).

Non-Commercial Iicensees are not permitted to use the BCS-A for clinical intervention/treatment.  Non-Commercial licensees also cannot publish, share, distribute, modify, sub-license or sell the BCS-A material, as they are copyright protected.
