Björn Sjögren is an Associate Professor at Linköping University. His research primarily focuses on peer victimization, specifically bullying in schools, which is a widespread phenomenon. He employs student surveys to map the prevalence of bullying and investigates its relation to cognitive, moral, and social factors. Through his research group, he aims to contribute to the understanding and prevention of bullying within educational settings. A significant aspect of his work addresses the roles of bystanders in bullying situations, exploring questions regarding their behavior—whether they side with bullies, support victims, or remain passive—and the factors that influence these choices. In addition to his research, he teaches courses and programs aimed at aspiring teachers, covering educational psychology, social relationships, bullying, and scientific methodology.
