Abstract in brief

  • The article discusses how bullying involves complex social relationships and can be both adaptive and harmful, influencing how bullies function in peer groups.
  • It highlights that distinctions between general aggressive behavior and bullying, which involves power imbalance and repetition, are not clear in current research, making it challenging to study bullying specifically.
  • The authors advocate for using relational and dyadic measurement approaches, considering factors like gender, to better understand bullying’s developmental roots and long-term effects, and suggest future research should incorporate relationship and interpersonal theories.]
