Vriens, Ingrid; Moors, Guy; Gelissen, John; Vermunt, Jeroen K. – Sociological Methods & Research, 2017

Contemporary research adopts an evolutionary theoretical perspective in which bullying is strategic behavior that is conducive to peer-group status enhancement. Within this view, a high social status (i.e., popularity) has been associated with bullying others, while a high affiliative status (i.e., preference) has been associated with defending…

In Study 1 (n = 163) children could help an out-group or in-group peer with a word-guessing game by entering codes into a computer.
