Defensive egotism and self-esteem: A cross-cultural examination of the dynamics of bullying in middle school
TLDR
The revised compensation model of aggression as discussed by the authors posits that bullying is driven by defensive personality, not low self-esteem, and it has been found that bullies and bully-victims score higher in defensive egotism than pure victims and controls but did not differ from each other.Abstract:
The revised compensation model of aggression posits that bullying is driven by defensive personality, not low self-esteem. Supporting research has failed to distinguish bullies vs. bully-victims (i.e., bullies who are also victims). In three studies with middle school students on two continents, pure bullies and bully-victims scored higher in defensive egotism than pure victims and controls but, unexpectedly, did not differ from each other. Low self-esteem was linked with victimization, high self-esteem with defending victims. Boys were higher than girls in bullying and physical aggression; girls were higher in social than physical aggression. Part of the lack of success of anti-bullying programs may be their failure to accommodate different types of bullies and different forms of bullying.read more
