In the linear regression analysis, theintercept value provides a measure of asymmetry; the larger its deviation from zero, the morepronounced the asymmetry (Egger, Smith, Schneider, & Minder, 1997). 

Bully-victims: Parental involvement and support showed significant moderator effectsaccording to the assessment method (Qb = 7.03; p < 0.05) suggesting that children who self-reported victimization (Mean ES = -0.35; p < 0.001; N = 8) were less likely to have parentswho are involved and supportive. 

The reasonbehind developing such problems may be partly due to exposure to harsher parenting ratherthan being a bully and victim simultaneous. 

if small studies with controversial results were lesslikely to be published, the correlation between variance and effect size would be high. 

70 studies (N=119 samples for victims; N=55 samples for bully/victims)were included in the meta-analysis and are shown in Table 1.
