Bullies and Victims – Both Have Poor Problem Solving Skills?
Interesting article and podcast at Scientific American.
Researchers reviewed and analyzed 153 studies and found that both victims and bullies have poor problem-solving skills within social situations. They also found that boys bully more than girls but here’s a significant point: those who do poorly in school are at a higher risk of becoming a bully. The research was published this week in the journal School Psychology Quarterly.
I would concur with trends witness within my classroom; I teach 8th graders. I would like to read more regarding this article since I am currently working with students on problem-based learning and solution setting in my classroom on the Cold War.
