Children With Poor Problem-Solving Skills More At Risk Of Becoming Bullies, Victims.
USA Today (7/9, Jayson) reports "children and teens who have poor problem-solving skills are more at risk of becoming bullies, victims or both than peers who don't have such difficulties," according to a review of studies conducted over the past 30 years.
Researchers from Louisiana State University and the University of California at Riverside "looked at 153 studies, with sample sizes ranging from 44 to 26,430." Researchers said most programs to prevent bullying use strategies "that favor removing the bully from the environment," but "interventions that target both the behaviors and the environments are more promising."
