Bullying (peer abusive) Behavior…
• Is learned behavior.
• Is not pre-wired, harmless, inevitable.
• Will spread if ignored, supported, or promoted.
• Involves everyone in the system.

What else is “bullying”?Bullying is similar to sexual harassment, partner abuse
and child abuse:
• Each involves an imbalance of power.
• The perpetrator blames the victim.
• The target is unable to stop the abuse themselves.
• If not stopped targets begin to blame themselves for
the abuse.

The Root of the Problem is Bias
• Nobody is born biased.
• Bias is learned attitudes and beliefs
• Attitude drives behavior
• Bias is learned from models - cultural, print, video, audio, behavioral

What do children learn from models?
• Cognitive scripts - rehearsed and
reinforced or modified by the results
• Successful scripts are stored in memory
and used as guides for behavior and
social problem solving.

What do children learn from models?
• Children not only adopt specific behaviors but also tend to adopt evaluative standards and attitudes employed by the models in their life.
• The child will pattern their thoughts, feelings and actions after a model.This is how bias is taught.
