Synthesize the state of scientific knowledge on school bullying, encompassing core definitions, global prevalence, etiology, long-term victim outcomes, and effective intervention frameworks.
Reviewed four decades of empirical literature and large-scale youth surveys across high-income and low-to-middle-income countries.
Evaluated methodological differences across studies, focusing on variations in operational definitions, measurement recall windows, and frequency thresholds.
Bullying is universally characterized by three central criteria: intentional harm, repeated behavior over time, and an asymmetric imbalance of power between peers.
Cross-national prevalence estimates exhibit substantial heterogeneity due to disparities in definition stringency, time reference periods, and behavioral survey metrics.
Peer victimization leads to persistent adverse psychosocial and developmental outcomes, which multi-tiered, evidence-based prevention programs effectively mitigate.
