Episode notes
Ignoring A Bully Once Worked For Me
- William Curb recalled one attempted bully he simply ignored and the tactic worked to deter them.
- He contrasted that lucky outcome with others for whom ignoring wouldn't help.
Visibility Plus Low Likability Raises Risk
- Students with ADHD showed more conflict with teachers and lower peer likability in this study.
- Higher visibility plus low likability increased vulnerability to bullying in the classroom.
Perception Of Bullying Drives Impact
- The study used self-reported measures so perceived victimization matters as much as intent.
- Subtle exclusion and perception drive impact even if no deliberate harm was intended.
