Recent theoretical work suggests that bullying might arise out of early cognitive deficits — including language problems, imperfect causal understanding, and poor inhibitory control — that lead to decreased competence with peers, which over time develops into bullying.14, 15 A small number of studies provide circumstantial evidence that such a hypothesis might have merit7: 1 study found a link between poor early cognitive stimulation and (broadly defined) inappropriate school behavior, 16 and another found cognitive stimulation at age 3 years to be
protective against symptoms of attention - deficit disorder at age 7 years.17 A study of Greek children found that academic self - efficacy and deficits in social cognition were related to bullying behavior.18 A large US national survey found that those who perceive themselves
as having average or below - average academic achievement (
as opposed to very good achievement) are 50 % to 80 %
more likely to be bullies.8 Yet these studies are based on cross-sectional surveys, with the variables all
measured at a single point in time.

measures of the severity of child maltreatment should be used where possible; 2) positive childhood relationships should be assessed
as a potentially important
protective factor; 3)
more research should involve system - involved children and adolescents.
