Abstract

This study investigated how children (N = 308, 10-12 years) morally evaluated traditional bullying events through rating moral stories that contained different characteristics of bullying. Findings suggest that girls evaluated stories more negatively than boys when stories had the intent to harm and a power balance between bully and victim.
