Abstract
It is widely assumed that in youth, irritability increases risk for perpetrating bullying, while anxiety increases risk of being a victim. However, concurrent associations between irritability, anxiety, and bullying have not been tested. We assessed these relations in 131 youth and found interactive effects of irritability and anxiety on bullying.
