Cover Story: Bullying is a significant but modifiable risk factor for poor mental health in children, and evidence suggests it may be more prevalent in socioeconomically disadvantaged settings. This study investigated the association between school-level disadvantage and various bullying roles among 6–11-year-old children in 57 primary schools in England and Wales. Children in more disadvantaged schools were more likely to be bully perpetrators and bully victims, and they exhibited less defensive behavior during bullying incidents. Children from more disadvantaged schools who reported bullying others showed fewer emotional symptoms than those from less disadvantaged schools. The study suggests the potential for school-based interventions addressing emotional and social development, with a focus on reducing bullying and promoting defending behaviors, particularly in disadvantaged settings.
