Question 8

A local educational authority is designing an intervention strategy to reduce bullying in schools. One school psychologist argues that interventions must target environmental factors like family dynamics and peer groups, whereas another argues that aggressive behavior is deeply rooted in biological predispositions.

Evaluate the contemporary study by Brendgen et al. (2005) in relation to this debate. In your answer, you should refer to:

  • The aims and findings of Brendgen et al. (2005) regarding physical and social aggression.
  • How these findings support either the nature or nurture side of the debate, or both (an interactionist perspective).
  • Methodological strengths and limitations of the study's twin design.
