I was his postdoc student and he taught me about how kids are socialized out of aggression. They're not socialized into it. Of course, there's going to be some socialization component to it for sure. you know, we're not saying that never exists, but the idea that most people hold is that kids are aggressive because they've been modeled, they've been influenced by aggressive models, right?

Role models. But The research that I did with Richard and has been replicated worldwide and is longstanding, like we follow kids from birth all the way long into adulthood, is that most kids get socialized out of this. Now, I know it seems like I'm not being consistent because I really, really emphasized a lot about how popular bullies socialize the group.

But they came in probably with this need for dominance. They came in with a Machiavellian worldview. They came in with the tools that were needed in order to be effective in what they're doing. And so if our intervention programs focused a little bit more on that, maybe we'd be more successful. Does that make sense?

So there's one that's pretty popular. It's called the Kiva program. It comes out of Norway, sorry, not Norway, Finland. And Christina Salmavalli is the one who put this together. It has quite a bit of success in Finland, but Finland's a small country. It's rollout in a bigger place like the UK or Canada or the United States may not be, is not as,

It's not as successful in these contexts, what the preliminary data are suggesting. There's also the Olweus anti-bullying program. So Dan Olweus, we spoke about, the Scandinavian who did most of his studies in Norway. His early efforts had a 50% reduction in bullying, but they implicated every aspect of society. So everywhere you turn, you had the same lesson. So quite successful there.

The principles behind it. So Olweus is about creating awareness and involvement. And the Kiva component is really about engaging the bystanders, which is the way to go. So if you, because the source, you know, so bullying tends to happen in public. Bullying tends to be used in order to achieve and maintain power. And so it's the peer group that's affording you that power.
