Likely the same conclusion would have been arrived at had they done a study at 1600 Pennsylvania ave. Add to that arrogance, egomania, antagonistic, and on and on and on.

An old quote from “Dallas” by Larry Hagman:

“JR Ewing doesn’t get ulcers. He gives ‘em.”

So, maybe they should be promoting bullying...

[DuncanWaring]

Bullying behaviors are linked to higher self-esteem, ...

I coulda told them that.

[knarf]

Remember ... America was pretty (righteously) arrogant in the 50's

WE were the winners on TWO fronts

AND THE ENTIRE WORLD KNEW IT, TOO !!!

They really, really had to work hard to tear us down and apart, but Trump has injected us with about half a million clinical mics o' self esteem and real hope

[Paine in the Neck]

This finding is an artifact of the way “bully” is defined, I think. I’m guessing that their definition of a bully is anyone who makes one feel badly about oneself. Thus, skilled, competent, independent, self-reliant people are encompassed as “bullies” by their reckoning.

And where is the high school bully today?

All that “self-esteem” (which is itself a questionable metric) goes straight down the crapper when bully boy hits a new situation and someone else is top dog.

He has an oral fixation to keep him happy.

There are so many exceptions to this rule...

[DaxtonBrown]

The term “bully” is now meant to deride conservatives with manly traits. I was “bullied”, it toughened me up, I owe those guys a debt.

Bullying behaviors are linked to higher self-esteem, social status, and a lower rate of depression,

what are the testosterone levels of bullies compared to non bullies?

“Experts suggest that schools might expand competitive, supervised activities as an alternative outlet to channel dominating behavior.”

No, everybody has to be a winner! Otherwise, it’s not fair...

[VanDeKoik]

Bullies Have Higher Self-Esteem, Lower Depression

Lol! No ship, Sherlock.

[jsanders2001]

Ahhh yes from an Atlanta new station. There sure has been a lot of mindless chatter from that city lately from their primary occupants...

Higher self-esteem, maybe, but overall a lower sense of self-worth.

[Sir Napsalot]

>>> highest self esteem, greatest social status, and were less likely to be depressed

Is that a great achievement? Does that count for an achievement?

[MNDude]

Dennis Prager always says that people with high self esteem are less moral.

He cited a study of people in prison tend to have much higher than average self esteem and even consider themselves more moral than others.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

I think the article confuses self esteem with narcissism, although in today’s culture, there probably isn’t much of a difference between the two anymore.

[chesley]

Duh!
