Recent work on bullying perpetration includes the hypothesis that bullying carries an evolutionary advantage for perpetrators in terms of health and reproductive success. We tested this hypothesis in the National Child Development Study (n = 4998 male, n = 4831 female), British Cohort Study 1970 (n = 4261 male, n = 4432 female), and TRacking Adolescents' Individual Lives Survey (n = 486 male, n = 521 female), where bullying was assessed in adolescence (NCDS, BCS70: age 16, TRAILS: age 14) and outcomes in adulthood. Partial support for the evolutionary hypothesis was found as bullies had more children in NCDS and engaged in sexual intercourse earlier in TRAILS. In contrast, bullies reported worse health in NCDS and BCS70.
最近关于恃强凌弱行为的研究提出了一个假设，即恃强凌弱行为对施害者在健康和生殖成功方面具有进化优势。我们在英国国家儿童发展研究（NCDS，n=4998 名男性，n=4831 名女性）、英国 1970 年队列研究（BCS70，n=4261 名男性，n=4432 名女性）和青少年个体生活追踪调查（TRAILS，n=486 名男性，n=521 名女性）中检验了这一假设，其中在青少年时期（NCDS，BCS70：16 岁；TRAILS：14 岁）评估了恃强凌弱行为，而在成年期评估了结果。该进化假设得到了部分支持，因为 NCDS 中的欺凌者有更多的孩子，而在 TRAILS 中他们更早发生性行为。相比之下，欺凌者在 NCDS 和 BCS70 中报告了更差的健康状况。
