Types of Bullying
.
 Proactive relational
aggression is when
behaviors are a
means for achieving
a goal.
 For example, Sarah
may need to
exclude Cindy from
her group in order to
maintain her own
social status. .
 Reactive relational
aggression is behavior
that is in response to
provocation, with the
intent to retaliate.
 For example, Sam gets
teased in the hallways
repeatedly and he
may become a teaser
in order to protect
himself from teasing
