Summary:
The paper addresses simulation results on school bullying and the relevant interactions between classmates. We have proposed the multi-agent simulation (MAS) model composed of many agents mimicking student's behaviors. The bullying is defined as the emergence of isolated agents who have never the same values (formalized attributes of hobbies and interests) of any other agents. In particular, we clarified the effect of sequential frequency-dependent behaviors on the emergence of the bullying (or the victim) using the MAS model. As a result, it was necessary for reducing the number of victims that at least 20% students should stop the frequency-dependent behavior.
