“…In our previous study we analyzed the effects of testosterone and cortisol jointly with contextual factors on bullying behavior, exploring three different roles (victim, bully, bully/victim). Results showed that lower cortisol levels, together with a worse perceived school environment and less peer and social support, were associated with bullying involvement as a bully [29].…”

“…However, the majority of studies used self-reported questionnaires to identify participantsb ullying involvement. Although there is no single questionnaire used to assess bullying behavior, the most commonly used scales in the reviewed papers were "The Social Experiences Questionnaire" [38,44,58,61,62] and questionnaires based on the "Olweus Bully Victim Questionnaire" [29,31,35,54,59,65].…”

“…Only three studies [29][30][31] have analyzed the role of HPG axis-dependent hormones in bullying behavior. All three studies measured testosterone levels in saliva, and one of them measured the participants' 2D:4D ratio as an indicator of prenatal sex hormones [29].…”

“…A single study focused on exploring the predictive role of cortisol and testosterone in bullying behavior [29]. Another ten studies explored the mediating role of cortisol (n = 10; 30%) [30,34,38,56,57,[59][60][61][62].…”

“…During this developmental stage, sex hormones can influence various brain structures [23], organizing and activating neuroendocrine circuits that control behavior [24,25]. Although some review studies and meta-analyses have found a statistically positive significant association between prenatal and pubertal sexual hormones and aggressive behavior [26][27][28], only a few studies have analyzed the association between sex hormone levels and bullying behavior, they have found mixed results [29][30][31].…”

(1) Background: Bullying is one of the most common forms of aggressive behavior during childhood and adolescence. Some decades ago, researchers began exploring the basis of peer victimization from a biological perspective. Specifically, the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) and Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Gonadal (HPG) axes have been studied in relation to status-relevant behaviors, such as bullying. (2) Methods: We conducted a systematic review following the PRISMA guide and registered the review protocol at PROSPERO (CRD42023494738). We searched for relevant studies in PubMed, Psycinfo, Scopus, and Web of Science, and assessed them using the Robins E-tool. (3) Results: Our search yielded 152 studies, of which 33 were included in the review. These studies explored the association between testosterone and cortisol levels with bullying behavior, finding diverse results. Most of the studies were rated as having a low risk of bias. (4) Conclusions: This study not only enhances our understanding of bullying, but also provides guidance for the development of prevention and management programs for it. In the future, researchers should continue exploring the joint effects of different hormones on the HPA and HPG axis, using a broader set of biomarkers.

This study described students’ language impoliteness during the Indonesian language learning process taking place at elementary school in the Kediri Regency, East Java Province, Indonesia. This study used a qualitative approach to the type of qualitative descriptive research. The research participant of this study were elementary school educators and students in Kediri, East Java, Indonesia, who have a rough and smooth Javanese language culture when communicating with teachers during the learning process in class. The results of the study showed that all politeness maxims were violated in the learning process. Language politeness must continue to be implemented in elementary schools because it is still being discovered violation of the maxim of wisdom is shown when students give long-winded statements to educators. Violation of the maxim of generosity is shown when students give emotional statements to educators. Violation of the maxim of praise is shown when students express criticism at will, to both educators and friends. Violation of the maxim of politeness is shown when students make statements that demean the speech partner. Violation of the maxim of agreement can be seen when students are giving very harsh statements and ignoring the rules of the speech partners. The violation of the maxim of sympathy is shown when students do not have sympathy for the speech partner who is having difficulty. Language politeness is very important for the world of education as an effort to familiarize students as the nation’s next generation with polite language.
