Here's the problem with the study: every living creature on this earth is a product of genetics + environment. Now they're not wrong if they're saying that genetics plays a role in bullying behavior, but to say environment plays no part is completely incorrect.
Conventional wisdom has long suggested that bullies are “maladapted,” troubled people, lashing out because they had been abused or harassed themselves or at least had dysfunctional home lives. But researchers at Simon Fraser University surveyed a group of Vancouver high school students and found bullies were the least likely to be depressed, had the highest self-esteem and the greatest social status.
They're saying there that environmental factors was believed to be the cause, but it's actually genetics. It's both.
