It is well understood that bullying takes place in front of the peer group (Salmivalli, 2010; Salmivalli, Lagerspetz, Björkqvist, Österman, & Kaukiainen, 1996) and therefore impacts not only the victims of the aggression, but all actors in the bullying ecosystem, including victims, bullies, witnesses, and other peers in the environment (Lambe, Hudson, Craig, & Pepler, 2017). Research shows that bullying has detrimental outcomes in terms of emotional and behavioral health (Smith & Brain, 2000), for example, academic difficulties (Buhs, Ladd, & Herald, 2006), a decrease in prosocial behavior (Coyne, Gundersen, Nelson, & Stockdale, 2011), and lower self-esteem (Verkuyten & Thijs, 2006). When bullying occurs on the basis of a social group membership or affiliation (ie,“intergroup” or “bias-based” bullying), these negative outcomes are exacerbated (Verkuyten, 2002). Moreover, negative consequences are prevalent among victims, bullies and the wider peer group (Rivers, Poteat, Noret, & Ashurst, 2009). It is therefore vital to better understand how children and adolescents think about and respond to bullying; first as the whole peer group can be negatively affected, and second because the way in which both individuals and the peer group think about and respond to bullying play a key role in the prevention or continuation of bullying (Saarento & Salmivalli, 2015; Salmivalli, 2010).To achieve a fuller understanding of children’s evaluations of and reactions to bullying, it is necessary to understand the development of children’s social cognitions, including their developing knowledge of how groups work (“group dynamics”) and their acquisition of information about different social groups (“intergroup processes”). This chapter first considers the importance of understanding the social cognitive mechanisms that underpin children’s and adolescents’ interpretations of bullying, and how
