Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the key psychological concept involved: bullying often targets children who are perceived as different or vulnerable in social settings.
Recall research findings that identify which characteristics make children more susceptible to being bullied, focusing on social behavior and psychological disorders.
Consider the social dynamics of bullying, noting that children who are socially withdrawn or have anxiety disorders may lack the social support or assertiveness to defend themselves.
Evaluate the other options: popular children with many friends are less likely to be bullied due to social protection; highly aggressive children may be bullies themselves rather than victims; children who perform above average academically are not typically targeted based on academic performance alone.
Conclude that children who are socially withdrawn or have anxiety disorders are most likely to be bullied, as supported by psychological research on vulnerability and peer victimization.
