INTRODUCTION Associations between bullying perpetration and social status vary, not only between different facets of social status but also between bullying in primary versus secondary school. The main aim of the present study was to meta-analyse existing evidence regarding the prospective associations between bullying perpetration and various facets of social status, that is, popularity, peer acceptance, peer rejection, and social preference. METHODS Electronic databases were searched to identify studies on bullying perpetration and later social status published up to January 17, 2022. Multilevel random effects models were performed using Metafor and differences in effect sizes as a function of substantive and methodological moderators were tested. RESULTS In total, 116 effects were included from 18 publications, reporting on 17 different samples and more than 15,000 participants (mean age bullying assessment = 11.57 years, on average 51% female participants). Most samples were from the United States (7) or Europe (7). Overall, bullies were more popular, but also more rejected and scored lower on social preference compared with non-bullies. These associations remained when effects were adjusted for previous social status and other confounders. No link between bullying perpetration and acceptance was found. There was little evidence that effect sizes differed as a function of moderators. CONCLUSIONS Bullies become more popular over time, but also have a higher risk of being rejected and being less socially preferred. Bullying perpetrators are more popular but also more rejected by their peers. There is no evidence that these links differ depending on sex or age at which perpetrators bully, reporter or type of bullying.

同龄人中的欺凌行为和社会地位：一项荟萃分析。

引言 欺凌行为与社会地位之间的关联各不相同，不仅在社会地位的不同方面之间存在差异，而且在小学和中学的欺凌行为之间也存在关联。本研究的主要目的是对有关欺凌行为与社会地位各个方面（即受欢迎程度、同伴接受度、同伴拒绝和社会偏好）之间预期关联的现有证据进行荟萃分析。方法 搜索电子数据库以确定截至 2022 年 1 月 17 日发表的关于欺凌行为和后来的社会地位的研究。使用 Metafor 执行多级随机效应模型，并测试作为实质性和方法论调节剂函数的效应量差异。结果 总共包含 18 篇出版物的 116 种效应，报告了 17 个不同的样本和超过 15,000 名参与者（平均年龄欺凌评估 = 11.57 岁，平均 51% 的女性参与者）。大多数样本来自美国 (7) 或欧洲 (7)。总的来说，与非欺凌者相比，欺凌者更受欢迎，但也更容易被拒绝，社会偏好得分也更低。当针对以前的社会地位和其他混杂因素调整影响时，这些关联仍然存在。没有发现欺凌行为和接受之间的联系。几乎没有证据表明效果大小因调节剂而异。结论 随着时间的推移，恶霸变得越来越流行，但被拒绝的风险也越来越高，并且在社会上不太受欢迎。欺凌犯罪者更受欢迎，但也更容易被同龄人拒绝。
