America, it should be noted, tens to have an anti-intellectualism streak in its politics and nature, while Japan tends towards the opposite. It seems possible that the fact that Woodsa and Wolkeb discovered that less intelligent, lower class, and rural children were significantly more likely to be bullied represents an overarching social trend which puts down lower academic achievement in favor of higher achievement, and that teachers themselves are subtly giving children cues as to who they should bully. This point deserves to be more extensively explored, perhaps with comparative studies in America or other countries. Additionally, the school climate towards bullying may be a far more relevant issue than this research lets on.
The concept of victimization is also particularly important to this research. Woodsa and Wolkeb define this vital concept thus: "victimisation refers to a student being exposed to negative actions on the part of one or more other students' with the intention to hurt. Bullying must be a repeated action and occur regularly over time... And it usually involves an imbalance in strength, either real or perceived... Bullying can be physical, verbal, or relational."
In terms of direct bullying, it seems evident that researchers could relatively easily determine whether students were accurately reporting bullying (though some degree of verification might have been a good choice on the part of the researchers). When it comes to relational bullying, however, the lines may become more blurred. If Woodsa and Wolkeb are correct and bullying is a calm and calculated affair, then it seems that some degree of misinformation might be spreading around, and students may be purposefully trying to deceive researchers.
