摘要：

Bullying is a devastating activity with lasting and sometimes permanent consequences. It occurs with individuals and groups, across peoples, ages, schools, workplaces, cultures and nations. While bullying is a ubiquitous behavior of people, it remains difficult to study as conducting live experiments is out of the question for moral and ethical reasons. However, computer simulation models can be created to model the natural social and humanistic systems. Agent based modeling is one approach that can provide verification of theories, insight into social interactions, testing of 'what-if' scenarios and the gem of complex systems modeling, emergent behaviors. All of this can be done within a virtual world of virtual people. This paper will discuss our approach to modeling gang bullying and the results from our simulations along with identification of future opportunities.
