摘要

Academic bullying remains a pervasive problem across scientific fields. Although factors such as academic discipline, sex, and ethnicity have been examined, the role of perpetrators’ age has received limited attention. In a global cross-sectional survey of 2,390 participants, we found that age is significantly related to the contextual behaviors of academic bullying. Contrary to our hypothesis, the youngest perpetrators (ages 25–35) exhibited significantly fewer abusive behaviors than older groups, with the highest rates observed among those aged 56–65. These findings highlight the need for age-sensitive approaches to academic bullying prevention, including tailored training, policy design, and monitoring, to improve both the integrity of science and the well-being of the academic workforce.
