The false statement is: "bullies tend to show stronger emotions, which is why they bully other kids."
Why: Research shows bullies often display reduced moral emotions (less empathy/guilt), moral disengagement, and indifference or rationalization when describing their actions, and they tend to hold more positive attitudes about using bullying. Bullying is linked more to moral-cognitive deficits, social goals (power/status), and poor emotion regulation than simply having stronger emotions.
