Phys.Org (Isle of Man, Nov. 4) -- A social computer game designed by researchers in computer science and educational psychology at the University of Illinois can identify bullies in elementary school classrooms and help scholars better understand peer aggression, whether it occurs face to face or online. "What we wanted was to have more real–time information and to include advancements in computer science to process the data and get more insights into it so we could understand the problem of bullying better and create interventions," said Juan F. Mancilla-Caceres, who developed the algorithms for the game while earning a doctorate in computer science at Illinois.
