Summary/Abstract: The aim of the present study is to reveal the relationship of certain behavioural patterns occurring during school bullying (such as being a victim, a bully, an ally intervener, a rescuer intervener,a bystander) and the traits of being callous, unemotional and uncaring. 584 (of which 268 girls and316 boys) primary school students participated in the survey. The research outcomes demonstrated that the callous/unemotional trait showed a strong correlation, regardless of gender differences,mainly with the school violence patterns of bullies and ally interveners. Some correlation was alsofound between callous/unemotional traits and victim behaviour, although with gender differences.Our results acquired on a normal population reinforced the hypothesis that callous/unemotional traits contribute to the emergence of juvenile aggression and antisocial behaviour.
