Question

clarify the phrase "perceived power imbalance

Answer 1

It is not the existence of a power imbalance that underlies the bullying dynamic, it is the use of greater power by the aggressor to harm a person with less power that underlies bullying, or the use of a perceived power imbalance by the aggressor to harm another person, and/or the perception of a power imbalance by the victim, that is important.Power imbalance is not a criterion that defines bullying; it is, instead, a dynamic that characterizes bullying

Answer 2

This phrase is all about how bulling is unwanted, aggressive behavior among school children which involves perceived power imbalance. the behavior is repeated or has the potential to be repeated over time. hence both the people who are bullied or who bully others may have serious problems.
