Sigh, just Google his name: www.yale.edu/psychology/FacInfo/Kazdin.html
Edit: I am also stupid. :-) Just check the end of the article.
"Alan E. Kazdin, who was president of the American Psychological Association in 2008, is John M. Musser professor of psychology and child psychiatry at Yale University and director of Yale's Parenting Center and Child Conduct Clinic. Carlo Rotella is director of American studies at Boston College."
- mdakin 17y agoHe has written over 600 papers and 40 books. Perhaps his data about the efficacy of standing up to bullies is somewhere buried in that writing. But it's not obvious at all that it is given your Google search. I'm not particularly interested in his background or qualifications. I want to see the actual data that substantiates his thesis quoted above.
- berntb 17y agoHe he. You have a point, he might be lying about his subject... :-) (I have no idea, but as someone noted above -- there is no one writing here that has better credentials in any subject than the author has in this.) Edit: I might add that I voted you up, for the humor. In the first comment you "bet" that the author just has anecdotal evidence -- and then you don't retract when you see he has decades of research in the subject!
