Study: Bullies Enjoy Watching Others in PainScientists in the US examined brain scans of bullies and non bullies and found them to differ in their response to scenes of pain.  The researchers found the area associated with reward was stimulated when violent teenagers were shown pictures of people inflicting pain on others which is contrary to current thinking that aggressive teens lack the ability to empathize with people in pain and that their violent behavior could be innate as well as learnt.
