Academic bullying is a pervasive and longstanding issue that negatively affects all fields of science. While influential factors such as scientific discipline, sex, and ethnicity have been investigated, the impact of perpetrators age on the contextual behaviors of academic bullying has not been thoroughly studied. Our cross-sectional global survey of academic bullying, involving 2,390 participants, provides evidence that age significantly influences the contextual behaviors of academic bullying. Our results revealed that the youngest perpetrators (aged 25-35) exhibit significantly less abusive behavior compared to other age categories (36 and older). Additionally, the lowest percentage of abusive behavior was observed in the youngest group, while the highest was found in the older groups (aged 56-65). Our comprehensive analysis on the potential influence of the perpetrators academic position, ethnicity, or sex on their age group revealed no significant impact. These findings have strong implications for the development of more customized academic bullying training, policy development, and monitoring strategies, ultimately benefiting the scientific community at large in many aspects including evolution of science and improving the mental health of the academic workforce.
