What are the psychological features of bullies?

Research finds that bullies have a distinct psychological makeup. They lack prosocial behavior, are untroubled by anxiety, and do not understand others’ feelings. They exhibit a distinctive cognitive feature, a kind of paranoia: They misread the intentions of others, often imputing hostility in neutral situations. Others may not like them, but they typically see themselves quite positively. Those who chronically bully tend to have strained relationships with parents and peers.

Above all, don’t lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.

— Fyodor Dostoevsky

What is the psychology underlying people who imitate others a lot?

Such people tends to fall into either one of three categories. First, they might be suffering from low self-esteem and therefore do not believe their own thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are good enough. Second, they want to fit in with a certain “type” of person, and that won’t be possible if that person is not accepting of him/her having their own thoughts. Third, the imitator might simply be overwhelmed by someone’s “charisma,” either negative or positive, and rather than go against the tide of that charisma, it’s easier to just succumb to it.

They might not even recognize it as copying rather they usually do it kind of innately.

What is the origin of the term copycat?

The term copycat (also written as copy-cat or copy cat) refers to the tendency of humans to duplicate the behaviour of others, as expressed in the saying, ‘monkey see, monkey do’. The expression may have originated from observing the habits of kittens that learned by imitating the behaviour of their mother. Copycat has been in recorded use since at least 1896, in Sarah Orne Jewett ‘The Country of Pointed Firs’ but the expression could be many decades older.
