Middle School Girls' School Bullying Experience and Psychosocial Adjustment: A Two-Year Follow-up Study

Abstract

The present study was to classify bullying experience types and examine the effects of school bullying experience on Middle school girls' psychoscial adjustment. A total 226 girls were surveyed at two points - at 1st grade(Time 1) and 3rd grade(Time 2). Measurements included School Bullying Scale, Self-Efficacy, K-YSR, and Peer Relationship Scale. Bullying types were explored using duster analysis on the basis of bullying and victim scores at 1st grade. Cluster-analysis identified four distinct types of bullying experience(C1: high bullying-high victimization, C2: low bullying-low victimization, C3: moderate bullying-moderate victimization, C4: high bullying-moderate victimization). Analysis of variance indicated that C1 and C4 were significantly differentiated by self-efficacy, internalizing and externalizing problems, and peer relationship in cross-sectional analysis. In longitudinal analysis, C1 and C4 were significantly differentiated by externalizing problems, peer adjustment, and daily school community life.
