Researchers have been less concerned in prior work with ‘why’ bullying occurs than they have with detecting the ‘deficits’ that the individuals involved, either as bullies and/or victims, present. More recently, research has begun to concentrate on the inherent characteristics of those involved in bullying, exploring for instance the role of self-esteem, assertiveness, and empathy, but the main focus in previous research has been on describing the prevalence of bullying and documenting the ‘perceptions’ that participants had of those involved in bullying. The present research examines in a multivariate and longitudinal context the role various factors in shaping the likelihood of being bullied, including relationship with peers, social rejection, and prior bully victimization experiences. The data used for this presentation come from the 1994 and 1996 waves of the NLSY and NLSY-C. |
