Bullying has recently become a serious social problem in Korean society . Bullying, which is defined as a phenomenon that one particular student is intensively and continuously harassed or ostracized by a group of students, is apt to produce
harmful effects on bullies as well as victims. Bullying has many causes including those originated from the personality of victims and bullies. This study is designed to investigate the difference in personality trait between victims, bullies, victims/bullies, and neither.
The subjects of this study were 215(115 male and 100 female) 6th-grade students in the primary school in Seoul. Questionnares were distributed to the students and their carers. The student carers were also asked to answer the questions for a survey called the Korean Personality Invertory for Children(KPI-C). SPSS was used for the statistical analysis of the collected test information ; ANOVA, post hoc scheffe test, and T-test were used to analyze the differences between the tested groups. The result of the study is as follows.
1) The victims, bullies, victims/bullies and neither totaled respectively 11(5.1%), 56(26.0%), 11(5.1%) and 137(63.7%). 115 were male and 100 were female.
2)The frequency of victimized is as follows : 1 time is 15(7.0%), 2 times is 4(1.9%) and more than 3 times is 3(1.4%). The frequency of bullying is as follows; 1 time is 40(18.6%), 2 times is 17(7.9%) and more than 3 times is 10(4.7%)
3) The differences between froups in KPI-C test is as follows.
(1) The ESR (p=.00) scale was significantly lower in the victims group than in the neither group and the HPR (p=.00) scale and PSY(p<.01) scale were significantly higher in the former than in the latter.
(2) The ESR(p=.00) scale was significantly lower in the victims/bullies group than in the neither group adn the SOM (p=.00) scale and HPR (p=.00) scale were significantly higher in the former than in the latter.
(3) The SOC (p=.00) scale, PSY (p<.01) scale and AUT (p=.00) scale were significantly higher in the victims group than in the bullies group.
(4) There is statistically no difference between the bullies group and the neither group.
To conclusion, Victims need to learn how to cope with harsh situations, or they will have to face difficulties in relationships. Even after they experience bullying, they may not realize why they have been bullied, or speak out for themselves.
