Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine what do parents attribute the causes of bullying to and how the attributions of parents are related with their adolescents' experiences of bullying perpetration and bullying victimization in the subsequent year. The data were drawn from 3,293 Korean secondary students and their parents from the Seoul Education Longitudinal Study across two waves (seventh, eighth grades). The results revealed that 1,228 (37.3%) parents thought that bullying was caused by perpetrators' faults while 512 (15.5%) parents thought bullying was caused by victims' faults. The other 1,553 (47.2%) showed external attributions (e.g., peer, violent media). Adolescents' bullying perpetration and victimization interacted with parent's attribution in predicting later bullying perpetration and victimization. These results indicate that parent's attribution is a critical factor to understanding the alleviation or deterioration of bullying in adolescents. Intervention programs should be designed to concern parents' attribution as well as adolescents' prior bullying experiences.
