N2  - This study tested a model for understanding peer bullying as the product of aggressive attitudes and insecure attachment. A sample of 110 sixth grade students completed self-report measures that assessed attitudes toward the use of aggressive behaviour with peers and distinguished secure from insecure parental attachment. Bullying behaviour was assessed using self- and peer-report. Path analyses indicated that aggressive attitudes mediated a relationship between insecure attachment and bullying behaviour. These findings have theoretical and applied implications for bullying prevention.<p />
