TY - JOUR PY - 2016// TI - Bullying among South Korean adolescents: prevalence and association with psychological adjustment JO - Violence and victims A1 - Yun, Ilhong A1 - Kim, Seung-Gon SP - 167 EP - 184 VL - 31 IS - 1 N2 - This study assessed the prevalence rates of physical, verbal, relational, property, and cyber bullying among a sample of South Korean middle school students. Associations between bullying and a list of psychopathological symptoms were also examined. Finally, whether a link between bullying and psychopathological symptoms is modified by the level of parental attachment was examined.

RESULTS show that, contrary to Western studies, girls were more likely than boys to be involved in school bullying. Significant interaction effects between parental attachment and bully/victim status on depression were also discovered.
