An Analysis of Mobility of Experiencing School Violence and the Influential Factors

Neighborhood predictors of bullying perpetration and victimization trajectories among South Korean adolescents

“…Similarities between the transient and high‐risk groups lie in the relatively higher prevalence of bullying perpetration and victimization than the low‐risk group at baseline (second year of middle school), which then showed a declining trend. These results are consistent with the general longitudinal pattern that depicts bullying experience in adolescence—there is an increase in bullying involvement starting in the later years of elementary school, which peaks in middle school, and then declines afterward (Ahn, ; Barker et al, ; Han et al, ; Kretschmer et al, ; No, Lee, Lee, & Hong, ). From a social dominance perspective, entry to middle school marks a period of social status formation, during which explicit and implicit forms of aggression is used to maintain or reconstruct an individual's social dominance position (Pellegrini & Long, ).…”

Furthermore, a fair amount of research has found that participant roles may change, such that victims become bullies, and bullies become victims, or youth are involved in multiple participant roles (Han, Lee, Kim, & Lee, 2016;Kwak, Kim, & Kim, 2016;Moon, Morash, & McCluskey, 2012).…”
