Objective: The aim of this cross-sectional study was to examine the sociodemographic correlates of victimization and perpetration of passive and active bullying in a large, representative population of Taiwanese adolescent students in grades 7 through 12. Methods: Victimization and perpetration of passive and active bullying in 6,178 adolescents were determined using of the self-reported Chinese version of the School Bullying Experience Questionnaire (C-SBEQ). We examined the associations between various subtypes of bullying involvement and gender, age, residential background, and parental educational level. Results: The results indicated that boys were more likely than girls to report all subtypes of bullying involvement experiences (p < 0.001) except for victimization of passive bullying. Younger students were more likely than older ones to report all subtypes of bullying victimization and perpetration-victimization (p < 0.001) but not bullying perpetration. Adolescent students who lived in rural areas were more likely to report victimization of passive bullying and perpetration of active bullying than those who lived in urban areas (p < 0.001). No difference in the subtypes of bullying involvement was found between adolescent students who had low and high parental educational levels. Conclusion: The results of this study indicated that age, gender and urban-rural differences existed in subtypes of bullying involvement in adolescents. These socio-demographic correlates must be taken into consideration when developing programs for prevention, detection, and intervention of school bullying among adolescents. |
