중학생의 또래 괴롭힘의 영향요인 분석

Abstract

Objectives The purpose of this study is to investigate the factors that influence peer bullying among middle school students and provide implications for preventing school violence, and suggests implications for school violence prevention education.
 Methods The study uses hierarchical regression analysis to examine the relative influence of individual characteristics (moral disengagement, character) and class characteristics (Sociometric Popularity, peer perceived popularity, and class norms) that contribute to peer bullying. The study also investigates the moderating effect of moral deviation and character in the relationship between class climate and peer bullying using Process macro Model 2 (multi-additive adjustment model).
 Results The results indicate that character and moral disengagement significantly influence peer bullying, but their interaction effect with the class climate is not statistically significant.
 Conclusions The study suggests that prevention efforts should focus on educating students about individual characteristics such as character and moral disengagement, as well as establishing non-violent norms and addressing peer hierarchy. Instead of indirectly enhancing moral disengagement through character development, we should aim to directly improve moral disengagement. These findings can inform the development of effective prevention programs to address school violence.
