Abstract
This study examined the relationship between bullying behaviour and emotional intelligence (EI) in Canadian high-school adolescents (N = 1694). EI was measured using the Emotional Quotient Inventory: Youth Version (EQi:YV; Bar-on & Parker, 2000) while bullying and/or victimization was assessed using an adaptation of the Bully/Victim Inventory (Olweus, 1997). Students were classified as either not being involved in bullying behaviour (n = 1310), being victimized (n = 182), bullying others (n = 88), or being both victimized and bullying others (n = 114). Victimized students scored significantly lower than their peers on interpersonal, adaptability, and stress management EQi:YV scales. An identical pattern of results was found for students who had both victimized and bullied others. Students who had only bullied others scored significantly lower than their peers on the interpersonal and stress management scales. RESULTS are discussed in terms of the role of EI in bullying prevention and intervention programs.
