The aim of this study is to identify an ecological prediction model of bullying behaviors. Based on an ecological systems theory, this study identifies significant factors influencing bullying behaviors at different levels of middle and high school. These levels include the microsystem, mesosystem, exosystem, and macrosystem. More specifically, the ecological factors investigated in this multilevel analysis are individual traits, family experiences, parental involvement, school climate, and community characteristics. Using data collected in 2008 from 485 randomly selected students in a school district, this study identifies a best-fitting structural model of bullying behavior. Findings suggest that the ecological model accounted for a high portion of variance in bullying behaviors. All of the ecological systems as well as individual traits were found to be significant influences on bullying behaviors either directly or indirectly.
本研究旨在确定一个欺凌行为的生态预测模型。基于生态系统理论，本研究确定了在中学和高中不同层次影响欺凌行为的重要因素。这些层次包括微系统、中系统、外系统和宏系统。更具体地说，本多层次分析中调查的生态因素包括个体特征、家庭经历、父母参与、学校氛围和社区特征。本研究使用 2008 年从学区内随机抽取的 485 名学生收集的数据，确定了欺凌行为的最佳拟合结构模型。研究结果表明，生态模型可以很好地解释欺凌行为的差异。所有的生态系统以及个体特征都被发现对欺凌行为有直接或间接的重要影响。
