This study examined latent trajectories of bullying perpetration and victimization, and identified neighborhood antecedents of these trajectories among South Korean adolescents.
Nationally representative individual-level data from waves 2 to 6 (middle school to high school) of the Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey were merged with neighborhood-level data drawn from the Korean Census and the Korean Ministry of Education. Latent class growth analysis (N = 2,178) and logistic regression were conducted (N = 2,021).
Three unique trajectories of bullying experience-low-risk (80.8%), transient (13.3%), high-risk (5.9%)-were identified. Neighborhood factors (e.g., public assistance receipt, marital status, official bullying incidents, collective efficacy) predicted these distinct developmental paths.
Joint trajectories of perpetration and victimization can inform service or policy decisions as each developmental path may represent unique experiences for youth in need of specific resources for treatment or intervention. Neighborhood indicators are important predictors of developmental trajectories of bullying experience among adolescents.
本研究旨在探讨韩国青少年欺凌行为的潜在轨迹，并确定这些轨迹的邻里前因。
本研究将韩国儿童与青少年纵向调查（Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey）第 2 至 6 波（初中至高中）的全国代表性个体水平数据与邻里水平数据（来自韩国人口普查和韩国教育部）进行了合并。采用潜在类别增长分析（N=2178）和逻辑回归（N=2021）进行了分析。
确定了三种独特的欺凌经历轨迹：低风险（80.8%）、短暂（13.3%）和高风险（5.9%）。邻里因素（如公共援助领取、婚姻状况、官方欺凌事件、集体效能）预测了这些不同的发展路径。
欺凌行为的共同轨迹可以为服务或政策决策提供信息，因为每个发展路径可能代表需要特定资源进行治疗或干预的青少年的独特经历。邻里指标是青少年欺凌经历发展轨迹的重要预测因素。
