This study examines the consequences that physical and verbal/social victimization by peers and the magnitude of the groups of bullies have on academic performance and the psychological and social domains of Health-related Quality of Life (HRQoL). 1428 secondary school students in the south-east Spain completed the Spanish version of the "Adolescent Peer Relations Instrument-Bullying" and "KIDSCREEN-52" questionnaires in order to analyse, respectively, peer victimization and the psychological and social domains of HRQoL. Data on sociodemographic characteristics and academic achievement was also collected. Findings emphasise the potential of peer victimization in all its forms as risk factors explaining poor HRQoL in psychological, social and emotional domains. The number of bullies was an imponent and significant risk factor that explains a worse HRQoL in the five socio-psychological dimensions studied (Odds Ratio 4.08, Odds Ratio 9.25, Odds Ratio 4.69, Odds Ratio 2.91, Odds Ratio 11.92). Nevertheless, peer victimization rarely seems to affect academic achievement. Results suggest that much of prevention and intervention are still needed to reduce peer victimization, focusing on large bullies' groups and their harmful impact on adolescent's HRQoL.
本研究考察了同伴的身体和言语/社交欺凌以及欺凌者群体规模对学业成绩以及与健康相关的生活质量（HRQoL）的心理和社会领域的影响。西班牙东南部的 1428 名中学生完成了西班牙版的“青少年同伴关系工具-欺凌”和“KIDSCREEN-52”问卷，分别分析了同伴欺凌和 HRQoL 的心理和社会领域。还收集了关于社会人口特征和学业成绩的数据。研究结果强调了所有形式的同伴欺凌作为解释心理、社会和情感领域 HRQoL 较差的风险因素的潜在性。欺凌者的数量是一个重要的风险因素，它解释了在所研究的五个社会心理维度中较差的 HRQoL（优势比 4.08、优势比 9.25、优势比 4.69、优势比 2.91、优势比 11.92）。然而，同伴欺凌似乎很少会影响学业成绩。研究结果表明，仍需要进行大量的预防和干预工作，以减少同伴欺凌，重点关注大的欺凌者群体及其对青少年 HRQoL 的有害影响。
