Abstract
ABSTRACT Little is known about bullying in Taiwan. This study investigated school bullying and its relation to parenting in 325 junior high school students (13 to 16 years) in Taiwan. The study examined (1) the prevalence of bullying, (2) the reactions of bystanders, and (3) the relationship between parents' authoritarian, authoritative, and overprotective parenting practices and their children's bullying. The results suggest that bullying is a prevalent problem in Taiwanese adolescents, and that it may be similar to bullying in Japan (ijime). In addition, relationships between parenting styles and bullying were found. The results highlight the importance of understanding family and school influences on bullying within a culture, and implications for the development of interventions are discussed.
