The experience of being bullied is said to have long-term effects on the victim’s mental and physical state.  Previous studies have indicated that the experience of being bullied in childhood influences self-esteem, trait anxiety, depression, and loneliness later.  The present research examined influences of the experience of having been bullied in elementary and secondary school on the well-being of university students.  The participants (N=208, 76% of whom were in their freshman year) rated their experiences of having been bullied in elementary, junior high, and high school; reported the frequency of having been bullied during each term; and completed instruments that included scales measuring present self-esteem, subjective happiness, trait anger, and trait anxiety.  Influences of the experience of having been bullied on the students’ present well-being were then evaluated. Mediation effects of self-esteem on well-being were also examined.  The students reported a distinctly higher frequency of having been bullied in elementary and junior high school, compared to when they were in high school.  The results of a path analysis showed that the experience of being bullied in junior high and high school directly influenced the university students’ well-being.  The results also suggested that the experience of being bullied in elementary school had indirect effects on the university students’ well-being, which was mediated by self-esteem.  The results of the present study support prior research in showing that bullying has long-term effects on well-being in later years.
