Abstract
This study aimed to explore the relationships between victimization and psychological stress, peer relationships, and enjoyment of school life. A total of 1,271 junior high school students responded to questionnaires. Seven groups were identified by hierarchical cluster analysis using dates of traditional and cyber victimization. “Traditional-indirect victims” reported a lower level of enjoyment of school life and higher levels of irritated-angry affect, depressive-anxious and physical responses than did “low victims.” “Cyber-indirect victims” reported a higher level of depressive-anxious feelings than did “low victims.” “Traditional-direct victims” reported a higher level of depressive-anxious feelings, cognition-thought of helplessness than did “low victims.” “High victims” reported higher levels of irritated-angry affect, depressive-anxious feeling, and cognition-thought of helplessness than did “low victims.” “Internet victims” reported a higher level of depressive-anxious feeling and had fewer friends in their classes than did “low victims.”
