在这项研究中，欺凌行为被视为轻度到极端行为的连续体，并描述了欺凌他人的潜在相关性。为了更好地识别和瞄准那些面临欺凌风险的青少年，根据欺凌行为的数量和频率对欺凌行为进行连续测量，测试了人口统计、行为和心理社会相关性。 1995年调查的558名中学生中，只有20%的人表示没有欺凌行为。在多元回归分析中，支持暴力的不当行为愤怒信念、使用非暴力策略的信心以及使用非暴力策略的意图与欺凌行为的水平相关。尽管男孩比女孩报告了更多的欺凌行为，但在多元回归分析中，性别并不是显着的预测因素。这些研究结果与早期青少年要么是欺凌者要么是非欺凌者的观点不一致，表明需要采取全面的方法来防止欺凌行为。
In this study, bullying,uas examined as a continuum of mild-to-extreme behaviors, and the potential correlates of bullying others were delineated. To improve identification and targeting of those youth at risk for bullying, demographic, behavioral and psychosocial correlates were tested on a continuous measure of bullying behavior rated according to the number and frequency of behaviors. Among 558 middle school students surveyed in 1995, only 20% reported no bullying behavior. In multiple regression analysis, misconduct anger beliefs supportive of violence, confidence in using nonviolent strategies, and intentions to use nonviolent strategies were associated with levels of bullying behavior. Although boys reported more bullying behavior than did girls, gender was nota significant predictor in the multiple regression analysis. These study results were inconsistent with the perspective that early adolescents were either bullies or nonbullies and indicated the need for a comprehensive approach to preventing bullying behavior.
