This study has the purpose to reveal the psychological traits of adolescent by examining the differences in the self-esteem and the propensity to interpersonal relations through the research of the bullying, bullies and victims. The subjects of this study are the first and second grade middle school students in Seoul; in A school 216, in B school 214 and in C school 195 students, total 625 middle school students are selected as the subjects. The devices of measurement for the research consist of self-reporting questionnaire and three scales are used-scale for the existence of the experience of bullying or victim, scale for self-esteem and scale for the propensity to interpersonal relations. For the analysis of the data, average, the standard deviation, percentage, ANOVA, Duncan verification, Pearson correlation coefficient and Stepwise regression are used. The results of this study are as follows: First, in the research of the difference in self-esteem of the adolescent according to their bullying or victim, the students with lower propensity to bullying show the highest grades in the questions on self-esteem while the victims of the bullying show the lowest grades. Second, the bullying students show higher grades in every propensity of the propensity to inpersonal relations except for the resist-distrust propensity. While the sympathy-accepting, social-friendly propensity is the most outstanding propensity to the interpersonal relations in every student regardless of the bullies and victims, independent-responsible feeling propensity appears only in the victims, ostentatious-intoxication propensity appears in the bullying students and hardly-bullying and victim students, and competitive-offensive propensity appears only in bullying or victim students. On the other hand, there are no differences between the students groups in the control-superiority propensity. Third, in the invertigation of the influences of the propensity to interpersonal relations on the self-esteem according to their bullying or victim, the influences differ a little in each group. In the bulling group, the resist-distrust propensity have effects on the positive thought of oneself. On the other hand, in the bullied group, control-superiority and competitive-offensive propensity are the predictional factors. And in the group which has the experience of both bullying and victim, ostentatious- intoxication, competitive-offensive and control-superiority propensities have effects on the self-esteem. Finally, in the group of hardly-bullying and victim students, ostentatious-intoxication, competitive-offensive, control-superiority and social-friendly propensities are the strong predictional factors. Especially here, the competitive-offensive propensity has a negative effect on the self-esteem in every group of the students.
