ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to investigate the structural relationship between the related variables of
adolescent\'s bullying. A total of 790 middle school students residing in Daegu City completed
questionnaires which assessed social support, self-esteem, interpersonal relationship abilities and bullying. The
sample variance-covariance matrix was analyzed using AMOS 19.0, and a maximum likelihood minimization
function. Goodness of fit was evaluated using the SRMS, RMSEA, and its 90% confidence interval, CFI,
and TLI. The results were as follows: First, self-esteem, and interpersonal relationship abilities had a
significant and direct effect on the bullying. Second, parental support, teacher\'s support, and friend\'s
support had a significant direct effect on both self-esteem and interpersonal relationship abilities. Third,
parental support, teacher\'s support, friend\'s support did not appear to have a statistically significant or
direct effect on bullying, although it may well have an indirect effect on bullying through self-esteem and
interpersonal relationship abilities.
