ABSTRACT
For the purpose of this study was to examine the moderating effects of domestic violence upon the effects
of school environmental factors on bullies in school violence in adolescence. This survey was conducted
using 259 middle school students in Gwangju Metropolitan City. School environmental factors included 6
variables: teacher support, harmful environment contact in school, follow-up measures against school
violence, after-school activities, neglect of school violence, and school violence anxiety. The results of
the analysis, the greater teacher support and school violence anxiety which existed, the less the level
of school violence. In contrast, it was found that the more harmful environment contact which
existed in a school, the stronger post arrangement against school violence, the more after-school
activities, the more neglect of school violence and the more experience of domestic violence, all led
towards higher levels of engaging in school violence. The moderating effects of domestic violence upon the
effects of school environment factors on bullies in school violence were also found to be statistically
significant. Based on the results of this study, increasing the teacher support given to adolescence and
other practical suggestions were made to reduce school violence in adolescence.
