In this study, statistical analyses included descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and nested regression model analysis. The results of this study were summarized as follows: (a) media reading acceptance, television, newspaper, comic were related to the fear of school victimization; (b) Students who experienced more victimization, would had higher degree of fear of victimization; (c) Students who possessed higher degree of external locus of control, would had higher degree of fear of victimization. (d) when victimization experience and locus of control were included, the significant relationships between media reading acceptance, television, newspaper and the fear of school victimization were not changed, but the significant relationships between media reading amount, comic and the fear of school victimization were changed. (e) when control variables were included, the significant relationships between media reading amount and the fear of school victimization were changed, but the significant relationship between the other variables and the fear of school victimization was not changed.
