Summary:碩士 === 臺北市立教育大學 === 心理與諮商學系碩士班 === 101 === The main purpose of the study was to investigate the relationship among bullying victimization, mental health, and social support among junior high school students. Clusters were randomly sampled from 18 public or private schools (54 classes, 1417 students) located in Taiwan. The measurement tools applied in this study included Bullying Victimization Inventory, Mental Health Inventory, and Social Support Inventory. Data were analyzed using statistical methods such as two-way ANOVA, Pearson’s Correlation, and multiple regression. The main findings were as follows: 1.There was partly significant interaction effect in bullying victimization among junior high school students with different grade and gender. There were partly significant differences in bullying victimization among junior high school students with different grade and gender. 2.There were significant differences in negative mental health among junior high school students with different gender. 3.There were partly significant differences in social support among junior high school students with different gender. 4.Relational bullying victimization, verbal bullying victimization, sexual bullying victimization, or total bullying victimization could predict negative mental health positively. Relational bullying victimization or total bullying victimization could predict positive mental health negatively. 5.Support from father or total social support could predict negative mental health negatively. Support from teachers could predict negative mental health positively. Support from classmates, friends, father, teachers, or mother or total social support could predict positive mental health positively. 6.There were significantly negative correlations among social support and bullying victimization. 7.Support from father or mother could be the moderator between total bullying victimization and negative mental health. Support from classmates, friends, or teachers could be the moderator between total bullying victimization and positive mental health. Based on the findings, the researcher provides some suggestions for educators and future studies.
