This study examined the influences of middle school students' affective empathy and guilt-proneness on defending behavior against bullying and investigated if class climate (teacher support and student support) had moderating effects. The participants consisted of 163 second to third grade students (77 boys and 86 girls) in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do. The data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation, and hierarchical regression. Moderating effects were examined using multiple regression analysis. The results of this study indicated that guilt-proneness, teacher support, and student support had significant effects on the defending behavior of middle school students. The higher the level of guilt-proneness, the higher the level of defending behavior. Defending behavior was also higher when students perceived a belongingness to a classroom where their teacher and students provided support. However, affective empathy had no effect on defending behavior. Second, teacher support moderated the relation between guilt-proneness and defending behavior. The effects of guilt-proneness on defending behavior against bullying were greater when teacher support was high compared to low. The results suggested that guilt-proneness and classroom climate play important roles in increasing defending behavior in middle school students. Some implications for future research were also discussed.

Bullying prevention and intervention programs often include empathy training. This study investigated how the cognitive empathy and affective empathy are related to bullying involvement. For this purpose, a questionnaire composed of Korean version of Participant Role Questionnaire scale (bullying, defending, and outsider behavior), and Korean version of Basic Empathy Scale (cognitive empathy, and affective empathy) were administered to 598 middle school students from 7 different middle schools in Gyeongnam province of Korea. The results, based on Structural equation modeling, showed that adolescents' cognitive empathy were indirectly linked to bullying behavior of adolescents' through defending behavior and outsider behavior. Adolescents' affective empathy were directly linked to bullying behavior. These findings could guide the development and implementation of prevention programs for adolescents' bulling. Implications and future research are discussed.

We examined gender-specific behaviors in children and classified types of bullying behavior among 1,181 fifth and sixth grade elementary schools students. Differences were identified in individual variables, family environment variables, and school environment variables. Furthermore the behavioral tendencies of those variables towards bullying were also investigated. Collected data were subjected to descriptive and comparative statistical analysis using the SPSS program(Ver 15.0). Results showed that tendency towards bullying was gender specific. Bullying behavior, reinforcing behavior, assistant behavior, and onlooking behavior in boys were influenced by individual factors only. However, defending behavior in boys was influenced by individual and school factors, while victimizing behavior was influenced by individual and family factors. In girls, onlooking behavior was only influenced by individual factors, while reinforcing behavior was influenced by individual and family factors. Bullying behavior, defending behavior, assistant behavior, and victimizing behavior in girls were influenced by individual, family, and school factors.

본 연구는 직장 내 괴롭힘 주변인 행동을 측정하는 척도를 개발하고 타당화하는 것을 목적으로 실시되었다. 이를 위해 직장 내 괴롭힘 관련 선행연구를 참고하여 문항을 개발하고, 친가해행동, 방어행동, 방관행동으로 하위유형을 규정하였다. 전문가를 통한 내용 타당도 확인 후 총 31문항의 예비문항을 구성하였다. 지난 3년간 직장 내 괴롭힘을 직·간접적으로 목격한 민간기업 사무직 직장인 288명의 설문자료로 탐색적 요인분석을 실시하여 최종문항 26개를 선정하였으며, 이 과정에서 방어행동이 적극적 유형과 지지적 유형 두 가지 구인으로 변별됨이 확인되었다. 지난 1년간 직장 내 괴롭힘을 직·간접적으로 목격한 민간기업 사무직 직장인 518명의 자료로 확인적 요인분석을 실시하고 개발된 척도의 타당성과 신뢰성을 확인하였다. 하위유형의 재확인을 위해 경쟁모형 비교를 실시한 결과 적극적 방어행동과 지지적 방어행동이 변별됨이 재차 확인되었다. 직장 내 괴롭힘 가해행동, 조직 내 이타적 행동, 친 사회적 행동, 개입에의 공포, 도덕적 이탈, 죄책감, 도덕적 정체성의 준거변인을 설정하여 모든 하위유형의 준거 관련 타당도를 확인하였다. 본 연구의 결과로 직장 내 괴롭힘 주변인 행동과 관련된 후속 연구 과제와 직장 내 괴롭힘 예방 및 개입에 있어 주변인 행동을 활용할 방안에 대해 논의하였다.
