“…The results revealed that normative beliefs about bullying were related to patterns of bullying roles. These findings are consistent with previous studies that found that believing offline bullying (or aggression) and cyberbullying are appropriate was associated with engaging in offline bullying or cyberbullying (Guerra et al, 2011; Seo, 2021; Werner & Nixon, 2005; Wright & Li, 2013). Those adolescents with negative beliefs about offline bullying were more likely to belong to the low involvement and defenders classes than the bully/victim-nondefenders class.…”

“…This finding aligns with comparisons for normative beliefs, as the two classes differ in their normative beliefs about cyberbullying but not in their beliefs about offline bullying. This study accords with the findings of prior research in concluding that it is important to distinguish between specific types of normative beliefs, because they may differ in their effect on specific types of bullying (Machackova & Pfetsch, 2016; Seo, 2021; Werner & Nixon, 2005).…”

“…For example, it suggests that adolescents who fit the bully/victim-nondefenders or the offline bully-cyber outsiders classes, which accounted for 29% of the sample and are considered risk profiles, should be the main targets for bullying intervention. In addition, findings that adolescents in the defenders class have high levels of defending behavior in both offline and cyber contexts are very encouraging for the concurrent reduction of offline bullying and cyberbullying (Seo, 2021). However, only 17% of the sample was included in this class, whereas 54% of the sample was in the low involvement class, that is, they neither bullied nor defended.…”

“…Thus, it is necessary to devise strategies to encourage adolescents in the low involvement class to engage in positive behaviors in relation to bullying, such as defending. As indicated in the study by Seo (2021), adolescents are aware that involvement by bystanders is one solution to cyberbullying (e.g., engaging in defender behavior such as informing the police or school teachers). Therefore, there is a need for a bullying intervention plan that allows these perceptions to lead to actual engagement.…”

“…Offline bullying and cyberbullying have strong co-occurrence (Ruth et al, 2019; Shi et al, 2021). Studies indicate that offline bullying is associated with cyberbullying both concurrently and longitudinally (Campbell, 2005; Hinduja & Patchin, 2007; Raskauskas & Stoltz, 2007; Seo, 2021; Wang et al, 2019; Wright & Li, 2013). These studies have shown that experiences with offline bullying and cyberbullying are linked among bullies and victims.…”

This study identified patterns of bullying roles in offline and cyber contexts among Korean adolescents and investigated their relationships with normative beliefs about offline bullying and cyberbullying. Four distinct latent classes of participant roles in offline bullying and cyberbullying emerged through a person-centered latent profile analysis: (a) low involvement (54%), (b) bully/victim-nondefenders (9.9%), (c) defenders (17%), and (d) offline bully-cyber outsiders (19.1%). Adolescents in the defenders class reported the highest levels of defending behavior both online and offline compared with adolescents in the other classes, while adolescents in the bully/victim-nondefenders class reported the highest levels in all roles except for the defending role (i.e., bully, follower, outsider, and victim roles). The overall pattern of the results was similar for the bully/victim-nondefenders and the offline bully-cyber outsiders class, though these two classes have marked differences in cyberbullying scores. The results indicated unique differences regarding antecedents (normative beliefs about offline bullying and cyberbullying) tied to patterns of roles in offline bullying and cyberbullying. The findings suggest that preventive interventions against bullying are possible by changing personal beliefs about offline bullying and cyberbullying.

Objectives: This study seeks to examine how negative personal and normative beliefs about follower behavior moderates the relationship between adolescents’ reactive aggression and follower behavior in bullying.Methods: The participants were 968 (boys 539, girls 429) adolescents who were first to second graders from six middle schools in Jeju-do. They completed self-report assessments of reactive aggression, follower behavior in bullying, and negative personal and normative beliefs about follower behavior and proactive aggression. Data were analyzed using SPSS and Model 2 in Process macro version 4.2 and a simple slope verification was analyzed to confirm the moderating effect.Results: Adolescent’s follower behavior was significantly positively correlated with reactive aggression. However, there were significant negative correlations between negative personal and normative beliefs about follower behavior. Adolescent’s reactive aggression is thought to have an effect on follower behavior in bullying. Additionally, in the state of controlling gender and proactive aggression, negative personal beliefs about follower behavior moderated the relationship between reactive aggression and follower behavior in bullying. High levels of negative personal beliefs about follower behavior were associated with reactive aggression. However, negative normative beliefs about follower behavior had no moderating effect.Conclusion: The findings reveal the need to consider negative personal beliefs about follower behavior and how they interact with reactive aggression in understanding and preventing follower behavior. Furthermore, this study emphasizes that reactive aggression is an important factor in predicting the follower behavior in bullying.
