Abstract: This study involves a longitudinal analysis of whether changes in bullying victimization over time corresponded with changes in lifestyles and/or self-control. The data from the Korean Youth Panel Survey were collected from a national sample of 2844 fourth grade students in South Korea and were followed for five years. Latent growth curve modeling was estimated to examine how individual differences in bullying victimization changed over time and whether inter-individual differences in average victimization for the first wave and inter-individual changes in risk across all five waves could be explained by time-invariant individual-trait variables as well as time-varying lifestyle variables. The findings reveal the significant cross sectional and longitudinal effects on bullying victimization, supporting to propositions, derived from both state dependence and population heterogeneity perspectives.
