摘要:Violence among students at school is an ever-growing problem. Bullying can be defined as all forms of repeated physical or mental violence performed by an individual on another person who is not capable of defending him/herself (Roland & Idsoe, 2001). The aim of this longitudinal study is to observe the links between, the bullying on the one hand and the expression of self-concepts and fundamental assumptions on the other hand. The sample was composed of 524 pupils ages 8 to 12 (m=9.44, SD=0.78). The results show that nearly 30% of students are victims of bullying. Moreover, the frequency of attacks appears to be negatively related to the expression of self-concepts and beliefs. These dimensions are long-term, affected by victimization. These different results are discussed in the light of work in the area of «Constructivist Self Development Theory».
