Description
Summary:The increasing rates of bullying victimization on adolescence recently is an alarm. Therefore, there is need for a protective factor that can contribute in reducing the instances of bullying, particularly for the victim. One of potential protective factor is friendship. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between friendship quality and bullying victimization on middle school students in Banda Aceh. A total of 360 middle school students (185 male and 175 female) from 4 schools in Banda Aceh was selected using cluster and disproportionate stratified random sampling. Data in this study was collected using Friendship Qualities Scale and The Revised Olweus Victim Questionnaire. Data analysis showed that there was a negative and significant correlation between friendship quality and bullying victimization on middle school students in Banda Aceh (r= -0,3, p<0,05). This indicated that higher score on friendship quality scale would followed by lower score on bullying victimization questionnaire, and vice versa. Thus, it can be concluded that a high friendship quality could be a potential protection in decreasing adolescents involvement in bullying victimization.
