Abstract: The development of statistical method and software based on relational data provided the necessary condition for research on the relationship between bullying/victimization and peer network. In this paper, one high bullying/victimization class and one low bullying/victimization class were selected from 10 classes among four primary schools, and p* model was used. The results showed that the peer network of low bullying/victimization class tended to include more open peer relational structures, such as 2-star, 3-star and 4-star; however, the peer network of high bullying/victimization class tended to include much more close peer relational structures, such as triangle and isolate. For bullies, they were all in marginalized position, and there was no significant relation between bullying behavior and position in peer relational structures. For victims, there was also no significant relation between victimization experience and position in peer relational structure, however, the victims in low bullying/victimization class were all in marginalized position, and part of victims in high bullying/victimization class were in central position of close peer relational structures as part of victims in marginalized position.

Key words: bullying, victimization, peer network, relational structure, p* model
