Abstract: To explore the relationship between cumulative ecological risk and bullying victimization, and to test whether resilience moderates this relationship, a total 3879 junior high school students from 24 middle schools in China participated in this study. The results showed that:(1) the cumulative ecological risk was positively associated with bullying victimization. The relationship was characterized by the nonlinear pattern of the quadratic function (negative acceleration model) between cumulative ecological risk and bullying victimization; (2) The moderating effect of resilience was significant in the nonlinear relationship of the quadratic function between cumulative ecological risk and bullying victimization. This relationship showed protective-reactive model. In conclusion, the cumulative ecological risk has huge influence on bullying victimization, and we should not be over-optimistic about the protective function of resilience in those students who experience severe adversity. This study provides an inspiration for preventing bullying victimization in junior high school students.

Key words: bullying victimization, cumulative ecological risk, resilience, moderating effect, junior high school students
