Abstract: | This study examines the roles of family variables (authoritarian and authoritative parenting, family disharmony) and school
variables (liking school, perceived control of bullying and school hassles) in discriminating non-bully/non-victims, victims
and bullies. Participants were parents and their children aged 9–12 years (N = 610). Data were analyzed using ANOVA and discriminant function analysis (DFA). Two significant functions emerged, both
of which appeared important in discriminating children according to their bullying status. Together they allowed for the correct
classification of 76% of the non-bully/non-victims, 57% of victims, and 61% of bullies. The main conclusion is that family
and school systems working together may provide the most effective means of intervention for bullying problems.
