The sample consisted of 751 participants recruited from middle school students. The Revised Olweus Bully/Victim Questionnaire, Children’s Hope Scale, and a brief demographic information form including participants’ gender, age, and grade level were used for data collection. The data were analyzed using multinomial logistic regression analysis. The results revealed that higher hope scores decrease the likelihood that the subject is a victim or bully/victim. While being older increases the likelihood that the subject is a bully, being girl decreases the likelihood that the subject is a bully. The findings are discussed in the light of the literature with some suggestions for further studies UR - https://doi.org/10.1501/Egifak_0000001137 L1 - https://dergipark.org.tr/en/download/article-file/509280 ER -
