A total of 836 students, randomly selected from junior high schools in central Taiwan, completed the instruments used in the study including "Social Skills Scale","Bullying Scale", “Victimization Scale", and “School Adjustment Scale.” The statistical methods used to analyze the data were t-test, One-way ANOVA, Pearson's Correlation, Canonical Correlation, Discriminate Analysis, and Multiple Regression Analysis.
The findings of this study are summarized as follows:
1.The social skills of junior high school students is high
on average.
2.“Verbal bullying” happens most on the campus, while
“physical bullying” happens least on the campus.
3.“Verbal victimization” happens most on the campus,

campus.
4.The school adjustment of junior high school students is
high on average.
5.There were significant differences in students’ social

of bullying behaviors regarding school adjustment.
8.There were significant correlations among social skills,
bullying behaviors, and school adjustment of junior high

bullying behaviors is negative, and the correlation
between social skills and school adjustment is positive.
9.According to Canonical Correlation, significant negative
correlation among cooperation, self-control and all
factors of bullying were found; significant positive
correlation between all factors of social skills and all
factors of school adjustment were found; significant
negative correlation among all factors of bullying and
rules adjustment, learning adjustment, student-teacher
relationship, attitudes toward school were found;
significant negative correlation among all factors of
victimization and peer relationship were found.

assertiveness can positively predicate bullying,

victimization.

assertiveness, cooperation, and self-control can
positively predicate school adjustment; physical
