Maraknya kasus bullying victimization pada remaja saat ini menjadi perhatian serius. Oleh karena itu, perlu adanya suatu faktor protektif yang dapat berkontribusi dalam mengurangi bullying yang terjadi, khususnya dari pihak korban. Salah satu faktor protektif yang potensial adalah melalui hubungan pertemanan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui hubungan antara kualitas pertemanan dengan bullying victimization pada remaja SMP di Kota Banda Aceh. Sampel penelitian berjumlah 360 remaja SMP (185 laki-laki dan 175 perempuan). Total dari 360 remaja SMP dari 4 sekolah di kota Banda Aceh didapatkan dengan menggunakan teknik pengambilan sampel cluster sampling dan disproportionate stratified random sampling. Pengumpulan data dalam penelitian ini menggunakan Friendship Qualities Scale dan The Revised Olweus Victim Questionnaire. Hasil analisa menunjukkan terdapat hubungan negatif dan siginifikan antara kualitas pertemanan dengan bullying victimization pada remaja SMP di Kota Banda Aceh (r= -0,3, p<0,05). Hal ini mengindikasikan semakin tinggi skor kualitas pertemanan maka semakin rendah skor pada intensitas bullying victimization, demikian pula sebaliknya. Dengan demikian, dapat disimpulkan bahwa kualitas pertemanan yang tinggi dapat menjadi pelindung yang potensial dalam menurunkan keterlibatan remaja dalam bullying victimization.

The middle school version of the Washington Assessment of Risks and Needs of Students (msWARNS) is a self-report instrument designed for use by school personnel to identify barriers to school attendance and school success for sixth- to eighth-grade students. It measures six domains relevant to improving school outcomes that include aggression-defiance, depression-anxiety, substance use, peer deviance, home environment, and school engagement. In the present study, a bifactor S − 1 model, for which the aggression-defiance domain was the reference factor for the general factor and the other domains constituted the subfactors, had good fit and better fit than several other alternative models. Results of multigroup confirmatory factor analysis revealed invariance across different groups defined by gender and race/ethnicity (Native American, African American, Hispanic, and White), with a sample of referred middle school students ( N = 2,356; ages 10–15 years). Reliability analyses support the use of the general factor to guide decision-making, the reliable use of the depression-anxiety factor for providing additional insights, and the remaining factors for guiding communication, as part of an assessment and intervention program for middle school students.
