Although many studies have examined the relationship between bullying victims and aggressive behavior from the perspective of perpetrators of aggressive behavior, very few studies have focused on the demographic dimensions and victims of bullying in influencing aggressive behavior in junior high school students. This study analyzes the effect of age, gender, and victims of bullying in terms of physical, verbal and cyberbullying on aggressive behavior in junior high school students in Malang City. This study used a cross-sectional study with 314 respondents in Malang City, Indonesia. The data collection technique used an online questionnaire adapted from the Olweus Bullying Questionnaire (OBQ) to measure victims of bullying and the Brife Aggression Questionnaire (BAQ) to measure aggressive behavior. The results of the study found that age affects aggressive behavior. As they get older, the aggressive behavior of children begins to decrease and girls are more at risk of having aggressive behavior than boys. In addition, there is a significant influence between victims of physical and verbal bullying on aggressive behavior. The higher the victim of physical and verbal bullying, the higher the aggressive behavior carried out by the victim. However, the unexpected findings of cyberbullying victims had no effect on aggressive behavior. The higher the number of victims of cyberbullying, it has no effect on adolescent aggressive behavior. Other factors need to be anticipated and counselors need to provide full socialization for perpetrators and bully-victims to improve their behavior so that there are no other victims of bullying.
