Abstract

Studies looking at the relationship between bullying and social anxiety have been mainly conducted in developed countries, and little is known about relationships and social withdrawal. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between bullying, social anxiety, and social withdrawal among adolescents. This study used a quantitative method with a cross-sectional study design. Data were obtained from simple random sampling of 157 adolescents. All participants completed measures of bullying, social anxiety and social withdrawal. Data were analyzed using the Spearman rho correlation test with a level of significance <0.05. Results from this research found a strong relationship between bullying and social anxiety in adolescents (r = 0.628). The same result was identified between bullying and social withdrawal among adolescents (r = 0.538). It can be concluded that bullying has a negative impact on the social lives of the participants. The government and public should be aware of this issue and create a campaign to minimize the negative impact of bullying in today’s society.
