Abstract
Nowdays a number of program have been implemented to address bullying. However, interventions that focus on the victims of bullying is still lacking highlights. The impact of bullying can not be underestimated, either short-term (afraid to go to school, insecurity, feeling isolated), or long-term (affecting the formation of a negative self concept, depression, emotional problems and desire to suicide). This study will examine a model in which the impact of neuroticim personality trait and the school climate on the victim of school bullying. 616 students from grade 11 senior high school (SMA or Sekolah Menengah Atas) from five regions of Jakarta, Indonesia, to be sampled in this study using purposive sampling technique. NEO PI-R, School climate scale, and My life at school check are used as measuring tools. I found that the neuroticism personality trait and the school climate had significant correlations on the victim/target of bulllying. Neuroticism personality trait in this study has a positive contribution to victim of bullying. It means the stronger of neuroticism owned by students, the stronger the tendency of students to become victim of bullying. The results also indicate if the school climate has contributed to the prevention of the victim. I concluded that efforts to address bullying should involve the personality traits and the school climate improvement process.
