%X Comparatively little is known about the nature, incidence andcorrelates of bully/victim problems in the Northern Ireland school system. The present study examined the prevalence of self-reported experiences of bully/victim problems (f2f and cyber), and the relationship between such experiences and levels of psychological wellbeing among representative samples of primary school pupils who participated in the 2008 and 2009 ¡®Kids Life and Times Survey¡¯ (ARK, 2008, 2009). Bully/victim problems among these children were pervasive. Personal experience of involvement in bully/victim problems was associated with impaired psychological well-being.Findings are interpreted within the context of previous data from Northern Ireland and the wider international literature on bully/victim problems.
