In this study, adolescents were classified into four types based on their group bullying experiences (persecution, suffering, persecution & suffering, and no experience in persecution & suffering) and differences of adolescent psychological variables(narcissistic personality, social skill, morality) among four types were analyzed. Also, adolescent psychological variables were examined to be the discriminative variables among four group bullying types and the influential variable among psychological variables was found. The subjects were 396(197 male, 199 female) middle school students at K city. They completed the Bully/Victim Questionnaire, Narcissistic Personality Inventory, and the Defining Issues Test(DIT). Statistical analyses of data were frequency, mean, standard deviation, Chi-squared test, MANOVA, Bonferroni test, and discriminant analysis. Cronbach's alpha was computed for the reliability of the scales. SPSSWIN 20.0 was used for data analysis. The results were as follows: First, no experience in persecution & suffering group consisted of 294(74.2%) adolescents followed by 56(14.1%) persecution group adolescents and 27(6.8%) persecution & suffering group adolescents. Suffering group consisted of 19(4.8%) adolescents and it showed the lowest frequency. Second, as a result of examining adolescent psychological variables according to group bullying type, there were significant differences in narcissistic personality and social skill. While there were significant differences in power, self-sufficient, superiority, there were no significant differences in ostentation, vanity, sense of privilege, and exploitation. Regarding social skill, there were significant differences in all subscales of social skill. However, there was no significant difference in morality. Third, as a result of examining adolescent psychological variables as the discriminative variables among group bullying types, only social skill was important to discriminate adolescent group bullying types. However, only 43.7% of four group bullying types were correctly classified into their respective group by social skill.
