The Prediction of Emotional Intelligence, Self-Esteem, and Academic Achievement of Bullying in Middle School

The aim of this study was to find the Emotional Intelligence and Self-Esteem among Middle School Bullies. A sample of (361) students from nine big private schools from grades (7-9) were randomly selected. Three instruments were used (Bully Scale for Students, Emotional Intelligence Inventory, and Self-esteem Inventory) to measure the study variable. The study results revealed that there was a significant effect of the emotional intelligence factors ---that is that they had a negative impact on bullying activities. Also self-esteem had a significant prediction in bullying activities. Furthermore, the academic performance has a negative relationship with bullying behavior. The study result was discussed according to the previous literature, and a number of recommendations were suggested. Keywords: Emotional Intelligence, Self-Esteem, Bullies student
