Abstract: Background/purpose: School bullying is one of the most common school indiscipline problems in public schools, so the current research aimed to develop a School Bullying Victimization Scale (SBVS) and validate its psychometric properties. Materials/methods: The latest version of SBVS consisted of thirty items. It was administered to a sample of 459 primary school students (245 boys and 214 girls) in the Asir Education Directorate in Abha, whose ages ranged between 11 and 12 years (M[subscript age] 11.75 ± 0.43). The validity of SBVS was assessed using content validity and construct validity. Internal consistency was also examined for both the sub-dimensions and the overall scale. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) revealed three main factors: physical bullying victims, verbal bullying victims, and social bullying victims, each of which involved ten items. Results: Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) supported the findings of EFA, demonstrating that the fit indices for the confirmatory model were within acceptable limits. Additionally, all standardized factor loadings exceeded 0.5 and were statistically significant (p<0.01). Reliability of SBVS was established using Cronbach's alpha and split-half reliability methods, both for the sub-dimensions and the overall scale. Conclusion: The SBVS demonstrated strong validity and reliability, making it a valuable tool for assessing school bullying victimization among primary students.
