Abstract

Previous studies have found links of intimate partner violence exposure and child maltreatment with school bullying among children and adolescents. However, little is known about how exposure to family violence may influence child and adolescent bullying perpetration and the mediating mechanism underlying this relationship. This study aimed to examine the relationship between exposure to family violence and school bullying perpetration, as well as the mediating roles of parental support and depression in this relationship. The sample consisted of 3,199 Chinese primary and secondary school students from grades four through twelve (mean age 13.4 years, 50.8% boys). Participants responded to validated self-report questionnaires in 2021. Generalized structural equation modeling was analyzed. The study found that exposure to family violence was significantly and positively associated with school bullying perpetration. Furthermore, parental support and depression, in this order, mediated the effect of exposure to family violence on bullying perpetration. Moreover, the overall mediating effect on traditional bullying perpetration is larger than that on cyber bullying perpetration. Less parental support and depression acted as risk factors for the negative effect of exposure to family violence on child and adolescent bullying perpetration. The importance of these two factors can motivate future intervention initiatives to prevent bullying perpetration from an integrated perspective.

儿童和青少年遭受家庭暴力与校园欺凌行为：父母支持和抑郁的序列中介作用

以往的研究发现，儿童和青少年遭受亲密伴侣暴力和虐待儿童与校园欺凌之间存在联系。然而，人们对遭受家庭暴力如何影响儿童和青少年欺凌行为以及这种关系的中介机制知之甚少。本研究旨在探讨家庭暴力与校园欺凌之间的关系，以及父母支持和抑郁在这一关系中的中介作用。样本由 3,199 名四年级至十二年级的中国中小学生组成（平均年龄 13.4 岁，50.8% 为男生）。参与者在 2021 年回答了经过验证的自我报告问卷。研究采用广义结构方程模型进行分析。研究发现，遭受家庭暴力与校园欺凌行为呈显著正相关。此外，父母的支持和抑郁依次调解了家庭暴力对欺凌行为的影响。此外，对传统欺凌行为的总体中介效应大于对网络欺凌行为的中介效应。较少的父母支持和抑郁是家庭暴力对儿童和青少年欺凌行为产生负面影响的风险因素。这两个因素的重要性可以激励未来从综合角度预防欺凌行为的干预措施。

期刊介绍： The aim of this journal is to publish conceptual, methodological and empirical papers dealing with quality-of-life studies in the applied areas of the natural and social sciences. As the official journal of the ISQOLS, it is designed to attract papers that have direct implications for, or impact on practical applications of research on the quality-of-life. We welcome papers crafted from interdisciplinary, inter-professional and international perspectives. This research should guide decision making in a variety of professions, industries, nonprofit, and government sectors, including healthcare, travel and tourism, marketing, corporate management, community planning, social work, public administration, and human resource management. The goal is to help decision makers apply performance measures and outcome assessment techniques based on concepts such as well-being, human satisfaction, human development, happiness, wellness and quality-of-life. The Editorial Review Board is divided into specific sections indicating the broad scope of practice covered by the journal. The section editors are distinguished scholars from many countries across the globe.
