Abstract

Previous research has predominantly concentrated on school-related factors in adolescent bullying victimization, often overlooking the "cycle of victimization" stemming from parental punishment at home. Moreover, the mechanisms linking parental harsh punishment to bullying victimization have not been sufficiently investigated. This study aimed to investigate the association between parental harsh punishment and bullying victimization, as well as the mediating roles of cooperation and trust. Additionally, the present study sought to make cross-cultural comparisons by testing the moderating effects of collectivism versus individualism. A sample of 50,355 adolescents, with a mean age of 13.11 years (50.70% boys), from nine countries was obtained from the Study on Social and Emotional Skills. The moderated mediation mode was conducted using the SPSS macro PROCESS. Parental harsh punishment was positively associated with bullying victimization. Higher levels of parental harsh punishment were linked to decreased cooperation and trust, which in turn contributed to increased bullying victimization. The associations between parental harsh punishment and both cooperation and trust were more pronounced among adolescents living in individualist cultures than among those in collectivist cultures. This study advanced our understanding of the mechanisms linking parental harsh punishment and adolescent bullying victimization, and it has implications for intervention strategies.

为什么受到父母严厉惩罚的青少年更容易成为欺凌的受害者？九个国家的证据

以往的研究主要集中在青少年欺凌受害的学校相关因素上，往往忽视了源于父母在家惩罚的“受害循环”。此外，将父母严厉惩罚与欺凌受害者联系起来的机制尚未得到充分调查。本研究旨在探讨父母严厉惩罚与霸凌受害的关系，以及合作和信任的中介作用。此外，本研究试图通过检验集体主义与个人主义的调节作用来进行跨文化比较。从社会和情感技能研究中获得了来自9个国家的50,355名青少年的样本，平均年龄为13.11岁（50.70%为男孩）。采用SPSS宏PROCESS进行有调节的中介模式。父母严厉的惩罚与欺凌受害者呈正相关。父母严厉惩罚的程度越高，合作和信任就越少，这反过来又导致了欺凌受害者的增加。与生活在集体主义文化中的青少年相比，生活在个人主义文化中的青少年父母严厉惩罚与合作和信任之间的联系更为明显。本研究促进了我们对父母严厉惩罚与青少年欺凌受害之间机制的理解，并对干预策略具有启示意义。

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.
