Abstract

There is ample evidence of bullying victimization-perpetration association. However, little is known about the role of socioemotional variables in reinforcing or mitigating it. There is a need to delve deeper into what victims feel and do that leads them to bully. This study aimed to analyze the moderating role of peer relationship management and anger regulation in the victimization-perpetration association, controlling gender and age. This cross-sectional study involved 874 Spanish middle school students (47.8% girls) aged 11 to 18 years (M = 13.92, SD = 1.45). The results revealed that the perpetration was positively related to victimization and negatively related to peer relationship management and anger regulation. In addition, peer relationship management can moderate the victimization-perpetration association, acting as a protective factor, when the ability of victims to regulate anger is sufficiently trained. These findings highlight the importance of designing effective prevention based on socio-emotional development to fully curb bullying.

为什么有些受害者也是恶霸?同伴关系管理与愤怒调节在传统欺凌中的作用

有充分的证据表明，欺凌受害者与犯罪者之间存在关联。然而，人们对社会情绪变量在加强或减轻它方面的作用知之甚少。有必要深入研究受害者的感受和行为，从而导致他们欺凌。本研究旨在分析同伴关系管理和愤怒调节在性别和年龄控制下对受害-加害人关联的调节作用。本横断面研究涉及874名11至18岁的西班牙中学生(47.8%为女生)(M = 13.92, SD = 1.45)。结果显示，行凶行为与受害行为正相关，与同伴关系管理和愤怒调节负相关。此外，当受害者调节愤怒的能力得到充分训练时，同伴关系管理可以作为一种保护因素，调节受害者-加害人的关联。这些发现强调了设计基于社会情感发展的有效预防措施以充分遏制欺凌行为的重要性。
