Abstract

Bullying others among school-aged youth is a worldwide phenomenon that has a variety of adverse outcomes, depression being one of them. The objective of the current study was to examine whether perceived parenting styles moderated the relationship between bullying others and depression among adolescents. It was hypothesized that perceived authoritarian parenting would increase the association between bullying others and depression than non-authoritarian parents. The sample included 116 adolescents aged 12-17, with a mean age of 13.87. The percentage of male participants was 47.41% . We used self-report questionnaires, which measured the different variables in the study (bullying, perceptions of parenting styles, and depression). A positive correlation between bullying others and depressive symptoms was found. Bullying others and perceived authoritarian parenting style were also correlated, and a positive correlation was found between perceived authoritarian parenting style and depressive symptoms. The moderation effect of perceived parenting style on the association between bullying others and depressive symptoms was found significant. Among adolescents perceiving their parents as authoritarian, the association between bullying others and depressive symptoms was found to be stronger. In contrast, among adolescents perceiving their parents as non-authoritarian, the association was low. Results of this study have important clinical implications by understanding the parenting component in the association between bullying others and depression. Our results suggest that the psychological outcomes for bullies may depend, among other things, on their perception of parents' parenting style.

父母教养方式对青少年欺凌和抑郁的调节作用

在学龄青少年中欺凌他人是一种世界范围内的现象，它有各种各样的不良后果，抑郁症就是其中之一。本研究的目的是研究感知到的父母教养方式是否会缓和青少年欺凌他人和抑郁之间的关系。据推测，与非专制父母相比，被认为专制的父母会增加欺凌他人与抑郁之间的联系。样本包括116名12-17岁的青少年，平均年龄为13.87岁。男性比例为47.41%。我们使用自我报告问卷，测量了研究中的不同变量(欺凌、对父母方式的看法和抑郁)。研究发现欺凌他人与抑郁症状呈正相关。霸凌他人与感知专制的父母教养方式也存在相关，感知专制的父母教养方式与抑郁症状之间存在正相关。感知的父母教养方式对欺凌他人与抑郁症状之间的关联具有显著的调节作用。在认为父母专制的青少年中，欺凌他人和抑郁症状之间的联系被发现更强。相比之下，在认为父母不专制的青少年中，这种关联很低。本研究的结果对理解欺凌他人与抑郁之间的关系中的父母成分具有重要的临床意义。我们的研究结果表明，欺凌者的心理结果可能取决于他们对父母养育方式的看法，以及其他因素。
