Abstract

ABSTRACT This study aims to investigate the association of bullying victimization of primary school students with their happiness in urban and rural areas of Thailand. A nationally representative survey from Thailand Healthy School Data 2017 was employed. A total of 7,825 students (age 6 to 12 years) from 160 schools in 9 regions were included in the analysis. Multistage probability random sampling was applied to select students enrolled and collected data through face-to-face interviews. About 49.7% of students had been bullied. Bullying victimization was higher among males (52.0%) and younger students. Bullying was also associated with urban/rural (x2 = 5.3, p = 0.021). Students who had been bullied were 28.0% less likely to be happy (p 0.000; CI 0.647–0.810). Bullying victimization has a significant negative effect on students’ happiness. The findings suggest that specific action should be taken by entities which directly contribute to the implementation of the education system in Thailand.

欺凌与学校幸福感的关系:来自泰国全国学校调查的证据

摘要本研究旨在调查泰国城市和农村地区小学生受欺凌情况与其幸福感的关系。采用了2017年泰国健康学校数据的一项具有全国代表性的调查。来自9个地区160所学校的7825名学生（6至12岁）被纳入分析。采用多阶段概率随机抽样的方法选择入学学生，并通过面对面访谈收集数据。约49.7%的学生曾遭受过欺凌。男性（52.0%）和年龄较小的学生受欺凌的比例较高。欺凌也与城市/农村有关（x2=5.3，p=0.021）。受过欺凌的学生幸福感降低28.0%（p 0.000；CI 0.647-0.810）。欺凌对学生的幸福感有显著的负面影响。调查结果表明，对泰国教育系统的实施有直接贡献的实体应采取具体行动。
