Abstract

ABSTRACT This study examined whether family environment and coping strategies mediate the relationship between adolescents’ bullying involvement (being a bully or victim) and severity of depression. The study utilized a nationally representative school survey and gathered data from 1083 school adolescents (mean age 15.0 ± 1.4 years; 66% females; 46% from the central urban region; 71% had very good to excellent school GPA). The relationship between bullying involvement and depression was partially mediated by family environment and emotion-focused coping. No mediating effect was revealed for problem-focused coping in this relationship. Findings from this study might help understand how the effect of bullying transmits on adolescents’ psychological health, allowing us to supply more in-depth information about the bullying phenomenon than what can be explained by direct effects alone. Family environment and coping strategies used by adolescents seemed to play a critical role in shaping their bullying experience and thus, incorporating these factors into available effective anti-bullying programs can be promising.

家庭环境与应对策略在校园欺凌参与中的中介作用

摘要本研究考察了家庭环境和应对策略是否在青少年参与欺凌（成为欺凌者或受害者）与抑郁症严重程度之间起中介作用。该研究利用了一项具有全国代表性的学校调查，收集了1083名在校青少年的数据（平均年龄15.0±1.4岁；66%为女性；46%来自中心城市地区；71%的学生GPA非常好到优秀）。参与欺凌与抑郁之间的关系部分是由家庭环境和以情绪为中心的应对介导的。在这种关系中，以问题为中心的应对没有显示出中介作用。这项研究的发现可能有助于了解欺凌对青少年心理健康的影响是如何传播的，使我们能够提供比仅凭直接影响更深入的关于欺凌现象的信息。青少年使用的家庭环境和应对策略似乎在塑造他们的欺凌经历方面发挥着关键作用，因此，将这些因素纳入有效的反欺凌计划是有希望的。
