Abstract

Abstract:The aim of this study was to ascertain the relationship between bullying (at home and at school) and subjective well-being (SWB) across three age groups (8, 10, and 12 years old) in Indonesia. This was a cross-sectional study that used data from the third wave of the Children’s Worlds Survey (N = 21,002; 49.4% boys, 50.6% girls), which was conducted in West Java Province, Indonesia. Bullying actions were measured by self-reported frequency of being a victim of each action by siblings and by other children during the last month. For the data analysis, a subsample was considered for each kind of bullying report (physical, verbal, and psychological) stating children were bullied more than three times and reports stating children were never bullied. SWB was measured using the Children’s Worlds Subjective Well-Being Scale (CW-SWBS) and the Overall Life Satisfaction scale (OLS). Data were analysed using linear regression and explained using Cummins’ theory of homeostasis. Being bullied demonstrates a significant negative contribution to the SWB of Indonesian children. Gender displays significant SWB differences, with girls showing higher scores than boys. Age also displays significant differences in SWB scores, with an increase from 8 to 10 years old and a decrease from 10 to 12. Bullied children seem to adapt to the bullying and maintain rather high levels of SWB, but in general their scores are significantly lower than non-bullied children, with the exception of children 8 years of age. Bullying is a serious problem which needs to be taken into account in order to help these children whose mental health might be at serious risk.
印度尼西亚儿童频繁受欺负与主观幸福感的关系
摘要:本研究旨在确定印度尼西亚3个年龄组(8岁、10岁和12岁)的家庭和学校欺凌与主观幸福感(SWB)之间的关系。这是一项横断面研究,使用的数据来自第三波儿童世界调查(N = 21,002;49.4%男孩,50.6%女孩),该研究在印度尼西亚西爪哇省进行。欺凌行为是通过兄弟姐妹和其他孩子在过去一个月里自我报告成为每种行为受害者的频率来衡量的。在数据分析中,对每一种霸凌报告(身体、语言和心理)都考虑了一个子样本,这些报告称儿童被霸凌超过三次,而报告称儿童从未被霸凌。幸福感采用儿童世界主观幸福感量表(CW-SWBS)和总体生活满意度量表(OLS)进行测量。数据使用线性回归分析,并使用康明斯的稳态理论进行解释。被欺负对印尼儿童的主观幸福感有显著的负向贡献。性别表现出显著的幸福感差异,女孩的得分高于男孩。年龄在主观幸福感得分上也存在显著差异,8 ~ 10岁的主观幸福感得分增加,10 ~ 12岁的主观幸福感得分下降。受欺凌儿童似乎对欺凌有适应能力,主观幸福感维持在较高水平,但总体而言,除8岁儿童外,他们的得分明显低于未受欺凌儿童。欺凌是一个严重的问题,需要加以考虑,以帮助这些心理健康可能面临严重风险的儿童。
