Abstract

Bullying is a major social problem that is receiving increased attention in society and research. The overarching goal of the current study was to identify risk and protective factors of bullying examining direct effects between peer relationship, emotion regulation, and bullying involvement. Therefore, a cross-sectional study was conducted with N = 201 students (55.7% female) between the ages of 10 and 15 ( M = 12.86 ; SD = 1.29 ). Path model analysis revealed that trust had a negative effect on victimization, dysfunctional emotion regulation had a positive effect on perpetration and victimization, alienation had a positive effect on dysfunctional emotion regulation, and victimization and communication had a positive effect on functional emotion regulation. Additionally, dysfunctional emotion regulation strategies mediate the path from alienation to bullying and to victimization. Study results underline the importance of considering the bullying dynamic from a combined perspective of intra- and interindividual factors. The results partially confirmed the hypotheses and contribute to our knowledge about individual and contextual correlates of bullying in adolescents. The present findings suggest that group facilitation with the entire class in team building could be a useful intervention to strengthen peer relationships as well as the relationships between classmates and teachers and students.

理解青少年欺凌的复杂性:同伴关系、情绪调节和受害之间的相互作用

欺凌是一个重大的社会问题，在社会和研究中受到越来越多的关注。本研究的主要目的是确定欺凌的风险和保护因素，考察同伴关系、情绪调节和欺凌参与之间的直接影响。因此，我们对10 - 15岁的N = 201名学生(55.7%为女性)进行了横断面研究(M = 12.86;Sd = 1.29)。路径模型分析发现，信任对受害行为有负向影响，功能失调情绪调节对加害者和受害行为有正向影响，疏离感对功能失调情绪调节有正向影响，受害行为和沟通对功能情绪调节有正向影响。此外，功能失调的情绪调节策略介导了从疏离到欺凌和受害的路径。研究结果强调了从个体内部和个体间因素的综合角度考虑欺凌动态的重要性。结果部分证实了这些假设，并有助于我们了解青少年欺凌的个体和环境相关性。本研究结果表明，在团队建设中，全班的小组促进可以是一种有效的干预，以加强同伴关系，以及同学之间和师生之间的关系。
